LG Optimus 3D Max vs LG Optimus 3D | Speed, Performance and Features Reviewed | Full Specs Compared
The mobile phone industry is desperately waiting for a change, not just a change, but a big change that would transform the whole industry. You may think the 4G connectivity, full HD display and top of the class camera are what make the industry tick. It does make the industry work and to keep the consumers satisfied and content, but not for too long. Always, there’s another step for the speed in connectivity, and when that surfaces, 4G will be outdated. In any case, 4G is becoming more of a commodity than a luxury. The full HD displays are increasingly frequent in the market. If you take the smartphone announced in MWC 2012, most of the handsets feature full HD resolution. The camera is something the vendors will always improve on, but then, an enthusiast knows that the smartphone doesn’t really make the ideal camera, no matter how high the resolution it can do. Thinking this is the case, you may get discouraged to follow the industry, but there were few promising changes implied at the MWC 2012 and CES 2012.
Samsung has effectively demonstrated the use of a Nano projector with a handheld device, and that seemed like a crowd puller. I mean, it’d be really great if you can share whatever you want at any time you want, in any place you want. Another promising idea demonstrated by LG was the 3D smartphone series they unveiled almost a year back. They have come up with a successor for that smartphone at the MWC 2012. So we thought of comparing these two handsets against each other and find out how much of a fine tuning LG has done during a time period of a year.
LG Optimus 3D Max
Been the successor of a product is clearly not an easy task. The successor is expected to have the features of the predecessor that consumers loved and yet, it also needs to have new features they would love. If we take the big picture, LG hasn’t done much to keep it that way, but we’ll discuss the improvements LG has made in time to come. Apart from the 3D feature, Max can be considered as another regular high end smartphone available in the market. It has 4.3 inches 3D LCD capacitive touchscreen featuring a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels at a pixel density of 217ppi. Of course, this edition is the glass-less edition, so you don’t need to have any accessory to use the phone in 3D. It has a 3D mode and a 2D mode for ease of use. There is also a separate user interface to be able to use the 3D feature. It is sleek at a thickness of 9.6mm and fits right in to your pocket with dimensions scoring 126.8 x 67.4mm. It has an expensive and elegant look to it, and you can easily hold it in your hand for a long time because of the ergonomic design. Optimus 3D Max also follows the normal four touch button set up of Optimus 3G.
该手机由Ti Omap 4430芯片组和PowerVR SGX540 GPU以及1GB的RAM以及POWERVR SGX540 GPU的1.2GHz Cortex A9双核处理器提供动力。操作系统是Android OS v2.3姜饼,但LG承诺很快将升级为v4.0 IC。它具有8GB的内部存储空间,可使用高达32GB的microSD卡扩展选项。3D不会在屏幕上结束。Optimus 3D Max具有带有自动对焦和LED闪光灯的5MP双摄像头,可以使用Geo标签拍摄立体照片和视频。双摄像头还可以在2D和720p视频中记录1080p HD视频 @ 30帧 @ 3D中的30帧。VGA摄像机可用于发起视频会议,尽管这似乎并不是这款智能手机的意图。LG正在使用HSDPA连接性移植此智能手机,可支持高达21Mbps的速度。Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n确保您始终连接,并且3D Max也可以充当Wi-Fi热点,并共享您的Internet连接以及将丰富的媒体内容传输到您的智能电视无线上。除这些功能外,3D Max还提供NFC支持,可以在没有钱包的情况下购物。 The 1520mAh battery seems somewhat below the line, but since we don’t have the usage statistics for this device, we can’t comment on that.
LG Optimus 3D
LG的Optimus 3 d的荣誉是第一个3 d smartphone in the world. It was announced in January 2011 and released in July 2011. It is rather thick with a score of 11.9mm and you can easily hold this in your hand because it’s just the right size. The only blowback is that it’s on the hefty side of the spectrum, so you might have some discomfort. It has 4.3 inches 3d LCD capacitive touchscreen featuring a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels at a pixel density of 217ppi. Optimus 3D introduced the intuitive 3D user interface LG designed which was quite a new experience back then. Having a smartphone you can use to get a 3D experience without glasses can be quite handy and will definitely make you famous among your friends.
Optimus 3D is powered by 1 GHz Cortex A9 dual core processor on top of TI OMAP 4430 chipset with PowerVR SGX 540 GPU and 512MB of RAM. The operating system is Android OS v2.2, but it can be upgraded to v2.3 Gingerbread. The processor is pretty good compared to the time the handset was released, and with the optimizations provided by the operating system, Optimus 3D gives you an amazing and seamless user experience. It has 8GB of internal storage with the option to be expanded using microSD card up to 32GB. This handset can handle speeds up to 14.4Mbps using HSDPA connectivity and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n can be considered as a great supporting mechanism. Fortunately, it can host a wi-fi hotspot to share your internet as well as wirelessly stream your rich media content to Smart TV using DLNA. LG has included 5MP dual camera set up with autofocus and LED flash that can record stereoscopic pictures and videos with geo tagging. It can capture 1080p HD videos @ 30 frames per second in 2D and 720p videos @ 30 frames per second in 3D. The secondary camera can be used to make video calls easily. It has 1500mAh battery, which LG claims can work up to 12 hours with one charge, and we like that score on the battery.
A Brief Comparison of LG Optimus 3D vs LG Optimus 3D Max • LG Optimus 3D is powered by 1GHz Cortex A9 dual core processor on top of TI OMAP 4430 chipset while LG Optimus 3D Max is powered by 1.2GHz Cortex A9 dual core processor on top of TI OMAP 4430 chipset. • LG Optimus 3D runs on Android OS v2.2 Froyo and can be upgraded to v2.3 Gingerbread while LG Optimus 3D Max runs on Android OS v2.3 Gingerbread with a planned upgrade to v4.0 ICS. • LG Optimus 3D is bigger, thicker and heavier (126.8 x 67.4mm / 9.6mm / 148g) than LG Optimus 3D Max (128.8 x 68mm / 11.9mm / 168g). |
Conclusion
There is always some difference in two models released by any manufacturer. It may be a subtle difference, but two models can’t be 100% similar at any given time. It’s the same case with this situation, as well. LG Optimus 3D and LG Optimus 3D Max are smartphones with slight differences that wouldn’t make that much of an impact on the user. The processor has been improved; or rather the clock rate has been upgraded to 1.2GHz. While it would boost the performance, the distinction wouldn’t be that eminent if you don’t look just for it. The RAM has also been improved at 1GB, and the combination of these two may result in noticeable improvements, in performance and seamless switching of applications. In any case, the most noticeable difference is in the physical appearance of the handset. LG Optimus 3D Max is thinner and lighter with great looks compared to LG Optimus 3D. Especially the reduction in weight may be a great factor to be considered. There is also the difference in the operating systems where LG Optimus 3D Max is due for an upgrade to ICS while LG Optimus 3D only gets Gingerbread. These are the apparent differences you can see with a preliminary check but our sources tell us that LG Optimus 3D Max would be rather high in price and thus, investing in LG Optimus 3D might be a sound decision, as well.
