LG Optimus 3D Android Smartphone Goes with Dual-Core TI Chip

Unlike the LG Optimus 2X, unveiled at CES, the LG Optimus 3D announced for Mobile World Congress will be using a dual-core 1.0 GHz ARM-based OMAP processor from Texas Instruments rather than NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 CPU. In addition to a glasses-free 3D screen and the ability to capture images and video in 3D, the Optimus 3D also supports multiple codecs for video playback–a lot more than the current crop of Android smartphones on the market today. The device also has a 4.3-inch WVGA display, HDMI and DLNA support for video output to an HDTV, and dual-lens camera.

From the press release:

LG Optimus 3D
The LG Optimus 3D packs exceptional features with performance in mind, including an advanced dual-core, dual-channel and dual-memory architecture. Equipped with a 1GHz OMAP4 dual-core processor and four times more video decoders than competing designs, the LG Optimus 3D doubles the graphics performance of its nearest competitor allowing users to enjoy superb performance while web surfing, running applications and enjoying multimedia content. In addition, the LG Optimus 3D provides the world`s first full 3D experience covering the full spectrum from recording to viewing and sharing 3D content. It features a dual-lens camera that enables users to capture any moment in true 3D which can then be viewed immediately on the 4.3-inch WVGA glasses-free display. Multiple connectivity options including HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) also make it easy for users to transfer their recorded content to other devices.
