T-Mobile G2X

The new T-Mobile G2X is truly a thing of beauty, something so renown that it has guys like Mark Leahey rolling and tossing around at night....

In all honesty however, this phone is dope. With a 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor you are guaranteed speed faster than any other phone on the market as well as a whole new level of multimedia including, but not limited to, gaming, movies, and application interface awesomeness. 


This is an LG produced phone, and is available under the "T-Maybe" service provider with Android 2.2 currently installed as the primary software, upgradeable to 2.3 as it is introduced by the end of the summer. 


"When you hold it in your hands, there is no doubt that the T-Mobile G2X is a premium handset. At 4.9 inches long by 2.5 inches wide by 0.4 inch thick, the G2X features smooth rounded corners and is clad in a matte soft-touch finish on the back, with a seamless piano black face and attractive gun metal gray accents around the sides. At 5 ounces, the G2X also has a certain heft that gives it a solid and luxurious feel in the hand.

To prove the strength of the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor even further, LG has included the Nvidia Tegra Zone app with the phone. The app lets you easily find, purchase, and download games that take advantage of the Nvidia processor. The G2X comes with Nova and Need for Speed Shift, and we have to say that both games performed very well in our initial tests. Graphics were very smooth and we experienced zero lag time during gameplay.

Because of all this power, it's no surprise that the G2X comes equipped with multimedia features galore. It has a Micro-HDMI port so you can hook up the phone to a big-screen television, and with mirroring mode, you can see on the TV whatever is on your phone. If you want to go wireless, the G2X also supports DLNA, a technology that lets you share media on your phone with other DLNA devices wirelessly. The G2X also comes with T-Mobile TV, a T-Mobile service that gives you access to live and on-demand TV." -CNET Reviews

To analyze this phone real quick, I am stoked for the newest model of the G series to be produced by LG, not HTC as before. I personally owned a G1 as it was introduced a few years ago, the first phone to run on Android BTW, and it sucked! The prognosis was that the hardware was built like a rock, but the innards and software was super inconsistent and slow. Although I currently own a Galaxy S, I may choose to upgrade to this in a bit. Super sleek and sexy!
