LG Electronics unveiled the world’s first full 3D smartphone, called the Optimus 3D, as well as a new tablet at an event on the sidelines of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, reports the WS Journal.
The LG Optimus 3D smartphone features a number of innovative technologies, including the first dual-core, dual-channel and dual-memory architecture as well as the first 3D platform allowing for recording, viewing and sharing of 3D content. You can then upload your 3D videos instantly to YouTube’s 3D channel.
The LG Optimus 3D will be rolled-out globally starting with Europe early in the second quarter. The phone will initially be released with Android 2.2 (Froyo) and will be upgradeable to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).
“Smartphones are going to go through a generational shift in 2011. With dual core processors and LTE we will be setting new standards,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Mobile Communications. “We think that dual core smartphones will herald a significant turning point in the market.”
LG also unveiled its Optimus Pad tablet which features a unique 8.9-inch display, a departure from the trend toward tablets featuring 7- and 10-inch screens. The new tablet uses Google’s Android 3.0 platform and the NVIDIA Tegra 2 mobile processor.
LG says it is the world’s first tablet with a 3D camera offering users an immersive multimedia environment with Full HD 1080p decoding.
LG also unveiled the world’s first demonstration of Voice over LTE (VoLTE) technology and Video call over LTE on the Revolution, the first 4G LTE smartphone from LG. LG’s upcoming LG Revolution Android smartphone will make use of Verizon’s new 4G LTE network for not only data, but also voice.
