LG Optimus 2X goes official with 1080p video recording

LG is such a tease it took a few leaks and a sort-of-official announcement, but it is finally confirming some of the specs for the LG Optimus 2X dual-core Tegra 2 at 1GHz, 1080p video recording and Froyo are a go, but some other specs are still missing.

In Tuesday, while announcing the LG Optimus Mach LU3000, LG made a veiled mention of the LG Optimus 2X. Now, they have issued a proper press release confirming the most exciting parts of the rumored specs.

The LG Optimus 2X will be the first Tegra2-powered GSM smartphone ever and the dual-core Cortex A9 really showed in early benchmarks. The NVIDIA SoC also enables Full HD (1080p) playback andrecording via the 8MP primary camera.

The HDMI port on the Optimus 2X can output Full HD video and with DLNA support you can play video on a compliant TV without a cable or alternatively pull video from a home DLNA server.

Other confirmed specs include a 4-inch WVGA screen, a secondary 1.3MP video-call camera, some 8 gigs worth of storage, a microSD card slot and a 1500mAh battery. Hoping that the Tegra 2 in the LG Optimus 2X is not twice as power-hungry as single-core CPUs.
