14 DAY TRIAL // LG Optimus 2X, the first smartphone in the world to have been launched on the market with a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 chip inside, is now in stock and available for purchase via Expansys in the UK.
The smartphone sports a price tag of £449.99 (around $720) at this retailer, a little lower than the $800 price tag it was initially said to sport.
The LG Optimus 2X is being sold SIM free and unlocked, though it was also put on sale in the UK via various carriers with different contract options added into the mix.
The new device runs under Google's Android 2.2 Froyo operating system, though it should receive an update to the newer Android 2.3 Gingerbread platform in the near future.
“As the world's first dual core smartphone, the LG Optimus 2X sets a new benchmark in performance. Everything underneath your fingers is fast and smooth, no matter how hard you push the Optimus 2X,” Expansys notes on its website.
“The NVIDIA 1GHz Tegra2 dual core processor makes everything, from navigating the Android operating system to browsing the web and application multitasking, work with impressive speed and virtually no lag.”
The specifications list of this device would include a 4-inch touchscreen display that can deliver a 800 x 480 pixels resolution, as well as support for 16 million colors.
Moreover, the LG Optimus 2X comes with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with auto focus, LED flash, and support for 1080p HD video recording, as well as a 1.3-megapixel camera on the front for video calling.
The smartphone comes to the market with 8GB of internal memory, which is complemented by a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space.
The new device would also include support for Wi-Fi connectivity, as well as Bluetooth support, 3G capabilities, DLNA wireless technology, built-in GPS receiver, and a 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery for extended usage time.
