LG’s mobile division just recently announced the development of the next generation Chocolate, the company’s most successful mobile handset to date. From the design team that created the original Chocolate, the new phone will showcase a highly distinctive design that takes optimal advantage of the device’s features and performance.

“We’re returning to an all-time favorite to re-create the original experience,” said Skott Ahn, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “Over 21 million Chocolate handsets have been sold across 54 countries to date and we believe the next generation Chocolate will have a tremendous impact on the market, extending the growth that LG experienced during the first half of this year.”


LG’s new Chocolate phone is the fourth model in the LG Black Label Series. The original Chocolate debuted globally in May 2006 and went on to become the most popular phone in the company’s history. The same year, this mobile phone was recognized internationally for its design innovation by winning the prestigious Red Dot Design and the iF Design awards. Other Black Label Series handsets include LG Shine with its revolutionary full-metal body and LG Secret, an elegant carbon fiber and tempered glass classic.

The handset will feature -
  • a 4-inch scratch-resistant multi-touch enabled display that will sport an 800 x 345 pixel resolution and a 21:9 aspect ratio
  • 3G with HSDPA, EDGE/GPRS
  • Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth with A2DP
  • A-GPS
  • 3.5mm earphone socket (according to video)
There don't seem to be any available images of the handset itself, but check out the hot teaser video making the rounds.



The handset will be using a variation of LG’s proprietary new S-Class UI. There’s no word on the camera’s resolution yet but hopefully we’ll see more of the specs getting confirmed in the coming month as the new LG Chocolate phone is expected to be unveiled in August. Stay tuned.
