LG Optimus 2X (Star) goes official, 1080p video recording confirmed

16 December, 2010
LG is such a tease - it took a few leaks and a sort-of-official announcement, but it is finally confirming some of the specs for the LG Optimus 2X - dual-core Tegra 2 at 1GHz, 1080p video recording and Froyo are a go...

          Even with 1080p recording, will the LG Optimus record video like this? Don't think so due to the lack of auto focus in video recording :

            (heart) the specs, sounds like a real powerhouse device! Would be cool to see Full HD video/output as well. Hope it has a mSD slot, 'cos that 8GB will fill up quick-smart at that resolution. Hopefully with that SOC they'll be able to use proper pixel-dumping digital zoom (like the N8) to maintain quality and detail.

                  Congratulations to LG Optimus 2X (Star) and to LG Optimus Mach LU3000,
                  Now you in same line with others power phones! Good job LG!
                  Also to become more popular phone brand like a Nokia, don't forget about handset build quality, why so many peoples prefer or like Nokia phones, even they got old fashioned symbian OS.

                        A few people seem to be asking about the different button layouts. The one with 4 illuminated buttons is the type Europe will get and the other type (that looks like the galaxy s button layout) is for LG’s home market (Korea).

The sheer power of this phone is currently off the charts and if LG can push this out of the door soon then they will hold the Android crown until the other manufacturers comes up with their flagships.

                            If you look closer at the pictures it is not the same phone! One has got a scroll like button and the other one has got 4 touch buttons.. Which one is the correct one??

                              [deleted post]Whatever Nokia is going to do they better do it fast. A Meego handset was originally slated to be released this 4th quarter as their flagship but that plan was scrapped and no reason was given. They better release it soon to avoid the dual-core rush of Android which I expect to set the trend for future flagships. If the single-core, MeeGo running N9 is priced near or more than the dual core flagships of Android then Nokia may have a tough time selling them.

                              I know Nokia will field in some dual core handsets but that is said to be scheduled late 2011.

                                      well dual is the way forward one day phones will be like 1.6 dual core. and guess what that time is nearly here.since the tegra2 chipset is fast and low consumption. Nvidia are well clued up.

                                      lets hope the iphone 5 will adopt common sense and have a nice screen dual core processor. everything else is perfect.
