We’re sick of the iPhone, too. Despite antenna issues, Draconian app store rules and an engineered inability to run Flash content, Apple’s flagship smartphone has done to the smartphone market what the Romans once did to Europe.
The good news: Now a marauding horde of smartphone manufacturers under the flag of Google Android are back for their turf, and they’re not just cobbling together iPhone-wannabes anymore. From the world’s first dual-screen smartphone to a phone with all the processing power of a laptop – and a dock that turns it into one – these next-generation smartphones will all bring something totally unique to the battlefield when they arrive soon.
LG Optimus 3D
The pitch: The 3D craze that has been raging on televisions for the last year finally reaches the small screen with the world’s first 3D smartphone. No glasses needed, just gaze into the 4.3-inch LCD and 3D content comes to life. As if that weren’t enough, dual 5-megapixel cameras in the rear allow you to capture 3D video in 1080p, for playback right on the phone, or a 3D TV via HDMI.
Skeptic’s slant: 3D seems questionable enough on a television, on a phone it’s almost comically frivolous. Adding depth to a screen you have to touch could actually make the phone harder to use, and experience also tells us that viewing 3D content on a screen this small typically lacks the punch that has made 3D a hot seller in theaters.
Availability: LG only announced the Optimus 3D on Monday at Mobile World Congress, so both price and availability remain a question mark for the time being.
