14 DAY TRIAL // LG Optimus 3D, the first smartphone in the world to include 3D capabilities, is expected to arrive on shelves at wireless carrier Three UK in the near future. The wireless carrier went official with plans to make the device available for purchase on its airwaves, but did not unveil specific info on when it would put it on sale.
The new LG Optimus 3D was officially introduced on Monday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, as the first ever smartphone to offer users the possibility to view 3D content on its display without the need of special glasses.
The specifications list of the new smartphone includes a 4.3-inch ‘stereoscopic’ touchscreen display, complemented by a 5-megapixel dual-lens camera that enables users to record 3D content.
The handset also comes with the entire range of features and specs that one would expect from an Android smartphone, while offering users the possibility to enjoy pre-loaded games or 3D content.
The list of main features of this smartphone would include:
- Glasses-free LCD panel for 3D viewing - Record, watch and game - 3D enabling dualcore processor TI OMAP 4 - Full HD 2D (1080p) / 3D (720p) video playback - 4.3” stereoscopic screen - Dual stereoscopic 5MP cameras - Mini HDMI output - You Tube 3D - 3 Pre-loaded games
