FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LG’S First Quad-Core Smartphone Coming to Canada This October

LG Optimus 4X HD with Advanced User Experience (UX) Offers Fast Performance, Superb
IPS Display and High Capacity Battery

TORONTO (September 27, 2012) – LG Electronics (LG) Canada announced today that the
Optimus 4X HD will debut in Canada in October and will be available through WIND Mobile
and Videotron.

Beyond the fast NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, LG’s latest Android 4.0 device boasts a higher
density battery for more power and longer run times and a superb high resolution viewing
experience with its 4.7-inch True HD IPS display. Since its debut at Mobile World Congress, the
Optimus 4X HD has been upgraded with new SiO+ battery technology, Quick Memo to enhance
productivity, and Media Plex for an advanced multimedia experience.

“The Optimus 4X HD offers incredible speed and performance without compromising
battery life,” said Geoff McMurdo, Vice President Mobile Communications, LG Electronics
Canada. “Users want intuitive software and beautiful hardware and the Optimus 4X HD is
another proof point that LG is a strong player in both areas.”

The Optimus 4X HD is fitted with NVIDIA’s 4-PLUS-1 Quad-Core mobile processor, the
Tegra® 3, which utilizes a fifth core for the best blend of outstanding performance and power
efficiency. For maximum performance, Tegra® 3 runs on all four cores, but when in standby
mode the processor defaults to the fifth, battery-saver core. In a future upgrade, LG will
introduce Eco-Mode specifically for the Optimus 4X HD which will allow users to manually
shut down any of the Tegra 3’s cores for even more control over power consumption and
performance.
