It surely made desktop computers sound "beefy". DUAL CORE... it just imparts a vision of a device much stronger than everything else that you are used to. And now, computers are not the only electronic devices boasting a dual core. Now you can go out and buy a cell phone using two processors!
Along with more powerful multimedia features, the LG Optimus 2X's high performance Tegra 2 processor makes for faster, smoother web browsing and applications with virtually no screen lag. The Tegra 2 processor is developed by graphics powerhouse NVIDIA and gives you a phone that runs at a staggering 1ghz clock speed! LG claims a very low power consumption for the device, but I have to wonder if that stat is a relative term. Is it suck up low power compared to what other "similar" phones would be at? Of course this would a huge guess by LG considering nobody else makes a similar device!
What really gets me about this phone is everything else that this device can do even better simply because of the dual core processors. The LG Optimus offers a full 1080p video playback and recording with full HDMI mirroring that expands content on external displays to full HD quality! The LG Optimus 2X can connect wirelessly to any DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compatible digital device such as HD TVs for a console-like gaming experience taking full advantage of the phone’s HDMI mirroring, accelerometer and gyro sensor. The smartphone also includes both rear- and front-facing cameras, microSD memory expandability, Micro-USB port and a hefty 1500mAh battery. The phone will be released with Android 2.2 and upgradeable to Android 2.3.
This thing is going to be a beast and once it arrives in the States the other devices will be hard pressed to combat the specs this phone will deliver. The front and rear facing 8 megapixel camera already bests most other smartphones on the market which on average only have 3 megapixels. Start looking for this phone in Korea and Asia over the next month or two and hopefully to hit the United States early 2nd Quarter of next year. But good luck getting one because if what I hear is right, this thing will be flying off store shelves no matter the cost. If people were willing to shell out $500 or more for the 1st generation Iphones this LG will sell really well considering it should only be around $200 to $300 and most carriers will undoubtedly have specials galore for this one!
