Microsoft's goal for 2012 is to make Windows Phone a solid third platform offering a viable alternative to iOS and Android. Things are already starting to look good as Windows Phone Division head Andrew Lees believes an important goal has been met: Microsoft became credible again in the phone market. Good things are already happening in Windows Phone-land and, according to Lees, this is just the beginning. Expect dual-core and LTE-enabled phones too! Current Windows Phones are all single-core "but I suspect that they will be faster in usage than any dual-core phone that you put against it, and that?s the point," said Lees. There will be dual-core Windows Phones around the time the software will be able to take advantage of the processing power offered by the new chips.
Redmond wants to approach LTE differently. Initial phones that support the network standard were both huge in size and battery usage. Lees thinks "it?s possible to do it in a way that is far more efficient, and that?s what we will be doing".

Have you been looking for LG to come up with some really top-tier hardware? Sure, we've heard of some impressive devices that will soon be coming our way, but what about devices with A-list specs across the board? Assuming the details play out, a newly-rumored LG Android may be just the phone you've been hoping for. 
While Sprint and AT&T will have Samsung Galaxy S II phones with their original Samsung Exynos processors, we've learned that T-Mobile's version of the phone would have its dual-core chip come from another source. What we haven't known is just where that chip would come from. We had known about Tegra 2-based GS2s for what seems like ages now, but could a third manufacturer be involved? It looks now that one sure will, with Samsung tweeting that Qualcomm will be stepping up to the task. 
With Samsung recently announcing its outrageously huge Galaxy Note, LG should probably reconsider the name of the phone which is pictured above, called Optimus Note. It surfaced in a blurry picture as well as press render and, as you can see, it's a QWERTY slider.
