LG has been taking careful steps when they started to explore the Android world. Unfortunately, that was where it faltered, being unable to keep up with the competition. In 2010, the company did not have much to show, with just a few devices that did not make much of an impression. Faced with the threat of getting ousted even on the Android platform, the Korean company took on a more aggressive approach in 2011, charging head on into experimental territory. This includes their first dual-core smartphone, the LG Optimus 2X, a new display technology on their LG Optimus Black, and bringing 3D technology to the mobile market with the LG Optimus 3D.
Sounds pretty exciting for consumers, but here's the catch - these LG devices will be launched with Android 2.2. Fret not, LG has promised an Android 2.3 update to these three devices at a later date. So if you are not too concerned with an earlier Android version and eager to experience the dual-core speeds or 3D content on these LG devices, here are some of the key features of these LG devices.
For a quick glance at the specifications, here's a comparison between the Android 2.3 lineup under LG's wings.
LG Devices Receiving Google Android 2.3 Update
LG Optimus 2X Powered by NVIDIA's Tegra 2 chip and loaded with Android 2.2 (with an upcoming update to 2.3), the LG Optimus 2X also offers 1080p video recording or playback through either its 4.0-inch WVGA screen or via HDMI-out. As it stands, the Optimus 2X is LG's call to arms against its competitors, bringing dual-core CPU performance on the mobile platform. In other words, the Optimus 2X holds much potential as a high performance device. All it needs, is the right apps to harness and showcase its processing prowess. At the same time, we also hope for a newer firmware to make it a more power efficient device. Device Availability: March 2011 Android 2.3 Update Availability: TBC |

LG Optimus Black It's not easy to create a phone that looks as good as it performs. The Optimus Black represents the company's continued focus on design excellence. Its unique selling point lies with its slim profile that measures in the range of 6mm to 9.2mm, thanks to the tapered edge along the borders. This does give the impression that the Optimus Black is thinner than it re. Visual performance also takes center stage with its 4-inch display with improved brightness thanks to its Nova display.
