World's First 3D Mobile Phone Unveiled By LG

The Details

1). DUAL CAMERAS:The Optimus 3D can shoot 1080p 2D video, 720p 3D video and five-meg 3D stills

2). Mini HDMI
Blurts the 3D footage you've taken into your 3D TV, in 720p HD resolution

3). 3D Button
Hit this to access apps, games and other 3D services on the phone

This year, 3D is moving from the big screen to the small. with Nintindo's 3DS-see p32- and now LG's Optimus 3D, "glasses-free autostereoscopy" looks set to be the most difficult-to-spell-and-pronounce buzz phrase of 2011.

The Optimus 3D's spec is a cut above: big, 4.3-inch touchscreen; fast, dual-core processor, HDMI and Android 2.2, with an upgrade to 2.3 impending. It's the 3D that really sets it apart, though. as with the 3DS, the viewing "sweet spot" is narrow, but once your eyes adjust to Asphalt Origins the gaming experience is quite enveloping. The Optimus 3D also captures 720p 3D video and snaps 3D stills on dual five-meg cameras. Best of all, LG's partnership with Youtube means you can access 3D video and upload your own footage.

LG Thrill 4G and HTC HD7S are new phones for AT&T US

AT&T announced today that it will be converting two well-known devices to its lineup and making them 4G-capable. Those are the HTC HD7 and LG Optimus 3D. Keep in mind that in this case 4G refers to HSPA+ 21Mbps, not the real-deal LTE. Still we guess there will be many people willing to buy either.

The two smartphones are also getting new names. HTC HD7 gets an "S" to its name - HTC HD7S. And the LG Optimus 3D will be LG Thrill 4G. Pretty much nothing else is changed.The HD7S has the same 4.3-inch LCD display, 5 megapixel snapper and Windows Phone 7 OS, as highlights. The LG Thrill 4G has the same 4.3-inch stereoscopic display, dual-core 1GHz processor, Android 2.2 and dual 5-megapixel camera with 3D capturing capabilities both in stills and video. The LG features 1080p output regular video and 720p 3D video. With the LG Thrill 4G AT&T will also debut the LG 3D Space, which will have 3D content, such as games, video and images.

It isn't quite sure whether the 3D Space will be a service only through AT&T or it will be available worldwide. HTC's HD7S will be coming in the weeks to follow, while the LG Thrill 4G will be released by AT&T in the months to come. Exact dates aren't given though.
