LG Electronics announced the LG Optimus 3D smartphone (model P920), LG's first 3D phone equipped with a dual 5-megapixel lens camera which allows you to capture 3D images and record 3D video on the go, whilst glasses are not necessary to view 3D content. Not only can you shoot and view in 3D with the Optimus 3D, but you can share content anytime, anywhere via an HDMI 1.4 connection on 3D TVs and monitors as well as upload and stream on YouTube's 3D channel, all directly from your phone. To make the 3D experience even fuller and immersive, there is also a bright 4.3-inch WVGA screen which is great for viewing 3D (and 2D) content and users can also navigate through the phone's 3D interface with a unique 3D Hot Key, which presents five 3D-dedicated UIs including Gallery, Camera, Games & Apps, YouTube 3D and 3D Guide.
The Optimus 3D offers four times more video decoders than competing designs and doubles the graphics performance of its nearest competitor. The Optimus 3D uses LG's unique 'Tri-Dual' technology, utilising dual-core, dual-channel and dual-memory, meaning unlike other dual-core smart phones, the LG Optimus 3D also offers significant performance benefits as a result of the faster transfer of data between the dual-core and dual-memory. This means you can browse web pages, multitask between programs, play games at a higher frame rate and enjoy movies more smoothly than ever before.
