LG's Glasses-Free 3-D Phone Is Pretty Impressive

BARCELONA - Unlike its underwhelming Optimus Pad tablet, LG's Optimus 3D cellphone is rsther than impressive. Its 4.3-inch shade is able of displaying 3-D without the need for a span of 3D glasses.

The Optimus runs Android 2.2 (which is user-upgradeable to 2.3), and the shade runs at 480 x 800 resolution. This is, according to the rsther than wannabe person who wrote the spec-card that accompanies the phone, sufficient for 1080p video. To be fair, this more expected refers to the HDMI-out capability, that will broach 3-D video at 720p and periodic 2-D at 1080p.

3-D images may be prisoner around the span of cameras on the back, only similar to the Optimus Pad, but you can moreover perspective it correct there on the phone. The manifestation functions a lot similar to the Nintendo 3DS, using lens-based cunning to send not similar images to any eye. The outcome is surprisingly convincing, nonetheless it infrequently seems to make the shade appear smaller. While we can turn pensive in a film on an inscription set a couple of feet in front of me, to the border that we dont think about I'm seeking at such a tiny screen, the 3-D manifestation is looked at , rsther than than looked in to . Still, the 3-D-ness is convincing, and it will certainly be great for gaming.

When seeking at the shade from wherever but shut up, it looks similar to a of the newness lenticular postcards from a notable relic gift-shop. This disturbed me for a moment, but it only happens in 3-D mode. When you lapse to normal phone use, the shade looks no not similar from any other.

Like the Optimus Pad, the Optimus 3D is built on a gimmick. And whilst sharpened poor-quality 3-D video might be fun, it's the games that will make or break this device. And my theory is "break:" Android is fragmented sufficient as it is. How many developers are going to make 3-D versions of their games, only for this phone?
