Optimus 3D Max makes its debut in Europe

LG’s second-generation glasses-free 3D smartphone, the Optimus 3D Max, starts its worldwide release today, making its debut in Europe. We got our first look at the Optimus 3D Max a few months back at MWC 2012.

As you may remember, our first hands-on impressions were that this device felt a bit on the bulky side, but it is definitely notable that the Optimus 3D Max is 2 mm thinner and 20 grams lighter that the previous iteration.

“We are deliberately pushing the limits of mobile entertainment innovation with the Optimus 3D Max,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “This device has evolved significantly since we introduced the first Optimus 3D at Mobile World Congress in 2011. Our second generation glasses-free 3D smartphone is as thin and light as any other high-end smartphone while still delivering a spectacular picture in either 2D or 3D.”

Other features of this handset include a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB memory, 4.3-inch 3D WVGA display under a sheet of Corning Gorilla Glass 2, 8 GB internal storage, microSD support, two 5-megapixel rear-facing cameras, VGA front-facing camera, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

This device is set to hit Germany first. Unfortunately, pricing hasn’t been announced. According to LG, it will be priced on par with premium smartphones and exact prices will depend on the carrier.
