-- LG’s Optimus 4X HD Android 4.0 Smartphone And Optimus 3D
Max Feature Multiple RFMD Components
Greensboro,
NC, March 29, 2012 – RF Micro Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: RFMD), a global
leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance radio frequency
components and compound semiconductor technologies, today announced
LG has selected RFMD to supply multiple components in support of the
LG Optimus 4X HD and the Optimus 3D Max smartphones. LG’s Optimus 4X
HD and Optimus 3D Max are expected to be available globally in 2012.
The LG Optimus 4X HD features a vibrant 4.7-inch HD display
(1280 x 720), Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich,” a quad-core 1.5GHz processor,
21 Mbps HSPA+ performance, front (1.3MP) and rear (8MP) cameras, and
dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity, all within a sleek exterior that is only
8.9mm thick. The LG Optimus 3D Max features a dual-core 1.2GHz processor,
8GB of storage, a 5MP dual-lens camera, Android 2.3 “Gingerbread,” and
LG's “exclusive brightened” WVGA 4.3-inch display, all housed in a compact
9.8mm shell.
The RFMD components enabling LG’s flagship smartphones
include RFMD's PowerSmart® power platform, and RFMD’s RF5501 802.11
b/g/n Wi-Fi front end module. RFMD’s PowerSmart features a revolutionary
RF Configurable Power Core™ that delivers multiband, multi-mode coverage
of all cellular communications modulation schemes, including 4G, up
to LTE 64QAM. RFMD's RF5501 Wi-Fi front end module satisfies smartphone
and tablet manufacturers' requirements for aggressive size reductions
in 802.11b/g/n front end solutions, while delivering high linear output
power and reduced component count.
Bob Bruggeworth, president and CEO of RFMD, said, "RFMD is pleased
to expand our relationship with LG and support these flagship smartphones
with our industry-leading cellular and Wi-Fi components. RFMD’s PowerSmart
power platforms continue to lead a product category that is reshaping
