NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 quad-core SoC is said to appear on more than one device at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona by the end of the month. One of these is the LG X3, which we first saw last month.
We’re pretty sure this will be LG’s flagship Android handset for 2012, with a 4.7-inch screen and 720p resolution. It will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream sandwich on a, as mentioned, 1.5GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 chip, which features some pretty smart power saving features so hopefully it won’t be too taxing for its 2,000mAh battery.
Now, courtesy of a tipster, we’ve got some actual benchmarks showing just how speedy NVIDIA’s new chip really is. The LG X3 has managed a Quadrant benchmark score of 4,412, pretty much destroying the Galaxy Nexus (full review here), which has a similar screen resolution and is also running Android 4.0.3.
You’ll be happy to know that the LG X3 could be launching in the first half of 2012 with a variety of 3G and 4G radios, so US availability is highly probable.
