CES: LG Optimus 2X is centerpiece of Nvidia CES talk
Chipmaker Nvidia was giddy about the possibilities of mobile and 3D technologies–two big topics this year at CES 2011–in its keynote address by President and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang at the trade show this afternoon. Among the new additions are its Tegra 2 processor for mobile devices, in-car displays in BMW and Tesla vehicles, and a 3D content-sharing site called 3DVisionLive.
Nvidia’s keynote came just hours after rival Intel took the stage to unveil a lineup of desktop and laptop CPUs powered by its new line of “Sandy Bridge” processors, which do not require a separate graphics chip. That’s enough for most consumers–something that undoubtedly puts pressure on Nvidia to move into new markets.
Huang’s keynote focused primarily upon mobile technologies, like the Iconis Tab tablet computer from Acer, which runs the Android operating system and uses the Tegra 2 dual core 1GHz processor. A series of Tegra 2-related announcements will come out over the course of the week as CES goes on, he said.
LG Optimus 2X: World’s First Tegra 2 Phone [OFFICIAL]
LG just announced the LG Optimus 2X which is not only the world’s first Tegra 2 powered phone, but also an Android Phone- gotta love it.
The dual core processor should make gaming, browsing, apps and everything in between ultra fast and smooth. LG is claiming the clock speed is 1GHz, but I fully expect folks rooting their devices to get a lot more mileage if the Optimus 2X root method comes along quickly.
Running on Android 2.2 you can expect the Optimus 2X to have a 4-inch screen, front (1.3MP) and rear facing (8MP) cameras, 8GB memory, 1,500 mAh battery, HDMI mirroring (WHAT?), and 1080p video.
If by HDMI mirroring they mean you can actually play WHATEVER is on your phone onto whatever HD screen you’re connected… wow. Android lovers with HDMI output have been dying for this feature.
Unfortunately you won’t get it with the Optimus Z, at least any time soon, if you’re in America. The phone launches in Korea in January followed by Europe and Asia.
