The new LG Optimus has been a word on the street since it was first unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona back  in February this year. Today LG pulled the trigger and officially launched the long-awaited LG Optimus 3D, an innovative new smartphone featuring second generation dual core technology and an advanced “Tri-Dual” architecture.

The LG Optimus 3D takes the smartphone experience into new territory with its Tri-Dual configuration – dual-core, dual-channel and dual-memory – which allows for improved performance when multi-tasking, enjoying a movie or playing graphics-intensive games. This LG smartphone is also a major step forward in the utilization of full 3D functionality in everyday life – users can record and immediately view content in 3D without the need for special glasses.

A small word on Tri-Dual:

LG’s Tri-Dual architecture pushes the LG Optimus 3D’s performance well beyond simple clock speed improvements. Other smartphones – even those with higher clock speeds and dual-core technology – suffer when it comes to actual performance because of the inefficiency inherent in a single-channel configuration. With a dual-channel configuration, data transfers take place simultaneously between the dual-core and dual-memory, resulting in noticeably faster performance. As a result, the LG Optimus 3D maximizes run-time efficiency leading to noticeably smoother, faster, and longer multi-tasking, browsing, gaming and multimedia enjoyment than ever before.

Noteworhty mentions:

The LG Optimus 3D can record genuine 3D footage with image stabilizing support. Playback on the phone itself does not require require special 3D glasses (technology similar to Nintendo’s 3DS). HDMI 1.4 connector, DLNA ceritified, 4.3inch WVGA display HD (up to 1080p in 2D and 720p in 3D). Conversion software included to render 2D photos into their 3D equivalent. Support for 3D youtube sharing and a 3D augmented reality browser (in collaboration with Pioneer).

Availability:

Europe first, shortly after 60 markets around the world over the next weeks.
