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...

    please forget about dual core, and high megapixel sensors, just make a very sensitive low megapixel count sensor (eg 3-5MP) with a good lens.

      Does anyone know, if the international version (P990) also has a Dolby Digital Plus decoder like the Korean version (SU660)?

      I'd like to passthrough 5.1 surround sound to my AV-receiver, like it is possible with the Nokia N8.

      Thanks for infos in advance!

      Best regards

              I think this is more about LG Samsung war. They designed this to be a Galaxy S/S2 killer rather than anything else.

                  3lok, 09 Feb 2011galaxy s gpu powervr sgx540 uses unified shader architectur... moregalaxy S use shared graphic but lg uses dedicated graphic. This is my next phone when my contract for iphone 4 is up. Flash playback alone makes me ditch iphone 5 and go for android. I am also so sick of close nature of iphone.

                    LG should really give up with mobile phones... they just cant keep up with the smart phone market, i work in a mobile phone store and from what i have seen hardly any people are interested in LG these days

                      LG shot themselves in the foot with this 2X when they released info on the Optimus 3D. Better phone and a possible close price range will make me and lots of others choose the 3D over the 2X.

                                This phone looks like a desperate move from LG to regain market, but it looks like they failed again.

                                    Gustobastos, 08 Feb 2011In page 8 it states that the phone does not play mkv files.... moreJuste use mVideoplayer from android market rofl, it's free. And better than android's basic player.
