Choose The Best Dual-Core Smartphone


There has been a vast evolution in the mobile phone industries over the past few years. For instance, a single core processor running on 1 GHz speed was enough for the smartphone. But now with time and the arrival of the new generation, speeding up the clock-speed further is not enough. It’s an era of dual core CPU’s to give outstanding performance and speed.
Now all the latest smartphones are going dual-core with the enhanced capability of multitasking as well as videoing, the two vital features of the phone. Today smartphones are imitating almost all the PC’s functionality and with that it needs a lot of parallel processing power.

From the current yield of smartphones we have updated a list dual-core smartphones from which you can decide which smartphone will work best for you.

1. Samsung Galaxy S2 : As we came across Samsung Galaxy S2, we decided at first that this phone is going to be in the limelight for long because of its great specs and features. Few months later we also heard about boosting speed from 1GHz to 1.2GHz along with 1 GB of RAM. On moving our mitts over the phone, we concluded that it is as fast as we were hoping.

Specs: 1GB RAM, 16GB storage, 4.3-inch 480 x 800 Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen, 8 MP camera, 1.2GHz dual-core processor.

2. LG Optimus 2X: LG Optimus 2X was crowned for being the first dual-core processor released by Guinness World Record. The device is powered by 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 system-on-a-chip and sporting 512MB of RAM. However, Galaxy S2 beats Optimus 2X both with its features and in real life.

LG Optimus 2X wins Guinness World Record


I would bet that we all at some point have gone through the much lauded Guinness Book of World records and know what it is all about. It’s a book packed with plethora of records for all sorts of things. I have an overwhelmed feeling while saying that LG Optimus 2X smartphone has finally landed itself in the record book. Yes, the smartphone wins this award for being the first mobile phone to use a dual core processor.

So, I was rather enthusiastic and impressed when I came to know that as according to the Guinness World Record, LG Optimus 2X has crowned world’s first ever dual-core processor smartphone.

Although, they mean the first ever commercially released phone, as I know are other dual-core devices as well under development before this. But this was the first and has a record to prove it.

Features:

LG Optimus 2X features a 4-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. It also comes with a brilliant 8 mega-pixel camera with a pixel density of 3264x2448 pixels. Other features includes on-board memory of 8 GB, 512 MB RAM, A-GPS support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE and lots more. LG Optimus 2X is embedded with Android 2.2 Froyo running on dual core 1GHz processor.

Is LG Optimus 2X is the Best???

Frankly speaking, the smartphone needs a lot of help as it is not the best. For instance there is Samsung Galaxy S II which is available and it is mind blowing. Further LG Optimus 2X has lot of competition to face with HTC Sensation which is on the way that not only has a dual core processor but also comes with madly high resolution that already has my mouth watering.
