LG is dropping two new phones into the Windows Phone 7 pool. The releases consist of the LG Optimus 7 and the LG Optimus 7Q, which come in varying form factors that both run Microsoft's upstart platform.
Both devices will attempt to streamline your entertainment experience with DLNA-based multimedia sharing, which allows you to send files from your smartphone to other DLNA-equipped devices wirelessly. They'll also come with an AR app called ScanSearch, which delivers real-time information on a varied number of categories, and Voice-to-Text, which allows you to compose emails, as well as Twitter and Facebook updates, without having to do any typing.
The LG Optimus 7 is a full touchscreen slate, with 125 x 59.8 x 11.5 mm dimensions. Details include a 3.8 inch capacitive touchscreen (480 x 800 resolution), a 5.0 megapixel camera module with LED flash and 720p video capture, aGPS, WiFi, 3G with HSPA, Bluetooth 2.1, 16GB of internal storage and a 1,500mAh battery.
The LG Optimus 7Q, on the other hand, takes a landscape slider form factor, sporting 119.5 x 59.5 x 15.22mm dimensions. It has most of the same features as the other phone, save for a smaller 3.5-inch capacitive display (800 x 480 resolution).
Core hardware for both consist of a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, 512MB of ROM and 576MB of RAM. Naturally, they're getting the whole Windows Phone 7 experience, complete with all the bells and whistles of Redmond's latest mobile effort.
LG will roll out the Optimus 7 and Optimus 7Q in over 35 countries beginning October 21. The 7Q will come to the US as the LG Quantum, which is slated for release under AT&T in the fourth quarter, priced at $199.99.
