LG Thrill 4G Released for AT&T
AT&T has finalized the much-anticipated LG Thrill 4G smartphone and arrived on AT&T's 4G LTE network last September 4. The Thrill 4G is a codename for version of AT&T “LG Optimus 3D” which was issued in Europe a few months ago. The AT&T-LG affiliation is a major breakthrough for both companies who are devising up for a worldwide smartphone-network face-off.
What’s Inside this Android Phone?
It is motorized by a 1 GHz dual-core processor under Android 2.2 (can be upgraded to Android 2.3 Gingerbread) with dual-channel memory of 16 GB capacity, amalgamated with 4.3-inch stereoscopic 3D display screen. This combination makes the LG Thrill one of the most rapid handsets we’ve seen to date. It entails 480x800 pixel resolution, a light sensor, proximity sensor and a capacitive touch screen with multi-touch navigation.
Moreover, it comes with a camera array containing dual 5-megapixel cameras (2.5 MP back-facing and 1.3 MP front-facing) capable of still captures and video records under 2D and 3D software manipulations simultaneously from two separate points of view. When recording in two dimensions, 1080P HD (1920x1080) resolution is provided and in three dimensions, 720P HD (1280X720) resolution is given. An additional third camera is supplemented for video chat functions.
An amazing feature of this product is that LG Thrill offers the ability to scrutinize and interact with a 3D display without wearing any headgears. This is due to the 3D hardware graphics accelerator which extrapolates through 360 degrees thus providing a high resolution and very realistic 3D image.
The question would be, “How does the glasses-free 3D work?” Holding the 3D button positioned on the right creates the magical property of this product by showing its parallax nature noshing our visions with 3D images without wearing glasses. To explain further, there lies an extra slit plate on top of the standard screen generating a different variation of images.
Observing the physical features, LG Thrill is actually made of plastic with a soft-touch coating at the back and a polished metal-like material on front altering the texture of the plastic.
In the entertainment domain, this gadget comes with plenty of 3D app support. The LG company also came in partnership with Gameloft company. It will convey with YouTube 3D together with 3D games namely: Asphalt 6, Let’s Golf 2, and NOVA. More 3D games can be obtained from the Gameloft 3D store while 3D movies can be downloaded from mSpot
