LG launches Optimus X2 smartphone
06 Apr 2011
LG India yesterday entered the smartphone segment in India with the launch of its flagship Android phone Optimus X2. The device is powered by Nvidia's Tegra 2, dual-core processor. Analysts expect the Optimus 2X to be India's first dual-core processor phone at the time it is available around third week of April.
According to analysts, with the launch of 3G services, demand for smartphones is likely to increase.
Meanwhile, LG may be the first to announce the launch of the dual-core phone, often dubbed superphones for their ability to perform several tasks that earlier required a laptop or computer.
But the competition is not sitting idle either and according to sources Sony Ericsson might launch a couple of flagship phones this week. According to Samsung officials the company would bring its flagship Android phones to India on 13 April.
According to LG the India launch coincides with the global launch of Optimus X2. The company further said that Optimus Black, a sleek smartphone with premium design, would be available in India after 15May.
"We hope to set a trend with Optimus 2X launch. When J S Park, LG's global head for cellphone unit, visited India in January, we discussed how we can bring latest products to India without any delays. With X2 we are putting our plan into the practice.
