LG F240 possibly spied in benchmarks packing 1080p screen, Snapdragon S4 Pro

LG's [Optimus G](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/19/lg-optimus-g-review-a-quad-core-powerhouse-with-nexus-aspiratio/) (and [Nexus 4](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-4-review/)) might have been the resolution champion among non-[phablet](http://www.engadget.com/tag/phablet/) Android phones for only a brief moment before the [HTC Droid DNA](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/13/htc-droid-dna-hands-on/) arrived, but there's clues surfacing that LG may fight its way back to a draw. Following hints through browser profiles, a set of results on GLBenchmark have appeared for an unconfirmed LG F240 wielding a 1080p screen resolution; given the allusions to Korean phone carriers like [KT](http://www.engadget.com/tag/KT/) and LG's earlier decision to [back away from tablets](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/19/lg-backing-off-tablets-focus-on-cellphones/), we suspect that it's something pocketable. The F240 could otherwise be more of an evolution, if it's real -- the Adreno 320 graphics and 1.5GHz clock speed allude to the Optimus G's [Snapdragon S4 Pro](http://www.engadget.com/tag/SnapdragonS4Pro/) sticking around, and the biggest leap beyond the screen could be an upgrade to [Jelly Bean](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/android-4-1-jelly-bean-review-a-look-at-whats-changed-in-googl/) (4.1, not 4.2). While benchmarks aren't entirely trustworthy without a tangible device to match, there's enough here to imply that HTC will have at least one major competitor in a very young category.
