LG has just announced their latest smartphone that keeps up with the times. It's the Spectrum 4G LTE which will be hitting Verizon on January 19th for $199.99 on a 2-year contract. This smartphone packs a 4.5-inch display with a 1,280 x 720 resolution, a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU, 4GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, an 8MP camera, a front-facing 1.3MP camera, and unfortunately just Android 2.3 "Gingerbread". Apparently, it'll be getting an upgrade to Android 4.0 in the future but don't wait up for it.

Huawei has just announced what's being touted as the world's thinnest phone yet. This one's called the Ascend P1 S but there's also a fatter model called the P1. Both of them share pretty much the same spec sheet but the P1 S is just 6.8mm thin (the P1 is 7.69mm). This smartphone packs a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD display, a dual-core TI OMAP 4460 1.5GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of ROM, an SGX 540 CPU, an 8MP camera, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, pentaband UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA connectivity, and Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich".

Those specs are actually quite good so I wonder how Huawei managed to cram all of that power into this thin phone. The Ascend P1 S will be hitting North America in Q2 of this year which is just a few months away. The price is still unknown right now.
