[Q] RAM

Do you think 512MB RAM are enough for the Optimus 3D? And what kind of RAM has the SGS2 for example? Is it ddr1? And is it a big difference with ddr2 ram in the optimus 3d compared with other new smartphones?
The first time i red that the optimus 3d only has 512 mb of ram i thougt this isn't enough for a new smartphone but all i heard till now sounds really good. so what do you think?

+1, also, is 512mb enough to play resource heavy games? (note - i don't necessarily mean 3d games, just lets say the version of dungeon defenders or NOVA thats out in 6 or whenever months time) I don't know much about how much ram games use, all i know is you cant add any more ram to the phone (or any phone for that matter)
Thanks
Ian

it's absolutely enough!!!and it's also dualchannel ram so very fast.

And do you know what kind of ram other highend smartphones have? like the SGS2? And can you compare the ram in smartphones with the ram in pc: ddr2 in the optimus 3d = ddr2 in my pc?

Optimus 3D uses a dual-channel LPDDR2 memory controller. search on google and wikipedia

I know what the Optimus 3D has. I just can't find something for the Galaxy S2 and others ^^

Ah ok i found it. It's also DDR2

Its only fast until you run out of it, filling up 512mb of ram is pretty easy.

Thats what i was afraid of.

Me too and i'm really thinking about changing my order and buy a SGS2. I really prefer the design of the Optimus 3D and the SGS2 would be more than 100 € more expensive for me than the Optimus 3D. But the ram and the camera are two things that are much better on the SGS2. And there is much more activity on the SGS2 board on xda ... i'm not sure but at the moment i think the SGS2 is the better choice!?

512mb are absolutely enough,don't talk without sense do you want to install Crysis?than 512mb are not enough.

I know that it is enough for the next 6 months, maybe for the next year, but are you sure it is enough for new stuff afterwords? and did you compare the videos and pictures of sgs2 and optimus 3d? sry but the quality of the 3d is very bad compared with the sgs2. really don't get me wrong, i would prefer the lg not only because of the much better design, but those are two major things that can't be changed :/
and did you see latest gl benchmarks? why is the sgs2 that much better in the egypt test?

yes all.
You are talking about a pre-production model of Optimus 3D,so you have to wait the final rom.
The gs2 is very powerful but it have:
-gingerbread
-1.2ghz cpu(was 1.0ghz but samsung noticed that wasn't powerful as optimus 3d,so has overclocked it to 1.2ghz)
-final rom
so to compare the two device we have to:
wait 2.3.3 for the 3D,wait the final rom,overlock to 1.2ghz...then compare.

but i think this won't change anything with the quality of the camera.

buy a digital camera

.. your post is +1 for SGS2

I am holding out for the P920, I think that they are aware of the software problems tht they had with the early launch of the P990 and are making sure this baby rocks....

in ever day of delay premier of this phone Im thinking about some other smartphone. Is too long to wait and what is worst is look like lg optimus 3d can playback 3d movies.

Lg optimus one vs lg optimus me

Please users, tell me which phone is better. I wanna buy one of these 2 phones.
I wanna use it mainly for graphics, apps to sd, root, custom roms, and games. Emulators too. Also can someone confirm how is psx4droid, n64oid and nds4droid working?
I documented myself and found that lg optimus one has 2.3, bigger screen, but 600 mhz, and optimus me has 800 mhz.
Plz respond quickly, the offer ends tomorrow, and i'm gonna buy it tomorrow night!

Definetly Optimus One. I didn't find anything about Me CPU, but I storngly believe that it is the same 600 mHz. also Optimus One still does not have oficial 2.3 upgrade, but there ar some custom ROMs. I recommend you Optimus One form these two phones

Get a LG O1,its just great...
Been using it for about a month now running on CM7 overclocked to 768 Max and 600 Min.
Runs like heaven..Plus u got lots of custom roms to choose from...

Comparison
Hi there, I'd like to ask the same Q... What's their processor speed, do they support multitouch, etc.
Which one has a better res. screen, what are your experiences...?
I'd just like to know since there isn't a very decent comparison on the internet...

You can always search google for their specs :/

[Q] Simple Question but...

Hi folks. I have p970 and want to buy 3D max but I have few confusions :
1. Does 3D really works or its just a huss-fuss gimmik?
2. To tell truth I never felt 3D on my laptop using 3D googles and 3D movie except 4-5 seconds.
3. Same at cinema hall, I hardly notice any 3D except few scenes, rest all are departed cyan-red overlapping pictures giving terrible headache and cant enjoy at all.
4. I thought may be just I dont feel 3D but its not like, I saw a 3D show on local museum and I really felt the 3D effect n looked good too., so problem is not in me I guess.
Rest you suggestions.

Okay , I'll be as plain as possible.
3D is great but not on 3D Max nor any device really. 3D is still in it's infancy so there are problems none of which would bother you from the interface but a problem as in a general way.
Parallax Barrier on the screen will cut the pixels in the screen in half. So it looks bad. Imagine playing a game in 3D but with a 640x480 resolution on a PC. When you connect it to a 3D TV it's okay but with parallax it's not.
Lg is notorious for it's software upgrade schedule you probably won't be up to date with your android device without 3rd party roms.
This is a serious issue , it frustrated me a lot.
But in sum you will feel the 3D and it will give you headaches until you get used to it.
3D Camera and Video is really great , especially when you attach it to a TV.
3D Max has a high-end device price tag but if you think about it and research a little bit more , you'll see there are a lot of devices better than 3D max... Some of them even cost less.
3D max is just a little bit upgraded version of Optimus 3D nothing more.
I got a p920 , it's good , fast , efficient (with a good software i might add.) , So is the 3D Max.
Despite everything i just said , i would hang on to my P920 any day.
It's sturdy , really tough to break even the glass part.
I'm guessing 3D max is probably the same.
Hope i helped.
Cheers!

that's well said

Want an advice ? Don't buy LG Anymore.

Thank yu all guys, but main is will I feel 3D or just cyen-red overlapping scenes? And custom ROMs e.g CM, AOKP will give me same 3D effect?

Few more Questions
Did you get ICS update from LG? Or any chance of it?
How much rooting is safe ? One click root or some lengthy process?
No cusotm ROM got 3d working?

3D MAX owners should answer this and so far for 3D MAX there is only 1 custom ROM based on factory Gingerbread.
So don't get confused with P920 because we have 27-30 different ROMS to choose starting from factory FROYO's ending to CM10 betas...

3D today is not based on visible light filters like it was in the 70s. You will not see colours blurring. However, on the phone itself you might see an overlap of the two images (left eye and right eye).
3D glasses for the cinema and TV filter polarised light. The images for each eye are polarised differently. This works very well

Article that includes an Interview with LG about 3D phones

Here's an article that includes an Interview with an LG representative about 3D phones and the O3D: link
It says among other things:
- 1 million+ sales for O3D
- 0,5 million sales for Max (in South Korea only)
LG still believes in 3D, but not for now, but in the coming years.
The article makes all usual mistakes in believing that the O3D came too early. It also mostly only speaks about the 3D screen. (and ignores the much more important 3D camera).
I have made a (lengthy) response, in which I make a case for:
- bad support form LG
- ghost call issues
- phone lacking just the right specs to succeed (too fat, too slow, too little memory)
- people who had / saw the O3D loved the 3D effect
- 3D camera being more important then 3D screen (too small for movies, target audience is not the gaming audience per se)
If you agree, please like my response, or give simular responses.
Since LG was interviewed for this article, they may track it, and the responses.
they may become aware of the terrible support of the O3D, and see that there's still a living society that loves 3D phones, as long as LG supports it!!!

I highly admire what u did ..but o3d is not getting support because 3d is not well known or used over the world ..but in the coming years I believe we will see alot of advance ..
And LG forgot about O3d for now ..
For me its a great device but the lack of speed kills me as I depend on my phone alot in my daily life ..

[Q] In search of the best 3D smartphone

Hi all.
From what I read and also from some friends, I found that LG Optimus 3D Max is supposedly the best one in terms of phone specs and 3D camera (plus it has 2D to 3D Converter as well for the games, etc.)... until recently I heard of Sharp Aquos SH-80F.
Which one is the best?

Can't tell you much about the Aquos except from the fact that it never was a popular phone. As for the O3D Max, I found that it was never officially upgraded from Gingerbread. There is an ICS port here on XDA but it is still buggy. If I were you, I would seriously consider getting its Korean counterpart, the 3D cube (SU870). It has more internal memory and running on ICS. You can find it on AliExpress for the same price as a used P720 or even less (100€-140€).

Does the SU870 able to convert 2D games into 3D games, or we can download that particular software into the Korean version?
