LG today announced that its first Quad-Core smartphone, the Optimus 4X HD, is now available for purchase in Europe. Since its introduction at the Mobile World Congress in February this year, the retail availability of the Optimus 4X HD has been eagerly anticipated. German customers will be the first to experience the power of Optimus 4X HD, followed by the Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom and Italy.

Featuring Nvidia’s 4-PLUS-1 Quad-Core mobile processor, Tegra 3, the Optimus 4X HD boasts of unparalleled performance and speed.

With a 2,150mAh battery — the largest among Quad-Core smartphones — and proprietary SiO+ technology, the battery in the Optimus 4X HD is able hold a greater charge without adding bulk to the clean lines of the smartphone. The 4.7-inch True HD IPS display on the Optimus 4X HD offers a superior high-clarity viewing experience with a resolution of 1280 x 720. The Optimus 4X HD provides white background for the e-mail and message screen that users frequently use and True HD IPS allows for more accurate reproduction of white that enhances readability.
The Optimus 4X HD also comes with Media Plex which combines a range of functions to enhance image and video playback such as Fingertip Seek and Live Zooming. Media Plex also includes Time Catch Shot which allows one to select and save the best shot among the images taken just before the shutter button is depressed.
