LG Optimus 2X Review

Here is the FoneArena LG Optimus 2X review. And guess what ? It’s the first time we have reviewed a Dual-Core phone. Until recently LG was loosing ground in the smartphone race but they surprised the world when they announced the world’s first smartphone powered by a Nvidia Tegra2 processor. At CES 2011 , several handset makers announced products based on the Tegra2 but this is the first smartphone or super-smart phone to hit the market. LG needs a nice pat on the back for making the first move. Lets see how the device meets our expectations.
The first thing you would notice about the phone is the huge 4 inch display which has great clarity and color reproduction. The display runs on a 800×480 px resolution. The left and right edges of the display have a minor curve towards the end and its nice to use.

You have a nice metallic bezel running though the sides of the phone which gives it a nice feel.

Although the phone is made of plastic for the most part, it does not feel cheap like other phones like the Samsung Galaxy S.

You have the video calling camera on the top right and lg branding in the center. The earpiece  above the LG  logo. The proximity sensor and ambient light sensor sit on the left.

Below the display are the 4 keys for common operations of the Android OS – Menu, Home, Back and Search

On the top you have the power button / lock key on the right , mini HDMI port in the center and the 3.5 mm audio jack on the left.At the bottom of the phone are a pair of speakers with the microUSB port / charging port in the middle.

The volume rocker is on the right and the left is free.

On the back , what caught our attention was the thin metal strip with the Google branding in the center.The top houses the 8MP camera along with a LED Flash.

Below the battery cover is a 1500 mAh battery, SIM card slot and microSD card slot. While you can access the memory card slot without removing the battery , you cannot access the SIM slot.

The phone is certainly big compared to other devices but since this is the world’s first dual core smartphone , we are not complaining.
