The LG Optimus 2X holds the Guinness Book of Records recognition for being the first dual-core smartphone. It was initially criticized by reviewers for having poor system software with no official update to Android 2.3 being available for a long time.
However, the advantage of Android is that it allows complete control over the device. A simple Google search will find instructions on how to root your Optimus 2X and enable you to install an unofficial Gingerbread ROM which will drastically improve the phone’s performance, with an increase in battery life being especially noticeable. With one of the many custom Gingerbread ROMs available online, the Optimus 2X will be able to take you through a full day’s use without a problem, even with heavy use.
These simple procedures will unlock the true power of the dual core processor. The best part is that it is all legal because Android is open source, which means that anyone can modify and redistribute it free of charge.
