LG Electronics will showcase their new TVs powered by Google TV at CES in Las Vegas next week.

The Google TV will feature ARM-based chipsets, allowing for a reduction in power consumption.
The entirety of a press release has leaked for the upcoming 4G LTE device by the name of LG Spectrum, an Android device made with high definition content and speed in mind.

According to whoever leaked this device to Droid Life, we'll almost certainly get a much closer look at this device next week at CES 2012, or later in the month without a doubt.

There's something about device information leaks that gets everybody's engine going, and certainly there's no greater time to get a new tank of gas than right before the year's biggest event, CES 2012 - LG and Intel know this to be true, and are denying any an all claims that they are shaking hands for a Medfield device come Spring. What we're hearing from the Korean Times, on the other hand, is that they've got confirmation from "high ranking executives" from both LG and Intel saying that LG will produce the first market-ready Intel-toting smartphone with Android for a March release. More than likely we'll be seeing something along the lines of a smartphone or two running the Medfield SoC, LG or not, come early January.

On the other hand, they do not that exact start dates very well could vary by market as each country, carrier, and smartphone model have different requirements.
