The LG Optimus 3D showcases LG's "tri-dual" technology: dual-core, dual-channel and dual-memory. The LG Optimus 3D receives significant performance benefits as a result of the faster transfer of data between the dual-core and dual-memory. This enables users to browse web pages, multitask between programs, play games at a higher frame rate and enjoy movies more smoothly.
Along with a range of other features the LG Optimus 3D also boasts a 3D Hot Key for instant access to the dedicated 3D menus. It also allows users to switch from 3D to 2D or 2D to 3D. However unlike other smartphones the LG Optimus 3D does not have a dedicated camera shutter button, instead users navigate to the camera app and use the virtual button.
The LG Optimus 3D comes with a range of different 3D applications ranging from the latest games to a 3D Gallery. Unlike its competitor the Evo 3D it has a 3D user interface which enables users to navigate through the features in 3D.
The glasses-free 3D effect is generated by a parallax barrier screen.
On the 15th of November LG announced an enhanced version of Gingerbread customized for the Optimus 3D. LG claims it enriches the 3D experience and adds the ability to do 3D video editing.[1]
It is capable of sharing and viewing 3D videos on the large screen, with HDMI 1.4 connection to 3D equipped TVs and monitors and with DLNA Certified compatible products. This allows user to show their own captured 3D content in the widescreen.
The LG Optimus 3D is a direct competitor of the HTC Evo 3D which also has 3D capabilities, although the latter only allows for 2MP in 3D recording mode, as opposed to 3MP for the LG handset.[2]
