We got a quick tip from LG Philippines that their new flagship smartphone superphone, the LG Optimus 2X, will be released in the Philippines next month.
LG did not give an exact date but they’re already preparing for the big launch this May 2011. The Optimus 2X is among the very few dual-core smartphones to be available in the market soon.
LG Optimus 2X (LG P990)
4.0″ display @ 480×800 pixels
ARM Cortex A9 1.0GHz dual-core processor (Tegra 2)
up to 32GB via microSD
3G/HSDPA
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
8MP autofocus camera w/ LED Flash
1.3MP secondary front-facing camera
GPS w/ aGPS support
HDMI port
1500mAh Li-Ion battery
Android 2.2 Froyo
It’s still not clear if they will upgrade it to Gingerbread out of the box or it will go thru OTA. They’re also mum about the suggested retail price. For now, at least we can expect something in a couple of weeks.
Interestingly, Samsung is also set to release the Galaxy S2 next month. That should be an interesting battle between the two.
I have the phone, Bought it in Ebay for 25 k plus tax.
@emignatius–freezing? So far di pa sya naghang or nagfreeze. Very fast phone lalo na sa Internet browsing.
My only major issue is the battery. Bilis kumain at madrain. At one time pala nagcharge ako while surfing nagblack ang screen. But nothing of that sort na you have to take out the battery. A simple restart will do.
The performance so far goes beyond expectation. It has a nice music player, nice sound, blazing fast application processing, nice video applications. It handles Flash well.
Pangit lang ang manual since it’s my first Android phone, kailangan pa akong magresearch sa Internet for things like removing messages, transferring contacts, etc
Ok na yung Ram nya even if magupgrade pa sa 2.3 Gingerbread kasi the phone applications naman don’t use that big a memory at it’s not like a computer na magmumultitask ka ng sobra sobra
I think kaya nagblack yung screen while surfing is according to the manual , some operations may not work when you hook it up with a usb, transfer files while charging . Mea culpa. My fault.
And when you transfer contacts from the SIM at you turn off the SIM contact display… you have to restart for it to take effect

Any ROMS available for the device yet?
i wasn’t referring to the phone applications or multitasking..pag naupdate kasi sya yung processes na nagrurun sa background is mas malaki kinakain na memory compared sa version 2.2.. ^_^ just like sa case ng samsung galaxy s.. anyway is your unit running on 2.3 already?

magkano to?
i think its better than the iphone
i love andriod phones
isn’t the Samsung Galaxy s 2 coming out sa august pa daw?
But it would be nice if it came out this month along side the optimus 2x, may point of comparison agad.
Ang sakin lang, since this the first ever dual-core phone that has come out, malaki ang chance na hilaw pa siya. And i think kaya agad ni-release toh ng LG is para maunahan ang Samsung, HTC, Motorola, etc sa Superphone market.
Not saying it’d be a disappointment right away but tulad ng sabi ni csseyah, good decision ang maghintay
