LG Optimus 2X Hits Guinness World Records


May 11th, 2011 • Related • Filed Under

LG Optimus 2X takes the pride of featuring in the Guinness records for being the first smartphone that runs on dual core processor. It has become the first dual core phone that has been released for the public. There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the phone and finally it is out and people are getting hands on experience of the device.

In the month of December, 2010, LG made the announcement of Optimus 2X. The model number of the phone in the Korean market is SU660 and people over there started buying the phone from 25 January. Thus, it became the first dual core phone to be announced and released and it helped LG to win the record.

It is definitely a proud moment for LG and all the fans of LG phones. It is definitely a big honour to feature in the Guinness World Records and that too for such a vital reason. LG must be praised for that, but it is true that they have rushed a bit and released the device with Android Froyo, when other devices are packing v2.3 Gingerbread and even the latest Honeycomb.

In fact, this is one of the biggest drawbacks of the device, which is coming out more prominently because other manufacturers have brought dual core phones with Gingerbread operating system. The early users might have found Optimus 2X excellent, but not anymore. It is now perhaps looking incomplete and unfinished. The lack of Android Gingerbread is not the only aspect. Apart from that, excessive drainage of battery and several bugs are acting as spoilers. Those who have already got into the LG Optimus 2X deals, they might seriously seek an upgrade. However, the Gingerbread update is about to take place this summer, but many people will opt for other dual core devices that already feature the power of Android v2.3. Being first is good, but this is the that you pay sometimes.

Some highlights of LG Optimus 2X are 4.0 inches IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display, up to 32GB memory, 8 MP camera with LED flash, 1080p@24fps and 720p@30fps video recorder, social network integration and much more.
