LG Optimus 3D review: This summer, in 3D

 Introduction

The magical allure of the 3D magic is on a rise but manufacturers can hardly meet the demand for better and cheaper ways of 3D capturing and visualization. And while wearing glasses in the cinema may feel alright, wearing one to watch TV seems like too much to ask for the general public. In the 3D dawn, the consumer world is already looking for revolution. Surely, there are many reasons why the glasses-free 3DTVs can’t enter our homes yet, but luckily you can have such thing in your pocket.

And while the other manufacturers are still thinking on the idea, LG is taking the lead. The first ever mobile phone with 3D display - LG Optimus 3D - was announced back in February on the MWC and it is now available.
As a great move by LG, the Optimus 3D caught the competition off guard .Actually, the Optimus 3D holds so much power right now, that there is barely a phone that can't compete on all levels. Despite its key feature is the 3D screen and camera, it has everything to become a best-seller even without the 3D tricks - starting with the dual-core processor and latest-gen graphics, going through the capable camera and connectivity package, and the snappy Android Froyo (hopefully, soon to be replaced with Gingerbread).

No more teasing, here is the full feature list.
