LG Prada K2 Coming in 2012


Bangalore: LG and Italian fashion label Prada has will introduce a new smartphone, LG Prada K2 in 2012.

The LG Prada K2 handset will have a 4.3 inch NOVA display and a dual-core processor. However, LG has not revealed actual specifications of the handset.

Both companies had worked together earlier for the first LG Prada phone that was released in 2007 to compete with the original first generation Apple iPhone. The second phone was the LG Prada II smartphone with slide out QWERTY keyboard and 3G support in the year 2008. The LG Prada II ran LG's own custom operating system instead of Windows Mobile or Android.

The LG Prada K2 handset will have company's super-bright NOVA display with maximum brightness. That will give competition to the Nokia 701 handset which is claimed to have 1000 nits brightness as well.

The LG Prada K2 will come with Android 2.3.x Gingerbread running on it and a dual-core processor. Obviously the smartphone will come with Prada styling.

So far, the company has not committed an exact date of launch or revealed anything on pricing. We just hope that this smartphone be upgradable to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich if it launches next year.
