A new LG media phone has been spotted, and will be out on the market by the end of the year, according to a BGR report. The LG Xenon handset sports a 2.8-inch, 240×480 LCD screen, which slides over to unveil a full QWERTY keyboard. It is apparently going through testing at AT&T, which will be the exclusive provider of the handset. The quad-band phone features 3G UMTS and HSDPA data support as well as assisted GPS and Wi-Fi.

LG Xenon, features:

• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and dual-band UMTS/HSDPA connectivity 

• A 2.8 inch, 240 x 480 pixels display (most probably touch-enabled)

• Wi-Fi and A-GPS

• Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0

• 3 MP camera, sans autofocus but with VGA video recording

• 100MB of internal memory, expandable up to 16GB with a microSD / microSDHC card

• 105.5 x 53.5 x 15.8 millimeters

These specs are surely the ones of a good phone, so let’s hope the real look of Xenon is actually a bit different than what appears in the leaked picture.  

AT&T should start selling the LG Xenon just before Christmas, for a price that’s currently not known.
