These days there are records for being the first person to the office, or finding the biggest pebble on your driveway, so let’s not freak out here, but Guinness World Records has indeed confirmed that LG’s Optimus 2x is the world’s first dual-core smartphone.

You and I knew that already, of course — we already reviewed the thing, and confirmed it’s the most powerful phone out there right now. Not dripping with personality, exactly, but for the few applications of a dual-core processor of that caliber (HD video, games), it works like a charm. But how long before a new one comes along and knocks the 2X from the top of the heap? Not long, I’ll wager.
