T-Mobile G2x Accessories

The G2x, known as the LG Optimus 2X across the pond, is the newest entry into T-Mobile’s extremely popular G-series of smartphones. The most exciting feature on this phone, and the aspect that distinguishes it from most cell phones, is the NVidia dual-core Tegra 2 processor. This horsepower together with 512 MB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory (ROM) results in powerful performance and a feature set unlike anything else on the market. In addition to the built-in storage, the phone supports memory expansion via microSD/SDHC cards up to 32 GB in size. Compared to the G2 and G1, the one notable omission is the physical QWERTY keyboard. While it’s sad to see this feature go, this compromise allowed T-Mobile to add the 4.0-inch screen. This high-quality display is an LED-backlit IPS-LCD capacitive touchscreen that offers 480x800 resolution, 16 million-plus colors, multi-touch, a light sensor and a proximity sensor. The last version in this series had similar features and quality but only 3.7 inches of screen real estate. That added space makes the G2x smartphone far easier to read and surf than earlier editions were. The additional space also opened up room for T-Mobile to upgrade the camera configuration, which was a feature sorely in need of an improvement. In the G2x, we get a pair of cameras: an 8-MP rear-facing camera and a 1.3-MP front-facing camera. The front-facing camera is simple but quality is high enough to make it perfect for video chats and profile snapshots. The 8-MP primary is a sophisticated camera with advanced features, such as LED flash, auto-focus and the ability to record in 720p HD. Placement of the camera, HDMI ports and headphone jacks is perfect. Like the G1 and the G2 before it, T-Mobile has also ensured a wide array of T-Mobile G2x accessories. The most popular T-Mobile G2x accessories are likely those that take advantage of the superior Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR implementation. For instance, the many deluxe Bluetooth headsets give users a way to use their smartphone hands-free while driving, walking around town or even at home or in the office.

Today, most automobiles have built-in support for Bluetooth-capable smartphones, but if yours doesn’t, you can augment it with a Bluetooth car kit for the T-Mobile G2x. In the box, T-Mobile includes a 1500mAh battery and a high-quality AC wall charger. The battery provides about 8 hours of talk time, but most users will be pushing their smartphone much harder than that. For them, we recommend an extended-life battery, which is one of the many T-Mobile G2x accessories that extend battery-life. We also recommend a portable or travel charger. While the wall charger is the most efficient way to charge your G2x, it’s not always convenient. A USB charger lets you charger the phone on the road or in the hotel room, and if your car doesn’t have USB ports, a cigarette lighter adapter will do the trick. Finally, T-Mobile has ensured an excellent selection of docking stations for use in both automobiles and homes and offices. Automobile docking stations are even more convenient that simple Bluetooth connections because they give you access to the touchscreen, which makes the phone far more usable as a GPS. Desk-based docking stations are the best way to connect to your computer because you only have to make the connection once. Then, whenever you seat the G2x, it automatically begins to charge and it auto-magically creates a data connection to the PC.
