LG officially unveils new BL40 Chocolate with 4-inch touchscreen

LG has unveiled details about its new LG BL40 Chocolate, an extremely thin and attractive touchscreen device.

This newest addition to LG's "Black Label" Chocolate family features a 4.0-inch touchscreen display with 800 x 345 pixel resolution for cinematic quality images. The display is covered by stylish, curved tempered glass. The wide 21:9 aspect ratio lets users more easily browse the web, and a dual-content interface lets users display different pieces of content simultaneously. In pictures the hardware looks extremely minimalistic, without so much as a visible button aside from the touchscreen display and what appears to be a volume rocker and dedicated camera key. The pictures also detail a 5.0 megapixel camera, although that detail was not confirmed by LG's press release.

The LG Chocolate BL40 will be available in the third quarter of 2009 in 54 countries, according to LG. Earlier this month we reported that LG planned to announce the new device in August. More details and specifications are forthcoming.
