LG has their eyes set on India. They have announced that the new Dual Core LG Optimus 2X and Optimus 3D will be available in India soon for Rs 30,000($679) and Rs 27,000($611) respecitvely. LG Optimus 2X comes with Dual core processor, 8MP Camera(1080P) on the back and 1.3MP camera on the front, 4 inch display, 512MB RAM, 8GB of internal memory expandable upto 32GB, a 1500mAh battery and an HDMI port so you can mirror all that full HD stuff on your TV. The processor is the 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 and LG is calling it the worlds first dual core phone.
The Optimus Black on the other hand is all about the looks. Its just 9.2mm thick and packs the 4 inch NOVA display which LG says uses 50% less power indoors. Both phones ship with Android 2.2 Froyo, but LG says the Gingerbread update is on its way.
Vishal Chopra, Business Head of Mobile Communication at LG India says 2011 will be the year of smartphones in India and the Optimus range will get 10 more devices in the next six months. Both phones should be in the shops by end of April. We’ll try and get our hands on the 2X, so stay tuned.
