LG is bringing 3d with the "Optimus 3d" but....

This is a slight bummer to me, as it means that if Sprint plans on carrying the first 3d phone, as part of their "industry-first", odds are high its not an HTC device. Though, I also highly doubt the announcement will be about any one device, so perhaps, since the Optimus doesn't scream "high-end", at least to me, maybe there will be multiple levels of devices capable of 3d? Hmm.
There six days left until their announcement and this is really the only applicable leak that MIGHT have something to do with it... though it says the phone is getting announced at MWC.
Thoughts on 3d phones and who you would like to see carry them, extra features, etc?

This isn't a leak. This was an official press release from LG. Hence I highly doubt this is related to Sprint in any way.

True I missed the "official press release" my first read haha.
And I doubt it as well, but oh well. I still think HTC has something up their sleeve.
But if something as midlevel as the optimus branding has the 3d crap, what happens when something with the Evo name or similar high end device gets it?

I could care less about a 3d phone, its not something that I would even want on my phone and its a cheap gimmick IMHO.

Hmm... a lot of people think that way...
I personally do a lot of gaming, and in THAT field I see a lot of application for 3d, and I do not think it will be a gimmick this time.
I don't think it will ever be mainstream but I think its gonna stick as an readily available option.

Define the average user? The average user probably doesn't benefit from half of the things in the Evo (or Shift for that matter).
I'm wary of a 3d phone, but you gotta admit it will HAVE to have a kickass processor and gpu to handle it all. Meaning 2d usage will benefit as well.

I bought my GF the Optimus S when it first came out, and if a "free" phone is capable of keeping up with what was considered a high end phone a year ago, then LG is putting out some excellent quality. That said, just like rstuckmaier said, I can imagine the specs to actually do 3D would have to be pretty good in a world of phones. So I could see LG stealing HTCs thunder. We will just have to wait, but since the Optimus was released across all carriers, as are a lot of other phones including the iPhone now, it would make sense that LG will release a Sprint version. 4G is about the only thing that would kill the deal with Sprint, because it would require a redesign for the phone. Keep in mind that the Optimus S is only 3G though.

I agree with you. I used to be the biggest opponent of stereoscopic 3D, but after seeing it in games and rendered scenes, I was blown away. It is so much more appealing in rendered scenes versus real video or images. I think it will eventually be everywhere, and can be disabled if desired. The 3DS and the Sharp 3D phone both let you turn off the 3D effect very easily.

this ! fully agree

I'm surprised by the number of people who don't want 3D, or are against it.
While 3D isn't 'necessary', it will be enjoyable for gaming, recording / viewing 3D videos, and taking / viewing 3D photos.
If it enhances gaming, and creating/viewing photos and videos, then it'll benefit the vast majority of mobile users.
Why would anyone rather view in 2D what could be viewed in 3D? Almost every report I've read of those who have been hands on with the phone are very impressed with the effect.
The only way adding 3D could be anything other than a good thing is if it compromised the quality of the screen in 2D mode, or cost a fortune.

This is high on my list... both the phone and the tablet.
Just curious how is this not considered high-end when it bested the atrix in almost every benchmark? What is it missing that people say it's not a high-end device?

Who doesn't consider it high end? It is high end - right at the top. As you say, the performance is top notch, and features are too. Materials look nice as well, so it's certainly high end.

It's consideret top device by LG

did i just misunderstood the previous post? cause what im reading is that some people here considers optimus Mid-end...
optimus 2x, black, revolution and 3D are all considered high end. those phone are not your usual 1ghz processor smartphones. (2x and 3D are dual).
LG promotes it by saying "it has dual core, dual memory, dual channel" in it. and so far all the videos ive seen during MWC only proves that it is indeed so fast. the processing speed although the demo versions during the MWC are still not on final software performed insanely good on every benchmarks available. anandtech, quadrant, smartbench, neocre, etc, etc.
I would love to see its performance on the final software. i would be getting it. not only because it has 3D but also, because of its powerful processor.

Hopefully the OMAP cpu is more compatible with excisting apps than the Tegra 2 chip. Otherwise it'll be a no-go as well. Because that's the main reason why I currently keep my hands o/t 2X

LG Optimus = EVO 3D
Count me in! If this is a HTC 3D phone they did an excellent job on keeping it off the techworld radar.

[Q] Any Regrets chosing the Optimus 3D?

Hello, I fell in love with the Optimus 3D but i chose the Galaxy S2 because of reviews, and afraid the LG would be hard to resell at a good price when the Galaxy 3D comes out..
Now my fears with the LG 3D was the battery life and the video quality.. 3D 720p is actually 640 lines across (split screen 1280) so its technically just regular SD video. But i just love that 3D screen, however i dont feel like carrying 2/3 batteries in my pocket to use it all day.. But i still have 14 days to return the Galaxy S2 and get the Optimus 3D, please anyone out there can give me personal reviews of owning that phone? Any disapointment with low light, videos, photos, weight or bulk?
Does someone have a Optimus 2D 1080p video on youtube AFTER the v10b update for me to see how the HD looks after the rom? Thanks

noone yet has any opinion on the optimus 3d ownership experience ? has the galaxt s2 made you hesitate too?

I had a GS2 for about 3 months and picked up a O3D, have sold the GS2 as I could see no real drawbacks keeping the O3D over the GS2, it may have a better camera for 2D stills and can do slightly better 1080p video but is missing one key thing it can't take pictures or record video in 3D, so the choice was simple for me, I can do everything I did on the GS2 on this but have the bonus of 3D.
It all depends what you think of the 3D side of a phone, if its important to you then there is no reason to not get one, personally I couldn't go back to watching 2d things on the GS2 and recording videos/photos in 2d.
I am very happy with the phone all that lets it down is the battery life but am sure when Gingerbread comes out that will get addressed a bit as we all know Forya wasn't very good with power management and battery life.

I sold the SII to buy the O3D
no regrets
one downside is that in 3D mode you cannot use the LED "flash". anything indoors after 5PM looks awful as the gain is too high.
Looks fine on the screen, but if I put on my 3DTV or get the photos printed in 3D then it looks bad!

I am awaiting the arrival of the O3D (should be delivered within 2 days). My previous device was the O2X.
I tried both phones out the S2 and the O3D.
Still though I wanted a 3D phone, so when I saw what the O3D can do the choice for me was straight forward. I dont like the way the S2 lies in my hand its just to thin for me and it gives me a cheap impression.
In addition to that the S2 cant do nothing special it just can do all things the O2X can do just a bit better.
For me personally is the O3D my phone I would like to try the Evo 3D too but here in Europe we will be forced to pay huge amounts of money for a phone that is reasonably cheap in the states now.
If you want something really special that can get much better in the future (with 2.3) than you just cant help buying the O3D at the moment. I love how the phone feels and performs.
The S2 is already maximized you wont be surprised from it.
The O3D will last longer in my hands than the O2X for sure.

I sold my SGS2 right away after I got the O3D.
No regrets whatsoever...I love the O3D.

Thank you guys those replies helped a lot and i returned mt Galaxy S2 an hour ago for the Optimus 3D
Now i just need to learn how to put the v10d on it lol
I will do a before-after video upload of both to see the diference and share it!
Thanks!

cinemano the 3d environment was what made ​​me get the decision to change the Galaxy SII with this mobile, I wanted to gain experience in 3d and inform you that I did not regret.... THIS phone is just Amazing.

I had a HD2 'androidzed' and was given an O3D to test.
Appart from the obvious 3D advantage, the phone feels really slick compared with the HD2 (snapdragon with CM nightly).
My use of the phone is work/office oriented primary, so i can not talk much about gaming, and since is a test phone I don't want to customize or root the phone, so appart of some apps the phone is stock. And I'm pleased so far.
The cons are battery (really poor if you want to use it as a mobile office away from power outlets) and keyboard (good response, worst.distribution.ever!). Both are easy to overcome with an external battery charger and a keyboard apk.
Anyway, this phone has the potential to be a real beast with a CM in it.

Make sure that you update to 10d before you root the phone,it will brick your phone if you try and update the sw after you root.

Just got mine today, replaced with gs2. So far so good.
No issues with wifi that I had with gs2 and no issues with gps that I had it with gs2.
My lg gets quite warm, especially around the top part of the phone, is this also with you guys?

Mine gets warm after like 30-40 minutes of watching a 3D video.

Yep the 3D seems to warm things up a bunch but that is understandable as it uses a hefty amount of horsepower to create the effect. Sometimes the phone gets a little warm when charging too but honestly, both are barely worth mentioning as they are only slight warmths. Not even remotely close to a warm laptop for example.

If you are using a case its unlikely you will notice it tbh.

Wonderful device absolutely no regrets.
After a day of use one wonders why not all phones are 3D.
Finding 3D content will be the biggest issue as there is nothing like 3D netflicks in europe.

Search yt3d on. youtube al lot of nice clips
I came from a hd2 this device is great, sgs2 feels cheaps to me

does it mean that if i root my phone even after v10d i wont be able to accept any official future lg updates?

Updating to 10D via OTA having installed CWM is a sure way to 'brick' your phone. Not really bricked cause it could be recovered but it won't boot again easilly.
I suppose it will be patched any time soon, but for now don't install CWM if you plan to accept OTA updates.
OTOH, I don't think rooting the phone is dangerous in any way... but I'm not an expert or developer.

like someone already said, only bad thing is lack of LED lamp while you try to make a 3D photo....
everything else is great

2 serious drawbacks for me, one is livable with, another is frustrating. The 1st is the battery life, but it is ok with me coz I charge and bring few batteries with me all time. And the 2nd problem which is the lack of notifications led, it is frustrating to me. It is one of the most useful feature a smartphone should be compulsorily to have, but not in this high end phone!!

LG Thrill....should I wait?

So I've been using an iPhone 3GS for a long time now and I want an android phone. I read about the HTC Sensation but it's on tmobile and I don't want to leave my grandfathered unlimited data plan. Question is should I wait and get a LG Thrill or get a Sensation?
How's the screen on the thrill? I've read that the resolution is bad. Is the thrill going to get gingerbread?
Thank you all.
AJ

Get the Thrill....

I agree, get the Thrill. I have had mine for two weeks now and it is the best phone I have used. The screen is real nice and gingerbread will be coming in October. Besides the 3D, this phone packs a punch!
Sent from my LG Optimus 3D with Tapatalk

So it's worth it to stay on the ATT network and pay a little more rather than go with tmobile?

I would get the thrill
my sister owns the Sensation and I own the Optimus 3D.
From what I've used so far, unless you can't live without Sense 3.0, get the Thrill.
For the sensation, I can't help but feel that its just a regular high end phone you'll find anywhere. Hardware isn't too different, and sure its using higher resolution, but that's actually not that great of a thing.
A few of the apps I tested out on the Sensation does not show up properly. What I mean is that it shows the app perfect and it works, except there's a lot of black spaces on the left, right, and bottom sides of the screen. But none of that would happen with the Thrill since most apps would work on a 480x800 resolution.
The screen of the Optimus 3D is actually very decent. Viewing angles are good, I dont notice any ghosting or bleeding or that kind of stuff. Its not that bright though. I compared the brightness of both phones and the Sensation seems to win there. But, after testing that out, I lowered brightness down to half for daily use so I'm not sure if that's such a deal breaker.
You shouldn't be worried about the screen, because there's no problems there.
And the Thrill will definitely get Gingerbread. LG has already stated that the Optimus 3D will get that update in the coming months and it should be a bit later for the Thrill.
So, if I were you, I would go for the Thrill. 3D is actually very useful to have. After I used the Optimus 3D, the Sensation doesn't feel too spectacular anymore.

If you dont want the wait buy a unlocked Rogers one same frequencies so it should work fine

How does the thrill stack up to the sgs2? If I don't care about 3d stuff is the thrill still for me?

Depends on what you want it for
Pros and Cons vs the SGS2 (IMO)
Cons
Battery time (LG O3D/Thrill is a power hog due to unoptimized power usage that will hopefully be addressed in later software and power hungry hardware, will get better but most likely SGS2 will give you more lifetime, I solve this by having a $30 5000mAh portable charger that works great)
Screen (if you don't use the 3D at all the screen is a negative, not as good with colors etc, needs more power and so on, it's not a bad screen (it's good as well) just designed for 3D and not low power consumption etc)
RAM (while IMHO 512MB (2X256) of ram with dual channel is preferred to 1GB single some will list this as a weakness of the O3D, won't really matter for normal use, but if you want to run 1500apps at the same time you might prefer the bigger size over speed)
Storage (SGS2 has 16/32GB, O3D has 8, sucks I know but you can always put in 32GB more but as you can also do that in the SGS2, Storage goes to SGS2)
Pros
3D (Well the 3D is good and actually nice for pictures etc and with Fuji-films 3D printing and more 3D hardware coming to market it's more than just a gimmic)
Development (While not set in stone the development opportunities for the O3D is enormous, much to the fact that TI shares their code for the chipset like no other, CyanogenMod development is in full swing with 3D features, Radio etc already working even though it's just started and not even nightlys are out yet)
Media support (The O3D if the phone with most media support hands down and it's really good, with the HDMI out this effectively makes it a portable media station unlike any other phone and that's not even counting the fact that you can plug it in to a 3DTV)
FUN Factor (The SGS2 is a stable and very good phone no question but that also makes it a bit boring, for me at least, the O3D has so much potential with the dual core, dual memory, dual channel and TI's open source code and the 3D on top of that give it that extra)
As for resolution etc, 800x480 on a 4.3" screen is enough unless you tend to hold the phone 5cm (~2") from your eyes, I don't have 20/20 vision, far from it but I've never felt that the screen felt unsharp or anything like that and the screen preforms well even in sunlight.

If you are into 3D then this phone is for you.
The 3D is done pretty well.
If not then maybe you should check out other options.

I just picked up one of these bad boys. While it isn't as snappy as my Atrix, (I'm hoping it's just because it's still stuck on Froyo), it's still a very fun phone to use. I haven't had a 4.3" screen in a while, and although the phone itself is a bit bigger, I forgot how nice having that much screen size was. The 3D effect is awesome. I took a couple of shots of my dog, and he's just that much more adorable on picture now. The only drawback is that the Thrill is my only 3D device, so I'm kind of stuck just seeing it on that screen. Also, if you're a big Picasa/Google Photo user, just a heads up that the *.jps 3d images that the Thrill takes will not upload to their servers until you rename them to*.jpg.
If you're not really into the 3D, I would pass on the Thrill for a SGS2 if you wanted to stick with AT&T.

They're a great deal at only $30 at Costco.

picked mine up today!!! cant put it down hahaha
really recommend it.. its pretty darn quick and i wasnt really interested in the 3d but LG did a really good job with it!!!

Happens to me too. I believe this is because we're still on 2.2
and its 2.3 which supports FFC

it's actually 2x512mb ram.
technically there is a gigabyte but because it works as two copies of the same data there is only a useable value of 512mb.

Haha, I'm in the same situation here. The phone fared a lot better than I expected and now parting ways with it isn't going to be as easy as I thought it would be. The 3D was cooler than I expected, but I still think it's a gimmick at the end of the day.
A few weeks from now - once there's a good dev community - I can see this phone doing pretty well. Right now, it's still pretty mediocre in my opinion, but not as mediocre as some of the reviews make it out to be. lol.

I was originally turned off from getting this device because of the bad reviews... however I picked mine up today and am happily impressed with everything it can handle!!!
Only my first day but already like it better than the infuse...

Just to give you a first hand experience on the Evo3D.
I had it in my hands today and I reserved it online.
What can I say.... I am very much disappointed.
I thought that because its a HTC it would shock me and I would want it. But seriously the phone is not worth the trade with the O3D.
Positives on the Evo3D:
- Senses
- Here on xda pretty good support and kernel devs
- Hardware is a bit stronger than on the O3D considering benchmarks on the chipset
- More resolution
Negatives:
- 3D is really crap (I mean really really really junk compared to the O3D)
- The display although it has more resolution it really looks like it has been washed up, no good color contrast and no serious notice on the resolution since the colors look pretty bad
You can see that right away in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SqwT1eRe7U&feature=related
- The camera shoots bad pictures compared to the O3D
- Really cheap materials, case is made out of cheap plastic and the phone feels fragile and cheap
On the evo section of the board people vote for the evo. Here they vote for the LG but after having both phones in my hand I can clearly say that the LG is the best 3D phone because of 3 ko features:
- Real 3D with real 3D content
- Much better display quality
- Better material quality on the housing
You see the display every time you touch the phone and you feel the housing also every time you touch it.
I had the feeling I had a HD2 in my hands.
What a disappointment......

Well having come from the LG O2X myself I've found that initially, although the hardware is better and more future proof (eg. the next Google phone is rumoured to have the same chipset as the O3D) that in daily use I find that it can be a little laggy sometimes, the menus not scrolling 100% smoothly stuff like that, nothing major, it could be just me being a little picky! The battery isn't that bad either, I normally charge mine every night, but then I did the same with my O2X. If you use the 3D a lot, which you will do at the start it will run the battery down a lot quicker.
I also think that this phone is lacking developers and roms but, it is in the early stages of development, although I do believe that they will come as soon as CM7 is up and running and if the next Google phone does have the OMAP4 in it, there will be lots of ports and lots more developers.
This is just my opinion and I'm not trying to say that the current developers and roms aren't any good but its a new phone and people are still getting used to what it can and can't do at the minute...

how do you find the camera? i know the one on the galaxy s2 is amazing.

the camera on the gs2 is better...if the gs2 camera is 9/10,the optimus 3D camera is 7,5/10

I also had to decide between the sg2 and the Op3d. I am very happy that I chose the Op3d. I really dont understand why it has so many bad reviews. Yes its a little bulky and a bit heavy but if feels just fine.
The build quality is really good, the cameras are in my opinion are good enough for everyday use. Its very fast, I have no lag on mine.
I also think the battery life isn't that bad. Yeah if your on it every second of the day it drains quickly but for the average user like myself I only need to charge once a day.
And when the gingerbread update arrived it will be one of the best phones around.
Just get one!

The phone is really nice but LG sucks big time... The only drawback about getting this phone is really LG...

Seriously? I went for the optimus over the Evo 3D specifically for it being LG as had another LG phone before the O3D and it was great. Maybe I'm biased as they also make my tv but I find they make very reliable decent products so would disagree that LG sucks. But the phone, yes it is really nice
The camera is good, though every now and then in High Def 3D recording you can see a slight stutter. I like the default interface so haven't changed it but, as with all Android devices, a number of useless apps run that even when you kill them just restart within minutes.
Not found any lag myself and I use mine a lot to browse the internet and play games and 3D content but did find it couldn't handle the game Plants Vs Zombies though some say its because that needs 1 Gigabyte. It ran but so slowly it was unusable.
I think when gingerbread is available for it the O3D will be even better, as I have it on my old LG GT540 (unofficial rom) and even on that it's fast. My only slight gripe with the Optimus 3D is that in 3D mode you can sometimes see the touch screen sensors which can be distracting.

LG has maybe the best TVs and PC screens but also maybe the worst phones. I got my phone bricked 3 times already from the LG Mobile Tool without having it rooted or anything. The built in updater has also critical issues but the most of the times it works decently. What I'm saying is that everything (software-wise) that is LG related on the device is really but really unreliable. They do have a decent 3D menu though.

I think youd be happy whichever one you go for as both are very capable pieces of hardware. Stock software is what it is. There are clearly more aftermarket custom roms for the gs2 at the moment but there will obviously be many more developments on that front for both devices in the months to come.
