TechTurning: My take on the LG Optimus 2X-borax12 tech turns
Satisfying the ever so increasing thirst for technology fan boys, seems a daunting task at first ,but then out of the blue,there comes a single product of insane tech manifestation that you simply cant resist drooling over .....
pretty hard hitting ain't it.....what! 'the above lines' friends.I officially declared my love for android when things on the android platform grew up to proportions that had easily beaten the **** out of those neatly packed white grapes(could have been apples though)!!!
Lg optimus 2x ,also known as the Lg star,is a major leap in the direction of smartphones(in correct comprehension) rather it is another milestone in the android phone segment.
firstly, this thing can drive horses wild with its speed.Though,the phones in the last 3 years saw a major step up in the processing power both in raw speed and numbers(1 ghz has become a defacto these days,but the things are a bit different here),this beast has a dual core nvidia tegra 2 proccessor.The primary advantage of this processor is to cut down processing time(really didn't have a clue this was the reason)required for switching to and fro between the landscape and portrait mode and allow the viewing of full hd videos.
I know that simple written text doesnt prove this so here is the benchmark result(courtesy zomtech)
The next thing that amazes me ,is its graphics capabilities.With the shift from casual gaming to more serious gaming on the mobile platform,the android phone segment,in particular,is growing really fast these days.
More complex the game gets,more proceesing power and better the gpu it requires and i can confidently say that the gaming on the go is now simply been rewritten by two big names -Andoid and apple.
Lg star/optimus 2x, now housing the nvidia tegra 2 processor has probably the highest gaming capabilities as of now.The tegra 2 HD games now add to the roster of quality games in the android library thus making it comparable to the games on the ios. The gaming experience on the optimus 2x is enhanced by not only the gpu but heir touch sensors as well.They use a touch sensor called the Atmel Maxtouch
Coming to the display,the display is crisp and smooth and extremely good to look at.The resolution of the screen is 480X800 pixels.the size of the display being- 4'' and its a size that totally agree with as i certainly dont want to look like a drab holding the phone near my ears.
Though the display is not in the leagues of those super amoled displays,but a 16 M color TFT.Ah!! i don't care what my display looks in the daylight when i can overpower nations with this device(look at my face don't i look like an android addict).Hey no wait!! this device has an IPS panel (in plane switching )screen ,so yes you can use this device in freaking sunlight too
Talking about the other hardware on board,one thing that comes to my mind is the internal storage.8 gigs of onboard flash storage,now - i support the theory of large internal storage as they are not vulnerable and certainly doesn't force me to buy those extra sd cards .(though i doubt ,other models will have more storage or not.)
The camera is a whopping 8 mp camera with a LED flash and also with full hd recording capabilities(die kony,die danon,die sodac)
with fast phot processing modes like hdr ,bloom ,panaroma and burst mode,Sweet ,eh!!
The design of the phone is sleek and nice.The front is clean and the glass on both the sides is sightly tapered to give it the curvy finish.The back has majority of plastic with the matte finish.A noticeable feature is the metal band that runs from the back to the camera module.the entire phone is housed in a metallic structure to give it the classy look and rigidity
You can also output your display to the big screen via the hdmi port and there is also a cable included in the box.The browser also supports flash and the optimus 2x is the first phone to have gpu accelerated flash that gives the best flash experience on the web .The connectivity options include 3g HSDPA and bluetooth 2.1+ER with the usual wifi b/g/n.(unfortunately no 4g)
So to sum up everything.ITS HOT!!! DAMN HOT!!!.The phone houses some of the most amazing hardware and boasts of the best near-desktop experience in the terms of processing power and number crunching,The phone is definitely a treat for those yearning to have everything on their phone(literally everything).
