 Hey, it's Chris at The Verge, and we're looking at LG's latest 3D handset, the Optimus 3D Max. Now, it bears a striking resemblance to the old Optimus 3D, and there's a very good reason for that. It's basically the same phone. It's being billed as the world's thinnest here at 9.6 millimeters, but the screen really looks and feels exactly the same to me as the Optimus 3D that I've used before. You can press and hold the button on the side labeled 3D here to get into what they call the 3D space, and if you own an Optimus 3D, this screen looks very familiar to you. I know, unfortunately, you can't really appreciate the 3D effect on this video here, but hopefully you get sort of a vague idea of what they're trying to do with this carousel. And the effect is very similar to other eyeglass-free 3D phones that you may have seen or used in the past. It's this lenticular effect, so the resolution is notably decreased. You have kind of a vertical bar effect across the screen, and if you go like this with the phone, you're going to get some artifacts as you go from side to side, but that's to be expected. It's no different from any other lenticular display. So another cool feature is the ability to upconvert 2D games into 3D, and the effect is surprisingly convincing. Here we have Angry Birds, and you're used to seeing it in 2D, but it's actually really convincing. The sprites, the platform are very clearly and visibly in front of the background of the game. There are four capacitive buttons along the bottom, which kind of gives you an indication that this was designed from the start for Android 2.3, and indeed it is running Android 2.3 out of the box. However, LG is promising an ICS update, so hopefully we'll see that sooner rather than later. On the front and back you have the two camera lenses so that you can capture 3D video and stills, LED flash in the center, and that's about it. Certainly not as attractive a device as the 4X or even the L7, but if you're dying for 3D, eyeglass-free 3D in a phone, this is the latest and greatest option. So there we have the Optimus 3D Max from LG.
