LG Optimus 3D Officially Announced

| |


LG has grabbed attention of tech enthusiasts with its latest addition to the popular Optimus
series of smartphones. The recently launched Optimus 2X can do nothing but weep at having
lost its flagship status. The Optimus 3D is now the latest and greatest offering from the Korean
company.


According to the press release, the device boasts of a Tri-Dual configuration: dual-core, dual-
channel, and dual-memory, that is. Of course, the most important aspect of the phone is its
ability to deliver 3D stereoscopic content without the need for glasses. The display has a real-
estate of 4.3", capable of 1080p output in 2D and up to 720p in 3D. The phone's software
offers real-time conversion of 2D photos and videos into 3D. The phone is DLNA certified, and
an HDMI port is also present. Although the press release doesn't give many details about the CPU and RAM, it is expected to be a dual-core 1 GHz ARM Cortex A9 processor, coupled with a PowerVR SGX540 GPU. The phone will also have a 3D augmented reality browser, developed
in collaboration with Wikitude. Looking at the hype surrounding 3D, this device will probably get a good response. Although
the Galaxy S II from another Korean manufacturer packs in more power, the 3D gimmick may
prove to be the decisive factor. The Optimus 3D will be available in Europe first, and then in more than 60 markets around the
world over the next several weeks.
