LG Announces Smartphones With Dual-core Processor



LG Electronics on Tuesday announced a new series of smartphones with next-generation dual-core processors, which should provide a big leap in performance while maintaining device battery life.
LG's new Optimus line will include smartphones running on Nvidia's Tegra 2 dual-core chips, which will also allow handsets to play 1080p high-definition video, LG said in a statement.
Most of today's smartphones come with single-core processors and are capable of playing only 720p resolution video. Beyond full HD support, dual-core processors could enable smartphones to run more demanding applications like videoconferencing.
The Optimus smartphones will "debut" in the fourth quarter of this year, the company said in a statement. The company did not specify when the phones would be generally available for purchase. LINK
