LG unveiled the LG Optimus 3D, the company's new smartphone which allows users to record and view 3D content, during the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on February 17, 2011. LG Optimus 3D is the world's first mobile phone capable of recording and showing 3D images and films. There is no need for special 3D glasses.
There are two camera lenses on the back of the handset which capture two views of a favourite scene. These are then played back simultaneously on the Optimus 3D screen with one eye seeing the images captured by one lens and the other the images from the second lens.
LG has announced a partnership with YouTube to allow the Optimus 3D footage to be swiftly uploaded to the web and shared. Similarly, owners of the phone will be able to download 3D footage created by other amateurs to be viewed and enjoyed on the landmark handsets.
Apart from 3D, the phone is very well equipped with Android OS, v2.2 (Froyo), upgradable to v2.3, Dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 proccessor, PowerVR SGX540 GPU, TI OMAP4430, 4.3 inches, 3D LCD capacitive touchscreen, 8 MP camera and 3G data transfer at HSDPA 14.4Mbps, HSUPA 5.76Mbps.
