LG Optimus 2X

I wrote about this phone the last year, where the most important characteristic was to become the first Dual Core processor smartphone on the market.

Talking about the operating system, LG should be careful to ensure an update soon to Android 2.3 because at the release will be shipped with Android 2.2, a step behind their rivals. And there is not a huge difference in the hardware design to risk stay behind few months away of Google.

If you would ask me about three mobile processor makers I might answer with: Nvidia, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments.

For the operating system would it brings, we will have Android 2.2 Froyo with TouchWiz 3.0 interface, perhaps reserving for Gingerbread Samsung rumored Galaxy S2.
