Between the EVO 3D and the Optimus 3D/LG Thrill, which has the better 3D quality?
I'm not talking about 3D camera quality, I'm talking purely about how the 3D looks on the screen. I've probably seen an equal amount of answers going for one or the other, so I figured I'd go and ask specifically. Yes, I realize asking here I'll probably get a biased answer, but I'm hoping that somebody here has used an EVO 3D for more than a few seconds and can comment.
Reason I ask is because I'm basically deciding between getting a $600+ Galaxy Note and a ~$200 EVO 3D (one with a bad ESN) or a $300-$400 Optimus 3D and some 7" tablet down the line. If the difference isn't that huge, then I'd probably rather go for the first option partially since Otterbox makes cases for the EVO 3D.
okay. so if you are playing games in 3d or watching movies in 3d then both devices are gonna look equally great. the difference is if you are viewing images or videos you have taken with either device. in this case the lg optimus 3d will look much better... why? because the cameras have a greater distance apart between them then the evo 3d. the closer it is to the distance our eyes are actually apart the better the effect and the easier on the eyes.

So what you're saying is that the 3D effect is basically the same - as in, watching the same 3D movie on each phone, there wouldn't be much of a difference? Again, I'm not talking about 3D camera quality (I'll be getting a Fuji W3 for that, which I know far outclasses either device), I'm mainly concerned about the actual 3D screen quality/effect.
Viewing 3D video & photo on on both are most the same (using other media files). But if u r taking video or photo from both devices and viewing together, O3D will be much better as Camera hardware were installed differently.

Alright, thanks for the info.
So another related question - other than the better 3D camera, better 3D apps (like the specific 3D Youtube app), and better specs, is there anything else the O3D has over the Evo 3D? And speaking of specs, is there anything other than high-end gaming that the O3D's better CPU/RAM will do noticeably better than the Evo 3D? Don't try and sell me that it'll be smoother, because my 800Mhz single-core G2 is pretty smooth.
I'm asking because may be considering another phone instead of the Note (the Nokia N9), and figure I should know before I jump on the Evo 3D based mostly on price.
The O3D has a 2D-3D video/image/game converter. Evo3D does not to my knowledge. It is quite nice being able to take a video file that is not 3D and converting it on the fly. Instead of loading actual 3D video files, just use any ol' vid file. Even downloaded web vids. There is also the ability to take a game like Dead Space and play it in 3D. Or Angry Birds and many others. I am not knocking Evo in any way. LG has been engineering their 3D equipment longer than other manufacturers. They have just been in the game longer than htc (who has only one 3D device) and they don't use it on just mobile applications. IMHO LG wins based on its extra features which will come in handy later even if you don't plan on it until later. Hope I helped. ;-)

Eh, I've seen enough 3D movies to decide that unless it's made in 3D (unlike some 2D movies nowadays that tack on 3D for a cash-in) then I'd rather not bother, and same goes for gaming (had nVidia 3D Vision for a few months and played enough games to see that it's basically hit-or-miss as to whether the 3D effect is worth the inevitable headache I'll get after using 3D for more than 2-3 hours consecutively).
I guess it'll mostly come down to price when I end up buying either a month or so from now - if the O3D isn't much more than $100 more (if even that) then I'll go and buy it, and get the Evo 3D otherwise.

I have 3D Vision on my PC and I know about the hit-or-miss thing with some games in 3D. However this doesn't occur with the O3D, every game (if it runs at all in 3D) will look very good with the 3D feature, you will just have to worry about lower framerates on some graphically intensive games. It also has settings to change the 3D effect to your liking. The 3D technology used in the O3D is completely different from Nvidia 3D Vision, as it doesn't use active shutter glasses that can cause headaches from extended use.
If you aren't so concerned about performance, then why consider the Galaxy Note? The O3D is pretty close to the Samsung Galaxy S II in terms of performance according to most benchmarks.
As for Evo 3D vs Optimus 3D, I have not used the Evo 3D but I know the Optimus has better 3D software (Game Converter, Youtube 3D App, Video/Photo Playback/Editing), combined with more powerful hardware.
If you want a case similar to the Otterbox for the O3D, there's the Ballistic SG. I use it and can attest to it's quality.
Another note, I have seen some (used) Optimus 3D go for less than $300 on eBay...the Thrill 4G is even cheaper (if you don't need the T-Mobile USA band)

Hmm, that definitely makes me rethink it then, if it really is that good - although I can't say I'm that interested in mobile gaming (compared to watching videos in 3D, at least). I'm mostly interested in performance because one thing my G2 can't do well is play high-res videos.
And I'm interested in the Note for a few reasons, such as the stylus, high screen resolution and quality, and the actual size of it (I'd use a 7" tablet as a phone if I could).
The main reason I wouldn't want to use the O3D as my phone is because the main uses out of it - 3D videos and gaming on the side - would tax the battery a bit; that's why I'm also considering the Nokia N9 as my next phone (for the nice unibody construction, long battery life, smooth/sleek/simple OS, etc.), since then I wouldn't have two similarly sized Android devices with the primary differences being that one makes phone calls and the other does 3D.
Do they make any decent extended batteries for the O3D, particularly ones compatible with any cases? A nice one might make me just go for the O3D alone...
And I'm looking at the O3D over the Thrill particularly for the better official updates and dev community, and the fact that I simply can't buy a device without original packaging/accessories (kinda OCD about that) brings up the price to $350+ for me.

mugen 3400mah with case for o3d ranging from 65-95 usd depending on where you find it. makes your phone last at least 50% more. google it and you will see.Also some japanese 2430mah gold battery that some people say is fake but for my friend it has worked great giving him round 25% more juice and this one is slim standard size so no need for cases...

Managed to find it (it's 3200mAh apparently), but I can't find the case - unless you mean the battery door it comes with. I'm wondering if there's a case that fits with that extended battery door.
In any case, I'm really tempted to get one with that battery now - thanks for the info.
EDIT: Two more question, actually:
-Does the stock Gingerbread update include notification power toggles (as in, pulling down the notification bar and being able to toggle Wifi, 3G, etc.) or is that something in custom ROMs?
-Are there any major problems with the stock ROM? I don't want to deal with the instability of custom ROMs or losing 3D or Bluetooth or something

The phone has notification power toggles ever since first froyo version and yes they are here in gb as well. No major bugs in gb stock. Some people report wifi and network problems (ghostcalls etc) but given that they have been reportin it since froyo versions I guess it something else going on.I have never had any problems at all neither on froyo nor on gb. Phone is really smooth and works as it is supposed to. Battery drains within normal rates for dualcore phone with a 4.2inch screen and in anyway much more resilient than sgsII (which i used to have for 3 weeks or so...)

Now that the evo 3D has been revealed are u still geting the the optimus 3D ?
Hands on review http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-EVO-3D-Hands-on_id17611
Depends what phone makes it to the stores sooner, but I'd prefer the EVO judging from the specs.
960x540 resolution on HTC is the advantage imho

EVO 3D for sure
Well I would get the evolution 3d but sadly no gsm...
So I'll be picking me up an official 3d
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Same size, same weight, but higher res screen.
CPU and GPU seems to be a lot slower, first benchmarks on prototype hardware shows that Tegra 2 is 50% faster.
http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/for...60-smartbench-2011-result-have-been-revealed/
honestly judging from the benchmarks i would prefer the LG. Its sad to see htc lag behind with their qualcomm because they make great products. Just the build quality is amazing with htc. Ive also heard that the new qualcomm chips have signed and locked bootloaders :/. The qualcomm msm8660 and 8260 are both dualcore arm cortex a8 and the .2 overclocked compaired to other dualcores just doesnt make up for the lack of performance and power comsumption gain.
You've got to be kidding. The less than stellar benchmark results are based on 1 benchmark from a prototype? Possibly fake? Let's wait and see what the evo 3d will do.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Joke or not, it looks slow.
Smartbench uses several 2D/3D routines to calculate an index, so it is not one benchmark, it is several ones.
May be fake, we'll see soon enough, CPU should show up in several phones soon.
Another advantage of the Evo 3D is the inter-camera distance, lenses seen to be further apart. Should bring little more depth to objects further away.
Evo 3D looks 3 mm shorther and 3 mm slimmer too. Same weight though.
The slightly bigger battery at 1700mah vs 1500mah needs testing to check the battery times. Maybe the screen needs more juice...
GSM is a big deal for me too; too bad, this is a nice Evo refresh. Also, if you're a fan of Google Voice, the Sprint network has an edge in that dept.
Here are my thoughts on the features of the LG Optimus 3D Vs. HTC Evo 3D:
OS: Like the 2x, the Optimus 3D runs Froyo. An update has been mentioned often by LG & should be released soon after the phones have gone retail. The Evo 3D has the latest update.
CPU: Up for grabs right now, but LG's TI OMAP shows alot of promise. Again, we just met the Evo 3D- still both phones are very fast.
RAM: HTC has twice the RAM @ 1 GIG. Yet, LG's 2x & the 3D are top 5 in most benches w/ only 512. Dual channel or not, I've brought this up before, maybe 512 is enough after all?
Build: HTC probably has a better build- shaped like the stellar Evo, its parts are smooth & has some weight when handled. The previews for LG's 3D & its 2x has been relatively positive. Nothing ground breaking, but conservatively simple & elegant.
Camera: Both are dual 5mp on the backside & I think 1.3mp on the front. The difference is that the Evo has a dedicated shutter button & 2x LED flashes.
UI: LG's UI overlay is rather weak compared to the Sense- but that's a two-edged sword being that so little is in fact added to LG's UI, it's not bloated w/ company widgets, apps, or questionable OS modifications. That's cool or cheap of them, hehe. The new Sense UI IMO, looks great.
Display: HTC has a winner here. LG's screen is great, though just not Samsung, HTC, Apple, "great" where their phones have continually put out awesome displays. The Evo 3D screen is slightly thinner & taller because HTC believes this aspect ratio is the proper size. Both phones are within 4.3 inch category.
Battery: The Optimus 3D has a Li-Ion 1500 mAh while the Evo 3D includes a 1730 mAh battery.
3D: The only negative words about 3D for these phones stem from the public- which do not have access to test these two devices. Which does it better? There are those that care & I hope the media makes a statement on this topic.
Extras: Both phones have HDMI ports, can record 3D in 720p & 2D in 1080p.
IMO, both phones are great devices considering they're first to jump in the 3D market. I'm looking forward to the Optimus- hopefully early spring!

Great comparison! You have to remember something though... all the new htc phones have signed and locked bootloaders.. the evo 3d might come with 2.3 from the get go but the optimus 3d (thrill) will probably have 2.3 custom roms ready to go before its US release because devs in UK. And something else to remember.. rooted and custom rom available phones get updates first. Why the users on evo 3d are waiting for htc to send out a sense based 2.4, people on optimus 3d will already have a stock version custom rom.

I don't understand why these companies don't make their phones compatible on as many carriers as possible, would it hurt htc to make another evo3d that has the same 3g bands as the optimus 3d and would instantly work on att/tmo? I love what samsung did with the original galaxy s line, every single carrier had these phones.

It definitely wouldn't hurt them in terms of customer appreciation or choice but I believe it is a but more complex than that, HTC may have signed some exclusivity deals with Sprint because I have yet to see the device announced for other carriers (correct me if I'm wrong).
Yes it's disappointing to see they did that even though it's just business, I will second guess ever buying from them anymore especially after they made me pay for shipping on the warranty RMA or the fact that the phone broke out of nowhere.

good write-up.
I think the only decision for me is to either choose the optimus 3d for the dual channel memory, or the evo 3d for the qhd display.
Signed bootloader is a no-go, even more if the specs are fantastic like this. Imagine a monster like the EVO 3D and HTC stops updating it after 6 months. Horrible.

How will these Roms work w/ the Evo's or the Optimus' 3D software/hardware? It's a new window for developers & it's unclear what the level of progress will be like. Again, these are the only 2 devices set to effectively be released this year & if you're the minority, & furthermore knowing how the general public are split on the concept of 3D, the community may not adopt to these phones as quickly as we'll like.

Thanks, I have to say though, LG's 3D is no slouch. I know, I know that HTC has a more favorable release history w/ their devices- but look up some videos of the Optimus 3D in action. The screen is very tech worthy. The outer body is nicely rugged to stabilize camera usage & I forgot to mention, that while it lacks a shutter button that's present on the Evo, there is a cool "3D" button on the side of the phone which opens up LG's neat 3D carousel menu. It's very functional!

It all comes down to exclusivity & Sprint has the Evo line locked down. If I recall, upon the official unveiling of the Incredible, it was considered by the press to be the Evo's little brother now in Verizon's camp- it’s certainly different, but the general design (hardware & Sense UI) is similar.
Now a few notable downsides for 3D phones:
1. Power Draw: Battery life should be an issue. For instance, the Optimus G2X & the 3D both are powered at 1500 mAh. Yet comparing normal usage through 3D gaming & viewing 3D videos Vs. that of the G2X... you really need to wonder.
2. Photo & Video Enthusiasts: If video recording & capturing stills is more of a passion to you than the addition of a 3D "experience" on a smart phone; in terms of a 1-2 year investment, this may not be the product for you. Camera lens tech on 3D phones will never be on par or outpace regular 2D phones- I just don't see it happening. A 5MP lens on each the Evo & the Optimus Vs. the 8MP lens mounted on the G2X & an 8.1MP listed on the soon to be released Sony Arc & well, the trend is clear...
3. Cost: It's not about being an early adopter anymore. 3D inclusion is now recognized as an "extra," like thumbing in a surround-sound speaker option for a newly purchased car. Expect anywhere from $100-$200 markup compared to a similarly spec'ed phone minus the 3D.
4. Application Support: How will developers respond? Will there be simultaneously launches for application & videos? A price bump for 3D content...? Oh, that I'm quite sure of...
Regarding cost: You can already preorder the O3D at Amazon.de, and the recommended retail price is just 50€ above the 2x/Speed, and the 3D has better build quality, OMAP4, Dual Channel RAM and 4.3" screen.

Right about that; however, I recall when these phones were previewed after MWC, retailers like Expansys listed a difference of over $100... now it's down to $70. If it remains this low upon US retail release, then T-Mo/At&t customers will have something to cheer about this spring!
Ran a few quadrant test on the optimus 3D and this was the best one, the average was around 2350-ish.
I'll be uploading the linpack scores in a bit.
Linpack is around a steady 35-36
great, could you please tell us more about it?
does it reaslly support tmobile 3g?
how is the 3d display?
plese update us
Well ill try my girlfriends tmobile sim in the phone. I personally have sprint so im not sure update ya in a few hours.
Okay, so I wasn't able to test t-mobile functionality but I'm sure it won't be a problem after devs get ahold of the phone (i currently don't have a sim card in it, nor a gsm card currently available). and as far as the phone itself it's quite enjoyable. The software I have on here is the same they had at CTIA (hell it still has pics from CTIA on there lol) which isn't that stable. But the custom interface is nice and definitely caters to the 3D for the phone with the 3D+ menu. The 3D+ menu you can get to either by pressing the 3D button (where i personally think the camera button should be) or by a shortcut or by a widget which has all the options available. those options they have in the menu are 3D apps and games, 3D camera, 3D youtube, 3D guide (very helpful, ill get into that) and of course the gallery. Now for the 3D itself, as long as you hold it at the right angles and distances it looks pretty damn awesome. I myself hate 3D glasses and don't enjoy 3D movies just for the eye strain, but this seems to be a lot easier on the eyes. It came with a bunch of demo 3D videos, which are awesome and show of the potential quite well. The depth on it is great, I've seen as much as 4 fields of depth (like 4 different objects at different distances). 3D youtube also works very very well. The only thing I don't like about the 3D media is that you get slight scanlines (interlaced) look on it which doesn't really hold you true HD values. But still looks quite great. Now the peeve that I have with the current software (which i'm sure will be worked out in the final release) is taking pictures and videos for yourself. you have to become quite acquainted with the placement of the camera and how it will affect your pictures and videos. As soon as you take a picture the settings are off enough to where it will hurt you eyes, but there is an option to change the 3D formatting (which camera is placed where, i.e. left picture as main or right picture) and the 3D depth adjustment (your best friend) which allows you to manually adjust the lining up of the pictures. In this version of software I've noticed crappy battery life, but I'm sure the new kernels will make a world of difference, the web browsing and 3D gaming (in 3D too, like NOVA in 3D, which is awesome) is very fluid and powerful thanks to the dual-core OMAP4 processor.
So in essential everything works as promised, just wait for the final that they release and you should be blown away. All of my friends reactions, and retail people at staples (cell phone area) were amazed by the quality. The phone is also quite light and the screen is bright as hell.
anymore specific questions? let me know =)
thank you for the description!
can you post a 720p and a 1080p video?
720P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-goLd9HoQZA
1080P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmQiPWnLVIc
Keep in mind this isn't the final software version. Also, sorry about all the traffic noise, lol
How is it possibile.. damn!
From MWC of Barcellona, during the official presentation, it lost ~500 points in Quadrant bench????
At MWC LG show us a 2900 points in quadrant...
Ok by the way...
1) Can you post the original file of videos?
Because I'd like to know how is the original Video bitrate.
2) have you any lag during the game?
3) Can you bench with Neocore? I'd like to know the FPS
4) Can you tell us, how many FPS it does during the quadrant? I'm curious because during the "test of the planets" and the "DNA" it show a really slow FPS...
5) The photos can be taked in 16:9?
6) The Fix of GPS at cold? how many seconds takes?
7) How many seconds for the Boot?
Sorry for a lot of question... but I really wants buy this phone! and i want to know more and more about the 3D.
A REALLY BIG BIG THANK YOU!
Hmm... I hadn't know the previous quadrant score lol.
But I'd be glad to get you those things =D
I also forgot to mention I don't have a micro sd in this phone right now... so the quadrant may not be 100% accurate.
1) I'll do that once I get into work.
2) I've seen no lag, just small framerate drop during cinematics but still extremely fluid. (I've been playing NOVA in 3D a lot.)
3) I ran 3 on Neocore, 57.9 for first run, 58.7 on second run, 57.9 again for the third.
4) Planets it stayed at around 13-14 FPS for the planets and 24-27 FPS for the DNA.
5) As far as the current software that I have, there is not an option to change the ratio.
6) I couldn't trust the true functionality of the GPS since I have to use wifi. But it seemed to get signal quite quickly.
7) 20 seconds to get to splash screen, 30 seconds to load into launcher, 38 seconds to fully load the loader and lock screen.
What do you want to know about the 3D? truthfully from all the reviews I've seen about the two 3D phones (Optimus 3D and EVO 3D) all they say is "it really works!" lol. And it does. But what do you specifically want to know about the 3D?
Thanx for the info and the video posts.
I would also like to see the video clips posted in their original quality, for example a 3D 720p at the best quality setting.
Maybe using http://www.megaupload.com or similar place to upload a clip.
alrighty... well heres the two videos I uploaded to youtube in original format...

The lighting seems to be more stable w/ the 3D? hmm... but that could just be where the sun is right now, It could have been interfering when I was turning. But anywho, enjoy.
Please could you post the phones current firmware and phone version and date, please
hi, can you sell me the phone ? As the release date is june??
how much time gps need that to catch fix(on cold gps) only with integrate gps?
Many thanks to you joeyrushlow.

Thank you so much!
It seems the LG Optimus 3D have a lot of street to do for going better!
The bench of the Planets and the bench of DNA have really low!
Optimus 3D have the same GPU of Samsung Galaxy, but in the bench the GS is faster then LG OPT 3D.
I hope they do a good work with the driver, because this is the best that they can do... I think I'll buy a LG OPT DUAL.
I've a couple of other question
1) Battery life?
2) The effect 3D is "stable"? because I've read that if you move a little bit, the 3D effect "go away"
3) Volume speakers?
4) How fast is in the net? Flash player is working good?
5) Can it read MKV files at 1080p with the standard player?
6) Can you record a video @1080 with REALLY FAST MOVEMENT of the hand? becuase it seems the LG Optimus Dual have a Bug in the camera... (see this video, and you'll see to much compression! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq0O8mQDTns)
Now i go to see the original video files!

1. Battery life sucks right now... they need to update the kernel and software. Final release will probably much better, and when they release 2.3 for it. It will be much better.
2. The 3D is semi-stable... But yeah it is really easy to lose the 3D angle, but if your stationary it's easy enough to keep the effect.
3. Speaker volume is eh... the quality isn't impressive either. It's not as good as the evo, and the EVO is quite mediocre.
4. The browser is pretty awesome, especially with flash 10.2... it works quite smoothly.
5. It looks amazing, but slightly unstable as far as playback, it works for about 10 seconds then starts lagging.
6. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26057377/MOV015.mp4
which one do you people suggest?
my needs are good camera,good 3d experience,durability,battery,Gaming,HD video playback smoothly on phone and on HDTV also!
Does the 512MB ram compared to 1GB make a big difference?

I have a O3D so I'm guessing I'm bias but from what I've heard the 3D on O3D is much better than the 3D on EVO 3D, camera works ok on the O3D, slow camera app but descent pics and video and 3D pics/vid looks good.
Durability no problems there AFAIK.
Battery is low yes but it will most likely get better and there are always solutions to that problem, Gaming works great, HD video playback is no problems and the O3D is the phone with most media format compatibility and HDMI output works great for me.
The RAM difference only matters really when you use all the RAM and with normal use 512 is enough, also when version 2.4/4 of Android comes that's more optimized against dual core systems then the O3Ds Dual RAM and Dual Channel will probably shine much more and performance will get a boost.

the evo 3d got better pop out effects, better resolution wich helps alot in 3d.
also got better camera, wich displays pictures in full screen. the optimus 3d does not do this. Also makes better pictures in dark.
The optimus 3d got better 3d viewing angles. its more relaxed to the eye, but the quality is less then on the evo 3d for sure.
if you do not have problems with viewing angle's and focussing on the screen(you wont get headaches from 3d) then definatly get the evo 3d for better 3d. Other reviews say the o3d got a better 3d screen...thats nonsense. the evo 3d got in both camera 3d and 3d screen, better hardware. Although again, the optimus 3d is really better for the eyes...makes your eyes less tired.
Durability...i think the optimus 3d wins here. the volume buttons on the evo 3d do not feel really confortable, kinda soft...
Battery: evo 3d lasts longer for sure...although dont know if that changes when the o3d will be upgraded to android 2.3 in the future.
Performance:
the optimus 3d is way faster for sure. thats why i traded my evo 3d for the optimus 3d. the evo 3d lags everywhere, you need to wait everywhere(compared to other high end phones).
I hate waiting and wanted smoothness before anything else but 3d.
cant tell anything about HDMI output and have not played 1080p videos yet.
i owned both devices, i know what i talk about
hope this helps

in O3D dont we have popping effect? i mean like we see on 3dtv's? so it the 3d very bad? how much do u give it out of 10? and how much do u give for evo 3d?

yes the optimus 3d has the popping out effect. but its really better on the evo3d...watched same movies and images..its simply better on the evo 3d. and the resolution of the evo 3d makes the 3d alot more sharper as well.
I give the evo 3d a 7/10 in 3d and the optimus a 6/10.
the optimus 3d however, got alot more 3d content. a 3d menu, reinstalled 3d games, 3d photo gallery... but i hate to see the optimus 3d photo's scaled with black bars on the edge of the screen. how stopid cold LG think.
the next 3d phone should have a even larger resolution, and desame view angle's / eye relaxation specs as the optimus 3d, then its worth a 10/10 i think

are u talking about the images shot by the phone or every 3d image we load onto the phone has black bars beside it?
he's talking about how the pictures taken from the camera has black bars on the top and bottom of the screen if looking in portrait mode and black bars on the left and right side of the screen if looking in landscape mode.
And it wouldn't make much sense if the pictures we took will fill up the screen, since the photos are taken with a 4:3 ratio. Either it'll be stretched out or cut off if it was viewed full screen. If the pictures were taken as a widescreen then it'll be fullscreen so don't worry you probably wont even be bothered by the space since you're still seeing the entire picture.
I've also used a friend's Evo3D and I would definitely say the Optimus 3D's 3D effect is much better. Strangely enough, my opinion is opposite of borgqueenx. I feel like the 3D popping effect is better in the Optimus.
In terms of 3D, i say the optimus wins.
For camera, Evo3D wins without any questions. Unless LG could bring a better update to the camera... the picture qualities kinda sucks.
For durability, its pretty much tied. Both phones are very well made.
Gaming and video playback are both good so that shouldn't affect your decision.
Battery life though... I have no idea what the battery life in the Evo3D is, but for the Optimus 3D, battery life isn't that high. I'm using the stock battery with 3G always turned on or wifi always turned on at home. Minimum usage would last me over 8 hours and longer. However, when gaming or watching videos battery would be dead in about 2 hours.
it simply sucks that LG didnt made it that the camera takes widescreen photo's.
the 3d is much better if viewed in widescreen.
The evo 3d is made in widescreen, and fill up the entire screen.
Therefore i think its stopid why LG chose for this aspect ratio.
But performance really sucks on the evo 3d.

yes, battery life on the optimus 3d sucks. its better on the evo 3d. but not by much. the evo 3d gets about 3 hours of gaming max.
But the optimus 3d gets a android update in october(at least according to the rumours) that will improve battery by a bit.

Nonsense likes. I routinely get 26 to 34 hours of normal use. Gaming does use the battery fast though. You can game solid on a heavy 3d game for 6 -7 hours though from a full charge which is plenty of time. Its a phone not a console.

no, the 6 hours you say, is the nonsense. i have juice ultimate saver(or whatever the name was) and set on only connect and sync apps on the 15 minutes. and i do not have email automaticly synced. brightness auto, and i cant get more then 3 hours of gaming on the device.
lol
You gotta remember that I'm only using stock battery and 3G is always on.
Battery is alright actually.
The captivate will definitely last longer. I believe its because of the AMOLED screen.
At the moment, I'm hoping LG will release an update that does allow us to take widescreen photos.

guys im 50/50 on EVO 3D or Optimus 3D
i do need your pros and cons to which device to buy
O3D is much better with 3D capabilities, both capturing and viewing. Probably it is better on the performance side too. LG's hardware is rock solid and with the new 2.3.5 software I think it has no cons against Evo3D.
Tried both, using the 4Ever now, effect is better!

My first phone was lg optimus one, I bought that just for its price. When I compared My phone with my friend's one (Htc wildfire), I saw that mine was 10 times better.
And I decided to go on with lg.
Now I have Lg optimus 3D....
Fast,smooth,no bugs, cool 3d .....
LG annonced for ics update, waiting eagerly ;-)

For certain go for the LG,htc is crap in comaparition with this phone
I'm pretty sure posting this in the O3D/E3D forums would result in completely biased replies...
Regardless, imo the pros of each device are:
E3D
Better 2d Screen (Higher res). I don't really notice that much of a difference in normal use.
Better UI (Sense 3.0 is 3D, has better widgets, apps etc)
16:9 - Widescreen videos wont have small black lines at the top and bottom
1GB Ram - Can Cache more apps, however stock sense 3.0 uses 500MB of it.
Better photos? (Photos/videos turn out the similar, however the Sense 3.0 has a pretty good camera app with touch to focus and more options such as sharpness, exposure, etc). 3D Photos seem to have more depth
Touch to Focus video - The O3d just seems to keep focusing in the middle of the screen. Its somewhat useful.
More ROMS - Especially in the CDMA Version. The GSM has around the same but most seem to be more useful than O3D Roms (OC,UV,ETC)
Camera also opens instantly. The O3D camera takes around 3 secs to start up for some reason (Pressing the home button in the camera app and going back seems to be instant, so its probably a software problem. )
Slightly better battery life
O3D
3D App, video and Photo converters
The 3D Depth adjuster seems to fix most badly taken 3D pics
Faster - Lower res and better GPU. Does much better in 3d benchmarks, but currently existing games all run extremely well on both phones. (Some 3d games such as asphalt 6 are somewhat laggy on E3D, and smooth on the O3D. Pretty much all 3d converted games on the O3D Lag slightly [Even the preloaded angry birds and other 2d games.]
Better 3D Viewing angle (Slightly. 3D Quality is more or less similar, even tho E3D is higher res)
More internal Storage - Both have ~1gb, but the O3d has an extra 5.5gb internal SD (Although it can be annoying at times, since some games dont download to external SD)
1080p Video/3mp 3d photos
Although the E3d has more Pros, most of them are fairly small, whilst the O3D's better 3D Performance and 3D App Convertors are pretty useful (Although somewhat laggy)
The O3D Also is cheaper atm($400 USD, E3D is $500 GSM. CDMA is cheaper though.), and comes with almost every 3D Gameloft game.
----The E3D also seems to only be able to track 4 fingers (I doubt you will ever need anywhere close to that) whereas the O3d seems to be able to track over 10 (Infinite?) fingers - but it is slightly glitchy (Sometimes one touch point just jumps to another finger).
--------The E3D also seems to have bluish whites while the O3D has yellowish whites.

I'm pretty sure posting this in the O3D/E3D forums would result in completely biased replies...
Regardless, imo the pros of each device are:
E3D
Better 2d Screen (Higher res). I don't really notice that much of a difference in normal use.
Better UI (Sense 3.0 is 3D, has better widgets, apps etc)
16:9 - Widescreen videos wont have small black lines at the top and bottom
1GB Ram - Can Cache more apps, however stock sense 3.0 uses 500MB of it.
Better photos? (Photos/videos turn out the similar, however the Sense 3.0 has a pretty good camera app with touch to focus and more options such as sharpness, exposure, etc). 3D Photos seem to have more depth
Touch to Focus video - The O3d just seems to keep focusing in the middle of the screen. Its somewhat useful.
More ROMS - Especially in the CDMA Version. The GSM has around the same but most seem to be more useful than O3D Roms (OC,UV,ETC)
Camera also opens instantly. The O3D camera takes around 3 secs to start up for some reason (Pressing the home button in the camera app and going back seems to be instant, so its probably a software problem. )
Slightly better battery life

Better pictures? in 3d mode E3D captures 2MP whereas O3d captures 3mp resollution pics... Sense 3 is 3D? in theier dreams maybe. It is a normal UI unless by 3d u mean effects like most launchers have (cube rotation etc) cause both phones show 3d in landscape only. At least O3D has 3d space as a show off....
And lastly E3d has a bigger res screen BUT colors are more vivid in O3d and screen is a lot brighter

2 Megapixel 3d pics is more than enough. I doubt anyone even bothers to zoom on them anyways. Regardless, MP =/= Quality, the E3D's photos have more depth, possibly because cameras are further apart.
Sense 3 IS 3d (Not stereoscopic 3d though). Pretty much all widgets are 3d, just look for a vid on youtube (No other launchers have true 3d widgets). It also has a carousel effect which all other launchers lack, and one of the best lockscreens (Agile lock/Sense like miui lockscreens lack options such as weather and music widgets) Rooting the E3D also gives a tilt 3d homescreen option.
Brightness/Color wise, both are similar. O3D might have slightly more contrast, but its not that noticeable in normal use.
I also don't really see any situation besides showing off where the 3d space would be somewhat useful...
guys appreciate all you replies. ill be getting O3d next week. thank you so much..
the next thing i wanna know is the terms of this phone and the android community. im a custom to iphone and symbian phone, jailbreaking and custom frimware.
what i want to know on the android are:
what is a baseband and its uses, version, region?
what is the best firmware?
what is CWM,CM8,CM9?
what is the best Micro sd card for the phone?
have any one of you guys bought this dock + charger ?

is there an app to make 3D button for camera?
what are your apps?

A baseband is the software used by the phone's radio. Better basebands can save battery and increase signal
what is the best firmware?

There isn't really a best one. Some may be faster, while others have better battery life. You should just flash them all and see which one you like, there aren't a lot of O3D Roms
what is CWM,CM8,CM9?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
CWM is clockwork mod - the thing used to flash the roms (Or firmware)
I'm not too sure what CM8 is (Cyanogenmod 8 doesnt exist)
CM9 would probably be CyanogenMod 9, the Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.x) version of cyanogenmod
what is the best Micro sd card for the phone?

A higher class card would usually mean the card is faster, but microSD speed doesn't make much of a difference most of the time

The Optimus 3d Gingerbread update turns the 3D button to a camera shutter.
I would also recommend getting a custom launcher - such as Go, Launcher pro, or Launcher 360. The LGHome launcher is somewhat laggy when sliding full pages and also uses quite a lot of battery compared to others
thank you for answering all my inquiries and the advice im so excited to get the phone. by the way what is the latest baseband

"With an increasing number of mobile applications and technologies being produced, 3D capture is likely to become as important as 3D viewing in TVs. Mobile phones with 3D cameras and HD video recording capabilities are set to become a rage in the near future."
Well, that'll be good!
I'm looking very hard for a good smartphone to replace my Optimus 3D in this year!
So far no news about any upcoming phones
But according to this study, it should become huge soon....
yeah and the world would end 12/2012

Well, it's a good day for 3D news today: http://www.phonearena.com/news/HP-t...-users-to-move-45-degrees-from-center_id41154
HP is working on an improved 3D screen for smartphones!
I don't believe on those kind of studies anyway, most of them are wishful thinking.
Even if this study proves correct, the "huge" 3D trend won't probably come from LG (or HTC) phones because their small market share don't make them trend setters.
But if the next iPhone or Galaxy has a 3D screen, 3D will immediately become huge.
show that to the people back in 2011-2012

All you need is a Google pushed 3D project and it'll blow up, you don't need Samsung or Apple.
if 3D does make a MIRACULOUS(and i do mean by GODS DIVINE HAND), then LG would have already had an big advantage over its competitors
if you guyzz don't know i would like to tell you that i phone can be used as a 3d by purchasing a special 3d glasses.
Just play a 3d video, put on the glasses and enjoy 3d

LG would have had a big advantage, if it would have put 3D on a phone with Gingerbread at release and ICS half a year later.
If it would have put 3D on a phone with double it's memory and more processor speed.
If it would have put 3D in marketing not only focussing on it's gimmicky 3d screen, but more on the camera.
If it would have re-introduced it in the new flagships that followed the Optimus 3D, most of all the Optimus G.
But now the entire experiment is considered to be a 'failure' because it was part of a phone that was badly supported, released with outdated software, and too little memory. Perhaps the thickness was also a factor, but maybe LG was just not able yet to release a thinner 3D phone.
And even then the O3D sold 1,5 million times.
I wonder how often the Optimus G was sold.... It's definitely not that much more.
LG had the big option in had to differentiate itself from it's competitors, but simply choose not to do so.
Here: http://bgr.com/2013/01/18/lg-optimus-g-sales-295602/
Optimus G sold 1 million units. Now I can imagine that it'll sell another half a million perhaps in the next year at most.
Then it'll have sold as much units as the Optimus 3D.
The Optimus G is not a bigger winner then the Optimus 3D.
Yet everybody claims that the O3D failed and that the Optimus G is LG's greatest success till today....
It all has to do with an anti-3D bias most tech-journalists seem to have...
3D, at least in it's current form is not all that good. Actually it's pretty bad. This HP screen with the 45 degrees viewing angle sounds promising. That technology may revolutionize 3D, if done right.
3D cameras will never be that important until we have good 3D screens.
