LG Optimus 2X review: Double the potential

7 February 2011
Begun the dual-core revolution has. And there’s no scouting time – the offensive starts with the big guns. The LG Optimus 2X is not just counting on the fancy Tegra 2 name to generate the sales – it is a powerful smartphone through and through...

      I've got the 2x for a couple of days now and I'm quite happy with it.
      Screen is big, colorful with a lot of contrast. Design is quite plain, but at least it's not as iphonesque as the galaxy s for ex. Menus are snappy, no lag here, and no "under" sensitive touchscreen problem as mentionned is some reviews. Everything's smooth and fast. Sound (with sennheiser BT headphone) is very good.
      Camera's ok at least if you take it for what it is.

        I've had this phone for a few weeks now.Its nice and fast.
        But the camera is below average.The only reason gsmarena managed to take good pictures is becase they used a tripod,but seriously who carries that around?
        Samsung Galaxy S takes much better pictures and it doesnt even have a led.
        Sound in headphones,not so bad..I actually think the sound is good. :)
        But speaker is below average.

                    Please fix camera samples: some load a different picture, some load completely unrelated picture.

                      they still dont match the Iphone interface and smoothness, it is Samsung hardware in the LG flatscreens so i think they have done something with this phone, Iphone 4 i still the best smartphone on the market. HTC is just putting phone after phone on the market and nothing new they are behind Samsung.

                          Wow! The phones listed are so good that the mediocre iPhone4 was not even posted as a competition. Ladies and gentlemen, these are "real" smart phones!

                            Am I the only one asking themselves, why does the LG UI look so much like the Samsung IU? Is LG to Samsung , as Nissan to Infiniti? hhhhmmmm...

                            Apart from that, I'm getting this phone for sure. All they need to do is the 3G quad band to work on ATT & TMobile.

                                Did you check stereo crosstalk on the updated firmware? Was it any different? Having no stereo sound in headphones is certainly an issue.

                                    I'm sorry but the "Lg Home" is such a shameless rip off of touchwiz it's unreal. Even the keyboard is pretty much identical!

                                        When u hold this phone it feels okay, but when U LOOK AT THE SCREEN
                                        it really feels like waste of space!!! and it always when u use this annoys! do not buy this, an better model is in designers papers already!
