LG Optimus 2X Brings Dual-core CPU with Android

Well, well. This development has gotten me excited. LG announced today the first smartphone with a dual-core chip, the Optimus 2X. Dual-core phones, which pack more processing power than the current single-core models, are expected to be a major trend for cell phones in 2011.

The Optimus 2X's 1 GHz processor, Nvidia's Tegra 2 chip, enables features like HDMI mirroring, which lets you duplicate whatever's on the phone's 4-inch WVGA display, including games, at full HD resolution on an external screen. It's also said to provide smoother Web browsing and allow multitasking of applications with virtually no screen lag. This new phone to be shipped with on Android 2.2 (Froyo) but will be able to upgrade to 2.3 (Gingerbread).
The phone will launch in Korea in January 2011, with Europe and other parts of Asia "to follow.
