For some people, 3D is just a gimmick that is worth little more than the odd look. It definitely has no place on a mobile phones. LG, however, thinks differently. The new Optimus 3D is not really the first 3D phone - the Spice M-67 offered 3D without glasses almost a year ago -but it certainly is the most muscular handheld device we have seen offering 3D. It is bulky (11.9mm thick) and at a hefty 168 grams, is not the lightest phone in town. Although built mainly of plastic, it feels solid to hold.
The front is dominated by the large 4.3 inch display with four touch keys for menu, home, back and search. On the left side are HDMI and micro USB ports and on the right is the volume rocker and a key which many might assume is a camera key, but is actually the key that lets in the 3D magic. A 3.5 mm audio jack and the screen/power on-off button are on the top of the phone. On the back is the dual 5.0-megapixel camera module with a single LED flash.
Hit that 3D button and you can actually see images and videos floating slightly above and on the display (although you do need to tilt the phone a bit to get the perfect view). Not everything on the phone works in 3D -you can view images and videos, view YouTube videos (the ones that have been shot in 3D) and best of all, play games. LG has bundled four pretty decent 3D games with the handset and we must admit that playing them was a whole lot of fun (whether it was cars flying off the screen in Asphalt 6 or bullets coming right at you in NOVA).
Although too much of either will leave you feeling a bit dizzy (something that is a given with glass-less 3D content). The cameras are not exactly earthshattering when it comes to taking normal pictures but switch to 3D mode, and you will be surprised at what you see, especially if you take long shots -you actually feel as if you can reach out and touch objects. Video in 3D, alas, is not that good and tends to stutter if you are shooting something that is moving a lot, otherwise the videos are relatively good for watching on the phone.
What makes all this really work is the display of the Optimus 3D. At 4.3 inches and 480 x 800 resolution, it is big enough to serve as a decent photo frame and being actually bigger than the Nintendo 3DS, is very good for gaming. Needless to say, it plays a large role in the phone's smartphone avatar too. With a screen that big, browsing the Web, checking mail and social networks, watching films and messing around with apps is a whole lot of fun. Call quality was decent, as was general sound quality.
