The LG Optimus 2X is the world's first dual core smartphone, which is set to be released in Europe next month.
I am due for an upgrade on the 19th Jan and have no experience of LG smartphones. The specs of the Optimus 2X look impressive (imo) and most reviews about this particular handset have been positive. What are your thoughts on this handset.?
The only downside I can see of this handset is there is no Java but as I am not a game player, this wouldn't bother me.
I am considering making this my next phone.

a) it's LG
b) it's dual core
would concern me on battery life
It might be 750Mhz with one core turned off by default.(Two cores at 750MHz supposedly equals a 1.88 Ghz A8)
Also for 720p video its GPU could use very little power being 1080p capable.
This is very much the chipset that all thr pundits thought the iPad had.
Samsungs strange move to Tegra 2 for tablets might just mean iPad 2 will use it too.
Its android so thats a meaningless spec. This phone will run any of the android apps, including games
Nexus S seems very outdated already compared to the dual core LG. Also, the hardware is based on the Galaxy S and I have read thousands of complaints about the GPS functionality of that handset being utter pants.
Quality is a certainly perception thing which is why the lower tech(screen) Wildfire is well rated.
I'm not quite sure if buying from the mobile company direct puts on loads of extra crapware.
However, I've never owned an LG so have no experience of the camera quality. Anyone care to comment?
However, I'm thinking things will have changed as now they use Android instead of their own dodgy software and the phones are a lot better hardware wise. I'm just not too sure about the skin they've applied to Android - it looks rather childish like Samsung]

No. The Optimus 2X was codenamed LG Star. The LG B is a complete different handset. So say's this article.
