The added processing power apparently allows the Optimus 2X to playback 1080p video with no lag on its 4-inch, 800x480 screen, and can supply visuals to larger displays thanks to HDMI mirroring. And you can even use the HDMI connection to play Android games on a larger screen, still using the phone as a controller. Toss in 8 gigabytes of internal storage, along with front and rear cams (8 megapixels and 1.3 megapixels, respectively), and you have yourself a seemingly solid handset.
The Optimus 2X, slated for a 2011 release in Asia and Europe, will ship with Android 2.2 (Froyo), but of course, a 2.3 (Gingerbread) update will follow. There's been no announcement about a U.S. release yet. Specs below:
Key specifications:
1Ghz Dual-core Processor (NVIDIA Tegra 2)
4-inch WVGA screen
8GB memory (up to 32GB via microSD)
1,500 mAh battery
8 megapixel rear camera and 1.3 megapixel front camera
HDMI mirroring
1080p MPEG-4/H.264 playback and recording

i'm holding out for the deca-core.
awesome, i love it! i wish i ahd one...
A dual core in a phone? At least it doesn't do the talking for you... yet.
Soon enough they really will be androids! Is that R2D2 in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
nice...i want one...
Wow. I wish I could afford one of these boys.
I'll be up for a trade in at the end of the month. I want a smart phone... I want THIS smart phone.
I need to get one of these
all this crap and they still dont include ATSC tuners lol. cool post.
nice i need one!
oh i need new phone and that seems nice
That phone is beautiful, definitely looks like a good alternative to the oh so dull iPhone.
shit yeah i need to get this
Dual core, that's pretty sweet.
why would you need to watch 1080p videos on that small screen? It's just going to get scaled down to the native resolution anyway.
Oh wow, I'm sure that'll cost a pretty penny.
Wow, that is impressive. It is exciting to see where things are going.
It was only a matter of time.
Hell, I just got a new phone and its already outdated.
Wonder what the battery life's like in use.
I could get rid of my iphone for that. I mean, the geek cred alone...
