■ LG Optimus 2x P 990

The first World Dual Core SMARTPHONE

The LG Optimus 2X is one of the first Android phones to boast a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 1GHz processor with an impressive eight-core GeForce graphics processing unit to boot. We're talking top of-the-line hardware in this smartphone, although unfortunately this particular model doesn't support any North American 3G or 4G connectivity. The specs still sound pretty awesome and we expect to see a very quick device, but is LG's customized version of Android 2.2 up to the task? Read on for our full review of the LG Optimus 2X! 

Now P24,990  - Philippine market

PURCHASING AND AVAILABILITY
You can buy the LG Optimus 2X P990 now at Negri Electronics for $698.50 unlocked with no carrier contract.

• Dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 processor and graphics chip
• Great build quality 
• 8MP camera with LED flash
• HDMI mirroring
• Handwriting (Finger-writing) recognition
• Software optimized for the Tegra 2 processor works very nicely
• Great benchmark software results 

 The LG Optimus 2X has a fairly nice and slim size and weight at 63.2x123.9x10.9 millimeters and 139 grams. It comes with LG's flavor of Google Android 2.2.1 and a dual core 32bit NVIDIA Tegra 2 250, along with a 1000MHz CPU with 512MB RAM. In terms of storage it's got 8GB of internal storage and a microSD slot for expansion. The four-inch 480x800 color IPS TFT LCD looks pretty good, and you've also got HDMI video out (the actual full device screen) support and 3.5mm audio jack. For radio bands, you've got GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS900, and UMTS2100. Of course Bluetooth, WLAN, GPS, A-GPS, QuickGPS, Geotagging, FM radio, and an accelerometer are also on board, plus an eight-megapixel camera, auto-focus, flash, front-facing camera, and a 1500mAh removable battery to power it all. The build quality of the device is quite solid, but the battery cover tends to be very difficult to open.

■ Huawei IDEOS X5 and IDEOS X6 – Froyo unleashed

Huawei just revealed the Android-powered Huawei IDEOS X5 and the IDEOS X6, which, along with the U8150 IDEOS we saw last month, should help expand its market share.
The Huawei IDEOS X6 is certainly the more interesting of the two with its large 4.1-inch capacitive touchcreen of WVGA resolution, promising 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, and 512MB of RAM. It runs the latest (so far) version of the Android OS – v.2.2 (Froyo), which means the web browser sports Adobe Flash 10.1 and you can install apps on the memory card. The 10mm thin Huawei IDEOS X6 also features a 5 megapixel autofocus snapper with LED flash and 720p HD video recording, a built-in GPS receiver, HDMI and microUSB ports as well as support for HSPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The device should show up in January 2011 in Hong Kong first but worldwide availability should follow soon after that.

The cheaper Huawei IDEOS X5 will too serve Froyo and will be equipped with a bit smaller, 3.8-inch touchscreen. Like the X6, the X5 will offer all-you-can-eat connectivity and, a 5MP snapper.
