Early hands-on preview of LG Star

The upcoming LG Star with dual-core Tegra 2 processor has been making multiple blurry apperance lately. Now the lucky folks at Engadget had an early Christmas treat as they managed to get a proper hands-on preview of the device.

Thanks to them, we are able to see clearer shots of the device and its interface. From first impression, the LG Star looks like a serious busienss device with clean lines without any funky aesthetic elements. As revealed earlier, the LG Star has a large 4″ display that supports 800×480 pixels. Although it isn’t AMOLED, the screen is reported to be better than your average LCD which could probably be the alternative Super LCD.

The device is supposed to be running on the latest Gingerbread for launch but right now its running on the Android 2.2 Froyo. Despite this, the LG Star performed remarkably well in benchmark numbers leaving the Nexus One with 2.2 far behind, proving that dual-core processor is able to give extra punch than your average mobile processors today. Of course being an unfinished device, the guys reported some kinks and lags along the way which boils down to the software. On the UI, we had said before that it looks like a cross breed between HTC’s Sense UI and Samsung’s TouchWiz found on the Galaxy S.
