                 Feature Multiple RFMD Components

GREENSBORO, N.C., March 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RF Micro Devices,
Inc. (Nasdaq:RFMD), a global leader in the design and manufacture of
high-performance radio frequency components and compound semiconductor
technologies, today announced LG has selected RFMD to supply multiple
components in support of the LG Optimus 4X HD and the Optimus 3D Max
smartphones. LG's Optimus 4X HD and Optimus 3D Max are expected to be
available globally in 2012.

The LG Optimus 4X HD features a vibrant 4.7-inch HD display (1280 x
720), Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich," a quad-core 1.5GHz processor,
21 Mbps HSPA+ performance, front (1.3MP) and rear (8MP) cameras, and
dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity, all within a sleek exterior that is only
8.9mm thick. The LG Optimus 3D Max features a dual-core 1.2GHz
processor, 8GB of storage, a 5MP dual-lens camera, Android 2.3
"Gingerbread," and LG's "exclusive brightened" WVGA 4.3-inch display,

The RFMD components enabling LG's flagship smartphones include RFMD's
PowerSmart(R) power platform, and RFMD's RF5501 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi
front end module. RFMD's PowerSmart features a revolutionary RF
Configurable Power Core(TM) that delivers multiband, multi-mode
coverage of all cellular communications modulation schemes, including
4G, up to LTE 64QAM. RFMD's RF5501 Wi-Fi front end module satisfies
smartphone and tablet manufacturers' requirements for aggressive size
reductions in 802.11b/g/n front end solutions, while delivering high
linear output power and reduced component count.

expand our relationship with LG and support these flagship smartphones
with our industry-leading cellular and Wi-Fi components. RFMD's
