What Makes A Smart Phone A Genius Phone? So, what’s the difference between just being smart to being a genius? There's an immense variance between being really bright and being intellectually gifted. While geniuses do tend to be extraordinarily intelligent, they also use imagination and creativity to conceive, realize or envisage something unique. They blaze new trails instead of just trudging down the beaten path. For the genius, the ability to imagine new possibilities is as important as intelligence. Great geniuses in world history are central to our advancements in science, technology and understanding. Without geniuses from Archimedes to Stephen Hawking, our understanding of mathematics, literature and music would be completely different. Concepts that we now take for granted, like gravity, planetary orbits and black holes, might still be undiscovered. In the same way, the LG Optimus cell phone is a concept – a genius prototype of the way mobile phones will be built and used in the near future. On The Cellular Level The telephone is a good way to talk to people without having to offer them a drink. (Fran Lebowitz) It’s a fact that form and function are significant factors when buying a cell phone but performance is the most decisive dynamic to be considered. Never forget that a cell phone is only as good as the calls it makes. Thus, even if your handset has the best attributes but can’t make or take a single decent quality call, it’s virtually useless. Even the snatchers in Quiapo and Arranque won’t spend a New York minute trying to filch your phone. While it’s true that the strength of a carrier's network is critical to making good calls, the strength of the phone's antenna and receiver play a big part in performance as well. The fact is, you are buying a cell phone so it follows that at its very core, your handset should serve its one true purpose – call the guy at the other receiving end. So, for form, function and performance, who you gonna call? No -- not The GBs – call the Optimus, and you’ll discover that it doesn’t scrimp on the most basic function of any cell phone. If you know the name and if you know the number, you can spend all your unli time talking until your jaw hurts because the LG Optimus cell phone’s 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery can last for up to 400 hours of stand-by or up to 7 hours and 50 minutes of talk time. You don’t even have to lift a finger to do it – with built-in voice dialing, your command is the phone’s wish. When the time comes when every one of your friends and family members eventually catch up with you in the 3G trend, you’ll be ready to make true video calls with the phone’s 1.3 MP secondary front-facing camera which you can use for high quality video chats. Additionally, I like the text messaging service’s threaded view. I do most of my communication via SMS and having this feature in the Optimus lessens the confusion of piecing together an ongoing SMS conversation especially if you’re discussing various issues with several people. Add a proximity sensor feature (so my phone knows if I’m nearby so it can rest and save energy while I’m away), an accelerometer and a gyroscope, and the LG Optimus becomes one handy BFF (best fone forever). The Fast and The Nitrous There's a way to do it better - find it. Thomas A. Edison The LG Optimus 2X uses NVIDIA’s Next Generation Tegra, the world’s first processor for the mobile web, specifically designed for the high-resolution needs of tablets. According to the NVIDIA website, Tim Bajarin, President of Creative Strategies, Inc. said, “The new NVIDIA Tegra processor has a unique feature set critical for tablets -- fast web browsing with fully rendered pages, uncompromised graphics, snappy user interface and HD video -- all with the battery life we’ve only seen with cell phones.” The key to the Tegra’s capabilities are eight independent processors, including the world’s first dual core CPU for mobile applications. These processors are used together or independently to optimize power usage at all times. With its ultra low-power design, Tegra delivers over 16 hours of HD video or 140 hours of music -- on a single charge. The Next Generation Tegra is a leap in mobile computing performance for the following reasons: The world’s first Dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, ULP GeForce GPU, Tegra 2 chipset. Eight independent processors that make short work of web browsing, HD video encode and decode and mobile 3D gaming. 10x faster than the processors used in smart phones today, and up to 4x the performance of the previous generation Tegra processor. Advanced TSMC 40nm process with active power management. The series emphasizes low power consumption and high performance for playing audio and video. At a maximum CPU clock rate 1.2 GHz (dual-core), it's just .6 GHz short of the dual core PC I'm using now, and my computer plays Crysis, Call of Duty - M
