Ahh, the joy of being an Android fan. With each new announcement comes the knowledge that the latest, greatest Android smartphone will only hold that title for a matter of months, if not weeks. In fact, those who hop aboard the
Nexus S train tomorrow can go to sleep tonight already knowing what the next stop looks like� and the station�s name is Optimus 2X. LG�s upcoming Android phone was just formally announced and though it was hardly a surprise, we can now feast our eyes on a press release that lays out what will soon become baseline specs for Android smartphones. The highlight, of course, is that glorious dual-core Tegra 2 processor. The LG Optimus 2X will launch next month in Korea, with releases in Europe and the rest of Asia to follow. No announcement has been made with regard to pricing or North American availability. Hit the jump for the full press release and prepare to be jealous for at least a week or two, when the next jaw-dropping monster of an Android phone is announced.

SevereDeceitSDIt's not a phone, it's a mini computer that is able to send and receive calls. This is where the technology is going, if you don't like it there is plenty of regular phones out there to choose from...FigureThisOut likes this.12-16-10 07:45 AMLike 1 -

SevereDeceitSDThey will figure it out, technology moves very quickly. Whenever a electronic device is mass produced, it's already outdated. Smartphones are evolving at a fast rate and it's not going to slow down. You either stay with the times or you don't. It's up to you...12-16-10 09:21 AMLike 0 -

Actually that's incorrect, and a Blackberry fed myth. Since the Dual Core processor will not need to run at full rate to process the same information, it will not be working as had and thus cutting the processor use down, and when that goes down the battery life goes up.... And/or you could always use a SetCPU program to cut the processor down to save battery.12-16-10 01:12 PMLike 0 -
