The LG Star has the Google Nexus S dead in its sights and it’s ready for battle. The steady stream of leaked images and videos of the LG Star is a sure-tell sign, LG wants you to rethink that Nexus S purchase and instead hold off for their dual-core powerhouse. With the latest collection of videos surfacing all signs point to the LG Star being named Optimus 2X.
With more than two million units sold worldwide, LG is focused on building out their Optimus brand. The company has managed to leapfrog from one million units sold to two million units in less than a month. New rumors have surfaced hinting that the dual-core Tegra 2 LG Star could be headed down the Optimus path, set to be named the Optimus 2X. Further proof of the name change can be found on YouTube.
A series of videos showing off the LG Optimus 2X playing back 1080P video on a big screen TV, playing Android games on the TV and comparing the web browsing against the iPhone 4 and Galaxy S have surfaced. At this point we’ve seen the LG Star, now the LG Optimus 2X, in several photo shoots and unofficial videos.
Additionally, LG has been very vocal about the Tegra 2 processor, citing 2x faster web browsing and up to 5x faster game performance. Early demos have confirmed these claims and we know Tegra 2 will be the highlight of CES 2011, come January.
It seems as though LG is focused on battling the Samsung Galaxy S with their Optimus line up. The real question now becomes — can the LG Optimus brand compete against the Samsung Galaxy devices? However this plays out you can rest assure it will lead to rapid hardware development and innovative designs for future mobile phones and we couldn’t be more excited.
