LG's new toys, including the previously-announced Optimus 2x and Optimus Black LG

BARCELONA, Spain--The show doesn't begin until Monday, but LG has spilled more details on its new devices for Mobile World Congress. We already knew about the Optimus 3D, but the company also will show the Optimus Pad tablet. Here are the preliminary details on each device from an LG press release.

The LG Optimus 3D will have a 1GHz dual-core processor with dual-channel and dual-memory architecture. It will offer a 3D-capable 4.3-inch WVGA display that won't require glasses. We're still not sure how that will work, but we'll find out tomorrow at LG's press conference at 2:00 a.m. PT. The Optimus 3D also will feature HDMI and DLNA ports.

The Optimus Pad has an 8.9-inch display with a 15:9 aspect ratio and a 1280x768-pixel WXGA resolution. It will run Android 3.0 Honeycomb and is powered by a 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor. You'll also find a 3D camera and HD 1080p decoding.

That's it for now, but check back tomorrow for the full details. CNET will be at the official unveiling to bring you more specs and hands-on photos.
