LG Optimus 2X is the first terminal with a dual core processor built on the Nvidia Tegra 2 platform. The terminal will be launched in January in South Korea/Europe and will represent the "tip of the spear" of those from LG that have been trying to produce for a long time a competitive terminal for the international market. The new LG Optimus 2X will have the following specifications:
- Nvidia Tegra 2 platform with 1Ghz dual-core processor;
- front camera;
- the 8 megapixel camera mounted on the back capable of filming in 1080p format;
- 4 inch capacitive screen;
- TV-out and HDMI ports through which you can transmit video content in 1080p format;
- 8GB capacity;
- Android 2.3 Gingerbread;
- 1500 mAh battery.
This will be the first dual-core smartphone available on the market and it will be very interesting to see what the performance increase will be compared to the old smartphone models, but also how the battery will perform. Practically, this smartphone should be the most powerful on the market and if the people from LG tried their best, it could be a real iPhone killer, and I'm only referring to the iPhone because at the moment it's the best-selling smartphone in world level.
What do you think, does this smartphone stand a chance against the iPhone 4 terminal?
LG Electronics (LG) today announced the release of an exclusive collection of music and ringtones written by movie soundtrack maestro Ennio Morricone. The first such collaboration of its kind, both newly composed pieces as well as a selection from Morricone's legendary oeuvre, including Cinema Paradiso, The Mission and Love Affair, will be included in the collection.
To ensure that the beautiful music is paired with a suitably impressive platform, LG engineers have been hard at work perfecting the audio performance on its latest mobile phones. The exclusive music will be preloaded on LG smartphones starting with the LG Optimus 2X set to debut next month in Europe. LG smartphone users will be able to enjoy a total of 25 of Morricone's creations — 15 ringtones composed specifically for LG and 10 of his best-known tunes from the world of cinema.
Born in Italy, Morricone is one of the most prolific and influential film composers in the world. He has composed and arranged scores for more than 500 films and TV programs over his illustrious career.
"Signore Morricone is one of the best-loved soundtrack composers of all time," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "Reproducing his work with such amazing clarity on the Optimus 2X, gives smartphones a whole new level of respect as the primary device for on-the-go music."
In addition to the collection of 25 ringtones and music, LG plans to develop a range of apps with Morricone-related content such as images and video clips for free downloading from the LG Application Store (www.lgapplication.com) starting next year.
The partnership with Ennio Morricone is part of LG's Mobile Signature Sound Series, which kicked off in 2006 with The Real Group, the award-winning a cappella group from Sweden.
