Smartphones are becoming faster and faster all the time, and now the time has come for quad-core smartphones. Today we get information of a LG X3, which appears to be LG’s quad-core monster.

The device pictured above has a 4.7-inch HD touchscreen (1280 x 720), a quad-core Tegra 3 processor, an 8-megapixel rear-camera, 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, 16GB internal memory, microSD card support, 21 Mbps HSPA support (possibly even LTE in some markets), 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, and a 2,000 mAh battery. All of this is packed in a case that is only 9 mm thick!

The guys over at Pocketnow take a good look on the software on the LG Nitro. I personally prefer the untouched UI of Android, and not these manufacturer-made skins.

LG confirms today that the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS will be initially available for the following high-end LG smartphones which were introduced this year: the Optimus 2X, the Optimus Black, the Optimus 3D and the Optimus LTE.

In December this year, the forthcoming upgrade schedule and additional specific models for the ICS OS upgrade will be posted on our LG Mobile Global Facebook page (www.facebook.com/LGMobile) and on our local LG websites. Please stay tuned for more updates from LG.
