There’s some bad news for those in the UK who were itching to get their hands on LG’s latest flagship device. LG has told UK retailer Clove that the Optimus 4X HD – LG’s reply to the quad-core Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X – will be releasing in the UK in mid to late July.

The phone has already been released in Germany and will be making its way to other “Northern” European countries in the coming days and weeks, but not so for the UK, where people will have to wait for a month or more to get their hands on the device.

You can still pre-order the Optimus 4X HD from Clove for £456, and hope the phone gets released in the UK as soon as possible.
