Description

The LG Optimus 2X is the first smartphone to run on a dual-core 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor. It has a well-sized display measuring 4 inches, large enough for you to watch the videos you made in HD 1080p. A 1500mAh battery powers the model which will include a microSD slot to expand storage capacity. The device runs Android 2.2 with an upgrade to Android 2.3 expected eventually.

This device is also known as LG Optimus Star, LG Star, LG OPTIMUS SPEED, LG P990

Better than Samsungs
Phone owned for more than a year

After a year and a half of using it, I wouldn't mind sticking with it for another year or two, however its a shame LG is taking so long to update their software. Call quality isn't perfect but is decent enough. Although the phone feels sturdy, most of the paint around the sides of the phone have scratched off and even chipped. Sometimes signal drops and the phone has to be restarted to get it to work again. Overall, a better phone compared to Samsung.

Superphone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phone owned for less than a year

Everything works perfectly and I have no problems during work. Connectivity and Multimedia at the top level with Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, DLNA, microUSB and microHDMI connections. The processor is a 1 GHz dual-core 2 a Tegra ULP GeForce graphics. The speed is incredible and the camera excellent. OS is Android 2.2 (but I am upgraded to Android 2.3.4). Now wait for the official Android ICS upgrade in the hope that it will be much better than the previous version of Android OS on my smartphone.
