LG Optimus 2X is the First Dual-Core Smartphone
We've heard about a few different dual-core smartphones but none of them were expected to launch before the clocks struck 2011. However, in a surprise move, LG last night took the wraps off the Optimus 2X, the world's first dual-core smartphone.
Packing Nvidia's 1GHZ dual-core Tegra 2 processor, this baby boasts a 4-inch WVGA screen, 8GB memory (up to 32GB via microSD), a 1500 mAh battery, an 8-megapixel rear camera and-1.3 megapixel front camera, HDMI mirroring and 1080p MPEG-4/H.264 playback and recording.
Originally rumored to be shipping with Gingerbread, LG has said the device will actually ship with Android 2.2, aka Froyo, with a Gingerbread update to follow at a later date. Release dates for the U.S. are still unknown, so it's very likely we will have to wait until 2011 before we see the Optimus 2X on our shelves.
As far as international availability goes, the Optimus 2X will be available in Korea next month with countries in Europe and Asia to follow.
Though the Optimus 2X has claimed the title of the 'first' dual-core cell phone, it definitely won't be the last, as 2011 is shaping up to be yet another monster year for smartphones. Still, it's a bit of a bummer that LG has chosen to tease us with an official announcement with no North American release dates. Sit tight and we'll bring you more news on U.S. availability as soon as we can!

Wow now i can officially say that phone is more powerful than alot of laptops
Before I even bother to read the article I just want to say 'It's about time that there was a phone that looked better than the iPhone 4'. This thing is just damn nice full stop.
Hope that screen is AMOLED; might just be the smartphone i've been waiting on.
but only a 4inch screen should be at least 4.3 or 4.5 to matter to me. Also its time for 64Gb on a phone...but 1080p video and dual core on a smart phone is kick a**.
Just noticed also that Korea and Euro/Asia crapola gets it first what garbage that is. The U.S. needs to get the good phones first. Tired of that!
I think we need a hybrid Kinect/Mozilla Concept Phone then we can call it a day. After that, focus on making camera quality and battery life better.

Why?

You should know, LG is korean.
Why?
Because the universe gravitates around Washington DC, Jesus was born in Bethlehem 3 hours west of NYC and no one can outsmart or out technology the USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!
US Products get released first in US.. Asian products get released in Asia first... Europe gets them second no matter where from... So US just wait for it... the IPhone also hits markets in US before anywhere else...
Hey let the Korean's get it first and work out all the bugs
I'm really looking forward to the smartphones of 2011.
LG in general - no thankyou
Nvidia in a mobile device - no thankyou

Don't forget, U.S. has a history of only 400 years, ..... helooo there , you don't exist as a nation.....you are a mix up from all nation, even names of your city are a copy name of European city(roma, new Amsterdam renamed new york,etc...).
all the brains come from Europe end Asia....
happy holidays
Personaly I dont mind what country invents new Tech.
If it does what it says on the box with no major bugs im happy.

Blame your carriers.

maybe I'm not, but you for sure are from u.s.
man why they have to ruin this with 1500 mAh???? my HTC HD2 is 4.3 and 1 year old technology and eats battery like V8 taking gas out of a Toyota Echo's gas tank.
4 spam in a row, i think thats a new record....

@ dominatorix.. we are a country of emigrants.. you retard!.. talking bad about the US is talking bad about yourself! This country was founded by people wanting to be free of a tyrannical oppressive government. Funny how what you call a "mix up" turned in to the free-est, most innovative and powerful NATION in the world all in in less than 300 years by the way. Flawless? No.. but even though we claimed our independence a mere 234 years ago.. look what we have accomplished in such a short time (despite our current administrations attempt to ruin this great experiment).
We are a proud nation of emigrants that go to work, worship in our own religions and raise families all in the name of freedom. If you wish to call us a "mix up" well be my guest its a free country.. oh wait! you don't live here do you?.. soooo sorry my friend. Tell you what.. your always welcome.
God bless America!

....well you don't know your own history ,i don't recall that people from Italy, Ireland,U.K., comes from country with tyrannical oppressive government.
U.S. government "recruited" brains from Germany after the WWII to help your country in the space program(like Brown ).
The real freedom country are in Europa, we have social program, health care program for all citizen.
your low are inspirited by Roman Low.
You don't have nothing original in U.S. , In Las Vegas you find copy of Pyramids-Egypt, Eiffel Tower-France, etc..etc,we don't need copies....
I' don't need to live there, I'm very happy heir, you don't have anything I want.
A good wine you by from France end Italy, a good food end natural you find in italian, france,greece, restaurants.
YOUR COUNTRY is dependent of brains from Europe end Asia...
U.S. what a joke to its citizen.
Now the phone is comming to the stores very soon, LG Optimus 2X is ready for sale in Denmark in the beginning of March.. Cant wait
