LG Optimus 3D selling for 20K on the Mobile Store

The Optimus 3D was the first 3D Android phone to launch and we quite liked how the brand implemented 3D in this handset. However, the high price proved to be a turn off for many and also the fact that there wasn’t a huge collection of 3D content available at the time. However, if you’re still after this handset, then you’ll be glad to know that the price has just plummeted to a crazy 19,999. The Mobile Store is currently offering the Optimus 3D at this price, although you can find other dealers and distributors selling it for slightly more. This makes it an excellent buy; if you own a 3D TV, you can view your pictures on the big screen. Flipkart and other sites haven’t yet reflected this price drop, but it’s only a matter of time.

Going cheap

The Optimus 3D was the first handset to come equipped with a 3D mobile camera to record 3D content. It’s also the world’s first dual-core, dual-channel and dual-memory architecture equipped smartphone. LG incorporated a 3D UI as well, for media and gaming and the device also allows users to manually choose the level of 3D, according to their personal preference. In standard 2D mode, the Optimus 3D can capture video in full HD i.e. 1080p and while in 3D mode it drops to 720p.
