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.

LG LU3000 Optimus Mach has already leaked once, but it’s time for its official premiere. The Android Froyo running handset will hit South Korea any moment, but it’s unclear whether it will reach the rest of the world.

LG Optimus Mach uses the TI OMAP 3630 platform based on a 1GHz ARM A8 Cortex processor. The recently leaked benchmarks show the platform is quite a performer and in some cases it even outperforms competing 1Ghz custom Cortex A8 chips used on the Apple iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S.

The rest of the specs include a 3.8-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera with HD video recording, all-round connectivity and an HDMI port.

LG has collaborated with Ennio Morricone to bring his music on the Optimus Mach. The handset will pack unique ringtones and some theme songs from famous movies.

LG Optimus Mach is available in black and white and should start selling in South Korea any moment now.

LG is set to release the Optimus 2X in their native South Korea and it looks to be a local branding of the already known LG Star that has leaked on the internet.

The two handsets are pretty much the same, the only differences between them being the product code, SU660 for the Optimus 2X and P990 for the Star, as well as a differently configured array of buttons underneath the screen.

The Optimus 2X should be seeing the light of day within the coming months, meaning it will be going head to head with arch-rival Samsung Nexus S. Speaking of Samsung, check out the video below where the Optimus 2X puts in a very respectable performance compared with the Galaxy S.

South Koreans just got their version of the LG Star officially announced. Dubbed LG SU660 Optimus 2X, the smartphone made its first official appearance on the Asian shores, but the even better news is that its worldwide availability is fast approaching.

Unfortunately LG kept their tradition and revealed next to none of the new handsets specifications. Good thing a preview surfaced the other day and did the job for them.

We did stumble upon a new video though, which showcases the Optimus 2X computing prowess. In case you have been wondering how much of an improvement the dual-core Tegra is over the current best CPUs, you should definitely check it out. The Hummingbird-powered Galaxy S gets a trashing it will not be forgetting anytime soon. While one synthetic benchmark is not necessary too meaningful for the real-life performance, the SU660 Optimus 2X certainly possesses impressive computing skills.
