Rounding out our coverage of LGs presence here in New Orleans this year is the Optimus 3D MAX, a phone we first met back at Mobile World Congress in February. Sure, we got our hands on the device back then, but we figured another spin wouldnt kill us. This time around, the MAX came dressed in white, an outfit we prefer to the black we saw in Barcelona.
Like weve said before, if you arent sold on 3D technology by now , this isnt the device to change your mind. Spec-wise, the MAX isnt that much different than the OG Optimus 3D. Youve got the same 4.3-inch WVGA display (this time around, though, youve got a coating of Gorilla Glass 2), the same dual-lense 5 MP camera, and the same old Gingerbread OS. The processor has been tweaked just a tad, upping the clock speed of that dual-core OMAP 4430 to 1.2 GHz. But the lack of bigger and better specs isnt really a not a knock against the MAX, though; in fact, the device is perfectly capable smartphone that comes with some pretty cool features for those 3D fans.
One of those features is the built-in 3D converter, which is a new addition to the Optimus 3D line. With it, you can convert any old app to full 3D glory. Videos and pictures dont do it justice, so this one youll have to check out for yourself.
Now Im not a hu ge fan of 3D technology, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Its nice to see that LG has committed itself to the technology, and Im looking forward to seeing what it comes up with as the line evolves.
The MAX is available now in Europe, with hush-hush rumors pegging it for an AT&T release sometime this summer. Until then, enjoy some hands-on photos and video after the break.
