ROQ Mobile: LG announces two revolutionary new smartphones.

If you're a ROQ frequenter, by now you'll know that we've been speaking of LG's new flagship smartphone for months.  The Optimus 2X is the most revolutionary piece of mobile hardware to come along in a year.  Featuring the first ever Tegra 2 processor in a mobile device, LG's highest end product now officially will be running on a dual-core processor!  Clocked at 1 GHz, this behemoth should be leaving all other smartphones in the dust behind it, while being able to decode full 1080P high definition and play it back on your TV over it's built-in HDMI output.  The 2X features an 8 MP rear facing camera, and 1.3 MP cam forward facing.  Don't forget about storage, as this phone boasts plenty of it at 8 GB of internal, with 32 GB expandable.

While you're in the mood for a revolution, LG also released the Optimus Black, to bring their company back into your good graces.  With a phone like the 2X, how can the Black measure up?  This handset features LG's new "NOVA" display, a super-bright screen format designed to compete with the iPhone and Samsung brands.  So how does it hold up to the competition?  Relatively speaking, brightness is measured in nits, where Samsung's AMOLED screen has a brightness of 300 nits, iPhone at 500, but both are dwarfed at the amazing 700 nits of brightness from this new NOVA display.  Worried how LG is going to be pumping out all of this brightness from your little battery?  Don't be.  The NOVA display is not only brighter, but uses around half of the power when displaying white on the screen, which is the primary color scheme for most websites, browser GUI, and programs.  Other specs include the world's first 2 MP front-facing camera, a 5 MP rear-facing camera, 1 Ghz OMAP processor (Used in most high-end current devices), and 2GB of internal storage.

Common ground among the cellular devices comes along when you mention that they both run on Android's 2.2 version software, while being "upgradeable" to Gingerbread (2.3) software.  No plans to release these devices state-side as of yet, but expect that to change as hype explodes on these devices.
