If 2011 was the year of the dual-core processors, then 2012 is shaping up to be defined by quad cores. Among these phones, what we can expect at MWC next month, the X3 looks to be one of the early challengers to HTC in the quad-core market.

 

The giant processor comes courtesy of the Tegra 3 chipset by Nvidia, and while the 720p screen measures in at a quite large 4.7 inches, it supposedly manages to retain a slim 9mm waistline. LG plans to stick in a 2000mAh battery to power it all.

Other features include 16GB of internal storage, 8MP camera, Touch capacitive buttons, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, and an NFC. Also, the X3 should definitely come with the latest Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, right out of the box.
We can expect the X3 by the end of Q2 this year.
