LG will release two new Android phones – the Optimus Net and the Optimus Pro – later this summer in Europe.
Both devices will run on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and include a 1500mAh battery.
The two phones are both equipped with a 800MHz CPU.
The Optimus Pro focuses on QWERTY keyboard typing whereas the Optimus Net aims to consolidate social networking communications in one widget.
The Optimus Pro and the Optimus Net will be available in 30 markets globally from this summer, starting in Europe.
