Dual core smartphone powered by Tegra 2

Powered by the Nvidia Tegra 2 mobile dual core cpu, LG says the smartphone offers 'clear performance improvements' in web browsing and gaming over single core smartphones running at the same speed. It features multitasking between applications, instantaneous touch response and vivid graphics. According to Dr Jong-seok Park, president and ceo of LG Mobile Communications, the integration of enhanced speed, advanced graphics and features such as High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) mirroring have been made to target the European market. HDMI mirroring allows content on the phone to be viewed on larger tvs or pc monitors with a single cable. "With the Optimus 2X, we're setting the tone for what will be a huge year for LG's smartphones in Europe and worldwide," said Dr Park. LG says it is the first mobile device to feature 7.1 multi channel virtual surround sound, while file sharing is made easier with Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) connectivity, which lets users transfer stored content to and from compatible digital devices. "The LG Optimus 2X with the Tegra 2 mobile super chip is ushering in a new era of mobile computing," added Michael Rayfield, general manager of Nvidia's mobile business. "We're proud of partnering with LG, one of the world's leading mobile brands, to create a device that consumers look to as their computer first and phone second."
