An Android 4.1 Jelly Bean based firmware for the LG Optimus 4X HD has leaked online.

The LG Optimus 4X HD has a lot riding on its shoulders. Until the Optimus G arrives, the 4X will have to bear the responsibility of keeping LG’s head high in front of giants like the Galaxy SIII, the One X, and the iPhone 5. Thankfully, at least on paper, the Optimus 4X HD looks well equipped to go head to head against the latest and greatest smartphones from its competitors. Let us find out if the actual product lives up to its specifications.

Android handsets might be selling like hot cakes, but it is still difficult to be an Android handset manufacturer. Android devices are dime a dozen, with new ones being introduced almost every week. It’s not easy to make your flagship standout. LG is hoping that a wide array of software enhancements will give the Optimus 4X HD an edge.

LG recently launched the powerful Optimus 4X HD smartphone in India. It is the company’s first smartphone which packs a 1.5 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core plus 1 processor.

LG has just announced the successor to the Optimus 2X, the Optimus 4X HD. The handset packs in a Tegra 3 processor, a 4.7-inch IPS LCD with 720p resolution and 1GB of RAM.
