LG OPTIMUS 3D REVIEW:CLASSIC

Aug 1st, 2011 Posted in LG Series | no comment »

there has alot to be done in the world of 3D but some companies are taking steps to do that .

LG OPTIMUS 3D

And while the other manufacturers are still mulling it over, LG is taking the lead. The first ever mobile phone with a 3D display – the LG Optimus 3D – was announced back in February at the MWC and is now available.

In one swift stroke, LG caught the competition off guard. It seems the Optimus 3D holds all the cards right now. There is barely a phone that can compete succesfully on all levels. Although the screen and pair of cameras are the key features, it has everything to become a bestseller even without the 3D trickery. Starting with the dual-core processor and latest-gen graphics, through the capable camera and connectivity package, and the snappy Android Froyo (hopefully, soon to be replaced with Gingerbread).

  • Smart dialing, voice dialing
  • DivX/XviD video support
  • Office document editor
  • Innovative gesture controls
  • Adobe Flash 10.3 support
  • Dolby Mobile and SRS sound enhancement

Main disadvantages

  • No FM radio
  • Less than impressive camera performance
  • Very limited third-party 3D apps
  • Unimpressive with the screen’s outdoor performance
  • Performance not quite as convincing as other dual-cores
  • No dedicated camera key

LG Optimus 3D is far from perfect, but there is no such device out there anyway. The thing of utmost importance here, beside the Optimus 3D being the first of its kind, is that it does an excellent job at it right away. You know most tech pioneering gadgets are nice concepts but rarely turn out polished enough to make a difference. Well, the Optimus 3D is no tech demo. It works as it is supposed to – there are the 3D menus, the 3D gallery, the 3D pictures and videos and finally, real 3D games. And the best part is that they look awesome.

LG Optimus Black review:EXTRA SLIM

May 23rd, 2011 Posted in lg optimus black, LG Series | 2 comments »

LG has recently introduced its new optimus black wcich is physically very slim u cant get more slim then that and its more attractive feature is its black colour and the classic nova dispaly here is a review of the LG optimus black.

The Optimus Black is the first phone we’ve tested that uses the NOVA display technology. Special enough to warrant a dedicated article. You’re welcome to read the whole piece but, to sum things up, it’s the brightest display on a phone with picture quality that stands up next to the industry’s best.

Despite the 4” NOVA display however, the Optimus Black is a compact device – there’s not much bezel around the screen and it’s mere 9.2 mm slim. The smooth back with sloping edges makes the Black feel thinner still. And that’s 9.2 mm at the thickest – no camera bump or any other bulging bits.

The screen and the slim silhouette are certainly the highlights of the LG Optimus black but not all there is to it.

Key features:

  • 9.2 mm slim touchscreen bar
  • 4” NOVA display at 700 nits of brightness, 16M-color WVGA capacitive IPS LCD unit
  • Quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G support
  • 7.2 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA
  • Android OS v2.2 Froyo (upgradable to v2.3) with LG Home launcher 2.0 and Gesture UI 2.0
  • TI OMAP 3630 1GHz processor
  • 512 MB RAM
  • 5 MP autofocus camera with LED flash, face detection and geotagging
  • 720p video recording at 30fps
  • 2 MP front-facing camera with video calls
  • Wi-Fi b/g/n; Wi-Fi Direct and DLNA
  • GPS with A-GPS, digital compass
  • 2GB storage (1GB user available); microSD slot, 32GB supported (2GB card included)
  • Accelerometer, ambient light and proximity sensor
  • Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
  • Stereo FM radio with RDS
  • microUSB port (charging) and stereo Bluetooth v2.1
  • Smart dialing, voice dialing
  • DivX/XviD video support
  • Gesture controls with dedicated button
  • Adobe Flash 10.1 support
  • Document viewer/editor

Main disadvantages

  • HD video clips come out with distorted aspect ratio
  • Single core processor when most of the high-end has gone dual-core
  • The blacks of the NOVA display are not deep enough to impress
  • No dedicated camera key
  • No Android 2.3 Gingerbread at launch
  • Disappointing audio quality

The LG Optimus Black focuses on the all-round experience rather than the raw processing power but a 1GHz (single-core) CPU and 512MB RAM should be by any means enough for most apps .

The Optimus Black features the Wi-Fi Direct technology, which claims faster local file transfers than Bluetooth 2.x, and is as easy to set up as Bluetooth.

The imaging department also earns a nod – 5MP stills and 720p videos should be enough for the average user. The 2MP front-facing camera is right on time to join the revival of video calling.
