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...

Galaxy S2 with stock Android, ext4 file system and Voodoo Sound would be badass device.

      Anonymous, 07 Feb 2011Why isn't the Desire HD mentioned under competition?? As I... moreAre you for real?!? GSMArena to say a HTC phone is good? I suppose you just fell from the moon yesterday to ask such a question ;). The HTC DHD wipes the floor with all those phones listed here as a 'competition' to the LG Optimus 2X and that's without any tweaking. Bigger screen, HTC Sense, XDA community support... what else can you want from a phone? Once it gets 2.3 from HTC, you'll see that even the NS is worse. But hey, for someone calling himself "reviewer" the messed up colors of the AMOLEDs (actualy the only real 'color' there is the black) and the ridiculous viewing angles are more important than the size and clarity of the screen.

        Good review but the phone dissapoints me a little. I'm waiting for the motorola atrix review but i suppose it won't come too soon. And btw,why atrix isn't mentioned as a competitor?

          GPU OF PHONE IS UNDER PERFORMANCE.
          clearly a lacklustre performance.
          1080p videos are very choppy and highly compressed.

            Excellent phone, just one thing, if this had Optimus Black's screen it would have been perfect... at least for me

              People still don't get it that Galaxy S/Nexus S are capped at 55.6FPS or screen refresh rate. Neocore is using very weak OpenGL 1.1, it should be running around 70+ on Galaxy S.

                  It's a bit strange, the review on Engadget showed a lot of software lag, and a lot of software or apps crash!

                    As I bought that phone I expect you to consider it as a fine alternative for atleast 1 more year.

                        Looks like the screen sensitivity is not so good, I've seen too many missing touchs on the UI demo. Any word about that?

                          If this is the benchmark, then I'm impressed.

                          I'm looking forward to what the Galaxy 2 offers. No doubt there will be a couple of surprises though.

                            Audio quality is only average?
                            Below average speaker loudness?
