Last year, LG announced the Optimus 2X and it even earned a place in the Guinness World Records as the world’s first Dual Core Smartphone to officially make it to shelves for the general public. Since then, owners of the smartphone have been left in the dark whether their devices will be treated with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

International users may finally get ICS on their Optimus 2X
