LG unveils their dual-core Optimus 2X smartphone

Today LG Electronics unveiled the LG Optimus 2X, the world’s first (according to the press release) dual-core smartphone.  Armed with NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 processor, the Optimus 2X promises a faster, smoother Android experience.

Some of the key features of the new phone:

  • 1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor
  • 4-inch WVGA screen
  • 8GB onboard storage (up to 32GB via microSD)
  • 1500 mAh battery
  • 8 megapixel rear camera and 1.3 megapixel front camera
  • HDMI mirroring
  • 1080p MPEG-4/H.264 playback and recording

An official US carrier hasn’t been announced yet, but one rumor points to T-Mobile’s subscribers as the lucky winners.

While nothing has been officially announced, it’s probably a safe bet that this phone will be on display at CES.  If so, we’ll try to get a closer look (and maybe a hands-on experience) while there.

    mirage Good to see dual core processors start to appear with smart phones. But the monthly service fees are still too high for me.

Howdy, Stranger!
