LG P920 Optimus 3D Smartphone (10.9 cm (4.3 inch) display, touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera, Android OS) black (Electronics)

Customer Review

I have a few days since the LG Optimus 3D, and now a lot of rumhantiert so.

The Optimus 3D is often denigrated with unnecessary or even a bad 3D and less power which I think is not true to.
I chose this smartphone not for the 3D, but because of the performance.

- Power
The Optimus 3D is one of the top smartphones and is a performance Bullide. Many benchmarks it cuts just barely worse than the "highly acclaimed leader" Samsung Galaxy S2. The interesting thing is that the differences are quite small. However, it must be mentioned that the Optimus 3D just yet runs on Android 2.2 which has the consequence that it can not fully exploit its performance that direct performance comparisons insignificant if not can even appear more positive for the Optimus 3D for me.
All in all, the menu runs Butterweich which applications are fast and there are almost no limits.

The Optimus 3D has a dual-core processor from Texas Instruments which (according to statements by LG and a few more technical reviews and tests) should have more power than the normal dual cores in other models.
Auserdem LG uses 2 parallel accessible memory of 512 MB (which is quite sufficient), which has the advantage that more and faster memory access and thus provide much more performance is generated.

- The display
The display provides super colors, you realize halving the resolution in 3D mode but right strong. The 3D menu Succeeded in my opinion not really the content (see below) but the better.
The display sometimes reflects a bit strong but what is almost customary with such devices. It Villeicht would also recommend a cloth to the more streaks to brush on the display, which are, however, also suffer from typical smartphone.
All in all, the display is very large and it can be great to work with. In übermäsiger use and recharge it may come to that some areas of the smartphones become warm to hot. That's exactly then uncomfortable when you, for example, plays the preinstalled game Nova. The area in which the running direction is determined is then sometimes very warm. However, I have to say that this is often the case with long-term use occurs if you take a very long play. These Auserd comes the 3D games much CPU resources are what also increased heat generation result has.

- Android version
(To be updated but which according to LG in October I think) As just mentioned runs on this smartphone, the Android version 2.2.
On this subject can man say that a bad policy update from LG is indeed annoying, the smartphone itself but should not devalue. My position on this is: "Ok I'll wait a little but it then gives the Boost deluxe)
Apart from the time the Android version was tolerable and not as many claim an overkill argument is -D (which has me recessions in many a bit annoyed)
But you have to just admit that Android 2.2 just comes along with its weaknesses and to expect minor load times at many actions which are not be overly dramatic. (I'm talking of about 3 seconds or less with things like Google Maps the load a little more than just a list)

Furthermore, it was already repeatedly announced that it will be possible with the Android 2.3 patch even 3D content on 3D convert what is a real hammer. (Not sure but read already sources 100% of many)

- 3D effect -> Video and Games
If you expect that you will be experiencing with a smartphone 3D cinema experiences probably very disappointed. Nevertheless makes the 3D effect her a lot. The preloaded demo videos in 3D make this clear. The games give her a lot and make quite fun in 3D.
At the pre-installed games and movies one can say that one is facing quickly tired. Since then take a look at the Gameloft Store (link in Anwedungsmenü) in which currently the Games: Avatar 3D, Assassins Creed 3D, Real Football 2011 3D, Shrek Kart 3D, Star Battalion 3D, Spider Man Total Mayhem 3D and Fishing Kings 3D
Avatar, Assassins Creed and RF2011 I have already bought and can say that the 3D effect on Avatar and Assassin's Creed is super, at RF2011 it falls rather on concurrently. The content is thus to know if you stand on games. (Star Battalion is 3D übrinds brand new in store so will probably come replenishment)

When films but look especially when playing the sensitive angle falls on. However, you can adjust the strength of the 3D effect so that you get a little which can thus rausholen. When playing you should at least have a halfway stable position and pay attention to little right left tilt. If the angle is not correct you can see the pictures twice because the technology actually only 2 images simultaneously represents and this is visible then. This brings me anyway along well, you just have to meet a bit of technology.

On the subject of Youtube 3D, it seems it is just a link to a channel of LG is the Movies 3D Focused. So now not very stunning. (Heads me when I was just too stupid to understand the XD)

* I am in the rest of the 3D noticed then the eyes anstängt if you have to fast, to Small and Large elements in the picture. As for a small light particles hovering in the foreground, a large element (eg, an arm) of which can not be well followed close by the side running in picture, or something very fast. Without problems mostly funktioneren the menu items of play (since you're standing still) or single objects like a leaf in the room.

- Camera and 3D camera
The camera itself is my opinion super sufficient and makes great photos. They can not compensate a little configuring and thus various weak points.
But what good is the 3D camera herraussticht (or rather the 2 cameras) with the 3D movies and pictures can take themselves.
It must be said that it takes for 3D recordings also background knowledge. One should first 3D tips heed the LG delivers: take at least 50 to a maximum of 2 meters away from the camera.
That's all what LG is a tip, essentially is yet to come to work the effects. (See paragraph provided with * at - 3D effect -> Video and Games) is my experience about this: Individual objects photography Works great, and avoid close-ups and shoot Slow. As an example, I have a picture of my table with many objects made partially in the image partly were auserhalb and different far away. The result was a very weak 3D effect, a recording of a plant in the living room with a large leaf in the foreground, however, provided an impressive effect.
So it's important to know how to take something good in 3D, and it does take some practice.

Besides these there are the MP distinction, in 3D mode it's only 3Mega pixels and in normal mode 5 mega pixels. Recordings for Party rather the normal mode would therefore worship, for effect photos you show friends and acquaintances, I would recommend to achieve a 3D effect AH. -D

- The Battery
The LG Optimus 3D the battery keeps the most smartphone in its class now by no ages. However, a normal working day with occasional use rather he holds out good. However, if you use a lot of 3D or much playing around with it is the battery within 1-2 hours loosely to its knees. In return, the device also loads quite quickly again (estimated 30 minutes to 1 hour without use). Who incidentally but further gambles on cable may well consume more energy than comes in. I have connected at 20% battery level, the power cable and 3D games played. After some time (about 30 minutes) I looked battery strength and realize he was ergo 12%, I have more energy than I have charged. However, this should actually never become a problem and -D is me even at very computation-intensive 3D games noticed so far.

- Processing
The device looks nice and seems rather simple .... as long as you see it in the pictures. In fact, the desing is more restrained, but the LG Optimus 3D is a fairly large device. I do not mind, because thus something of the screen is nice and big, but in itself it looks a little swollen.
It has above and below the display a narrow strip of metal suggests what garnicht itself (contrary to my expectation) times scho ugly. The strip is behind the show-off just right, the smartphone you lift up and back hatches out 2 cameras, as with a yellow marker marks so you can see it directly and an inscription "Stereoscopic 3D". It's really something here: -D
Besides these, the back is slightly rubberized, which I find very pleasant, who needs a flatterer. Also no undschönen columns can be seen and the terminal covers are very high quality and have a good time.
The back can be very easily removed with the small gap and the bottom but keeps after putting back properly fixed. However, all located between the edge keys One must once hintendrauf press so that the Close column.

- Sound
The speakers of the LG are behind what the consequence has that wen you put it on the table sets with the display facing up you have a very Dull sound. Also at play is covered with your finger often the sound slots which can sometimes be a bit annoying. The rIsK but to view quite good, but the speaker should not belong to the elite among the smartphones because it sounded a slightly Dull have in music. But but you can just use the included inEars or zugkaufen own if you like. The quality of InEars is all right but I'm not a fan ear or use it rarely. But as with all types of headphones that is a matter of taste and can exchange data with qualitative models in case of no assets.

- Wi-Fi, wireless and mobile suite
As the smartphone eintrudelte here the network was not activated, so I wanted to try the internet via Wi-Fi to the first apps. To my horror, the Wi-Fi did not work, however. Some research revealed that the Optimus models problems with some routers have the Speedport and Fritzbox. However, after some time Worked Perfectly it, and it works just fine until today. Now what exactly the problem was I do not know, unfortunately, but it might solve itself.

The wireless connection with Wi-Fi works great, even the mobile phone network is mostly optimal reception. Einbusen great transmission are therefore attributable to more than the network operator or the wireless routers.

Who will connect the Smartphone with the LG Suite to the PC, first has a wall in front of him. The software is included on the internal memory of the smartphone and can be copied to the USB cable to the PC.
After installation, one looks forward to USB or Bluetooth connection and synchronization ... but then the.
I have the LG USB connected, but it offers only a storage option. However, the software requires a suite mode from the phone.
Bluetooth a similar game, look at equipment are coupled but never connected. After some research, turned out there is a driver issue that can be fixed with a software LG (allegedly). But this I can not say anything because while trying to install this fix on 18/08/2011 a message aufpoppte not could continue to install the software for maintenance on LG server. This maintenance will last from 7.7.2011 until 11.7.2011. Something so is da duly wrong, but arises villeicht also in the near future.

- Supplied
Included with the device is:
- A USB cable
- A USB adapter sockets
- In-Ear Earphones (even my with headset)

The USB cable is therefore used as a power cable, which ansich no problem Währe ... if the cable is not so ultra Währe short. The USB cable is about 1 meter long, which is not really sufficient. Near to a power cable are 2-3 meters. Unfortunately, USB has mostly not so long transmission cable which has the consequence that it is very disadvantageous.

- What would I buy this
A recommendation on what to purchase as accessories definitely make it more fun.
- Cellphone Cases against Katzer and dirt (it's not a cheap smartphone)
- USB extension cable (so that the phone is charged sometimes on the table)
- Micro SD card, is worthwhile in any case, because internally villeicht 4 of the 8GB remain

- Conclusion
I have not listed everything by far, and much you just can not accept the technical specifications and 90% of the other reviews. I have described what are my impressions and what I noticed immediately and what burned me in advance before you buy at most under the nails. Understand this recession so rather than small review of some illusion but takes it with many a prejudice aufrämt.

The smartphone has far exceeded my expectations, it's fast, powerful runs smoothly and has some features not have other smartphones. "If you have an iPhone, then you have no iPhone" -> right and that's good: -D
