LG has pushed back the date of release of Optimux 2X from its earlier-announced date of January to February. This one month delay is happening after LG had confirmed in December that it planned to release the phone in January.

Online retailer eXpansys says that LG Optimus 2X will start shipping to customers on Monday 21st February, without commenting on the reasons for the delay. The original date was January 24th. Android fans that have been expectantly waiting for the phone will now have to wait one more month before thy can get the phone in their hands.

Optimus 2X is an Android smartphone that will have a SIM free price of about £499. With the hype surrounding the phone only increasing as its launch date nears, it is likely that one or more of the UK networks will pick up this phone to bundle their services with.

What distinguishes Optimus 2X from just about any smartphone, and even from other Android smartphones, is the fact that it was the worlds first dual-core Android smartphone when it was previewed at the last week’s Consumer Electronics Show. LG has packed this phone with 2GHz of pure clock horsepower, and onboard Froyo. The phone features a 4-inch capacitive display, two cameras including a 8 MP rear facing camera and a 1.3 MP webcam, support for 1080 pixel video capture, 3g and WiFi conenctivity, and up to 32GB of storage using MicroSD.

Currently, the phone can be pre-ordered from eXpansys for £499.99. Network subsidized deals, with lower phone prices, are expected to come next month. To keep yourself updated on the phone, and its release, check the blog later!
