LG Optimus 3D is one of the first handheld gadgets equipped with 3D technology. The first known handheld gadget with 3D displays will be the Nintendo 3DS and it has become a major hit in its birthplace, Japan. Currently, there are only two 3D smartphones in the world, LG Optimus 3D and HTC Evo 3D. However, how reliable is the 3D displays of this Android smartphone?
Compared to the Nintendo 3DS, the developers of this phone have done quite a great job and those who never saw 3D displays before will surely be amazed with what the LG Optimus 3D is capable of. This smartphone utilises the parallax barrier technology that enable you to see 3D displays without using special glasses, but it also brings limitation. The 3D displays can only be enjoyed if you see the screen at the right angle. This spells ‘single-user experience’, because anyone around you can only see double images, not 3D images like you are seeing.
Even though the 3D capability is still quite limited, it is still a great joy to the users. The 3D technology is not only available for displays; you can also capture 3D videos using this smartphone. This is because LG Optimus 3D is equipped with two 5 megapixel cameras at the back to enable this feature. You can also capture full HD videos using this phone. However, you can only capture full HD videos in 2D mode. The ability of the smartphone to capture 3D videos is only at 720p but it is still in HD.
However, the main flaw of the phone will be its short battery life. You will probably need to recharge this smartphone after less of a day’s usage and it can be sooner if you use the phone extensively. If you use the 3D mode of the phone all day, it will of course dry out the battery’s juice faster. Therefore, you will need to always bring a backup charger everywhere you go.
The internal memory is quite high at 8GB and you can always upgrade the storage capacity by utilizing the MicroSD expansion slot. Some other functions available are Bluetooth, Wifi, and also touchscreen. LG Optimus 3D is quite light for its build (less than 200 grams) and it has already been marketed all over the globe. If you want to be one of the first people in the world with a 3D smartphone, you can get your hands on LG Optimus 3D because it is totally worth it.
