LG has upgraded its LG Optimus LTE Android smartphone with NFC and a very interesting feature, which automatically changes the device's settings depending on the context.

LG calls this new feature LG Tag+ (hence the name of the new device, LG Optimus LTE Tag), and it's similar to Sony's programmable SmartTags. It uses NFC (Near Field Communication) to communicate with special stickers or "tags" which you can stick pretty much anywhere - on your desk or the dashboard of the car, for example.

Then, you can program the phone to change its settings depending on the tag it last communicated with. For example, you could swipe the device over a tag on your car, and have it automatically turn on Bluetooth and GPS.

The rest of the specifications place this device in the upper echelon of Android phones. It sports a 1.2 GHz dual-core CPU, a 4.3-inch, 800x400 IPS display, a 5-megapixel camera and 16 GB of memory.
