One of the most buzzed about phones here at Mobile World Congress is LG Optimus 3D, the first phone to use the 3D display technology. How black Optimus and Optimus 2 X, which we saw at Mobile World Congress, Optimus 3D is powered by a dual-core processor and a 4.3-inch display. 3D as it appears on a mobile phone? Well, I'm honestly not all that impressed.
3D is slowly becoming more popular in other categories such as TV and cameras, but certainly is not a mainstream technology. Luckily, you don't have to wear glasses goofy to see up to 720 p 3D video on 3D Optimus. The effect, however, is disappointing. Images are not exactly jump at you from the display and the quality is a little grainy and odd looking.
I like the fact that you can create and share 3D content. Optimus 3D has a 5 megapixel camera with dual so you can capture 3D video, upload it to YouTube 3D (LG also announced a partnership with video sharing service from Google) and share with other 3D devices. You can also connect your phone to a 3D TV via the HDMI port. But once again, how many people have 3D TV?
Unfortunately, the phone doesn't ship with the latest version of Android, otherwise known as gingerbread. Also there is a 4 G phone, which is disappointing.
Another strange-and possibly irregular-what I experienced in my practice is that the phone crashed repeatedly. I try and open an application, like for example the 3D Gallery, and the phone would be stopped. I don't know if this is due to the fact that this was a demo and a lot of hands was on it or if it were pre-production and unstable. I tried to use another phone, but that one wouldn't even turn on. When stand LG is less than a lunatic asylum, I'll give it another shot.
