Gingerbread update for LG Optimus 3D starts rolling out next week
Remember that early Gingerbread ROM for the LG Optimus 3D? Sure, it was in a state too crude to be used on a daily basis, but it was good for one thing, namely spoiling the surprise by revealing what goodies the upcoming update is about to bring.
Well, the Gingerbread update for the LG Optimus 3D is now officially starting to roll out next week, November 21 to be precise. Europeans who own and unlocked version of the smartphone will be the first to try it out, yet additional markets and handset variations will be added to the list by the year's end.
What the Gingerbread update adds is pretty much what we already know thanks to the aforementioned leak. Editing footage on the Optimus 3D will be possible thanks to the inclusion of a 3D video editor, and the video stabilization feature will be available in both 3D and 2D modes. In addition, the performance of the Gallery app has been boosted, while the MP3 playback time has been extended. Not to be forgotten are the faster 21Mbps HSPA+ connectivity that the LG Optimus 3D is about to get, and all of the improvements that Android 2.3 Gingerbread brings to the platform.
So, if you happen to be an LG Optimus 3D owner, now you have something pretty exciting to look forward to. For further details, do not hesitate to check out the full press release below.
