If the LG Thrill looks familiar, it is because we saw it at Mobile World Congress as the LG Optimus 3D. The At&T version is pretty much indentical, though there are a few tweaks to the UI. Slim and spohisticated, the Thrill is just as attractive as LG's other dual core phones, like the T-Mobile G2X amd the Optimus Black. It has a bright, crisp 4.3 inch display, which of course, supports 3D images and video.
You do not have to wear goofy glasses to see up to 720p 3D video on the Thrill. The effect, however, is disappointing. Images do not exactly leap out at you from the display and the quality is a bit grainy and odd looking.
The 4.3 inch display has a resolution of 800-by-400 pixels, compared to a sharper 960-by-540 screen on the EVO 3D and this difference is apparent. I prefer the experience on the HTC EVO 3D. But even so, I am still not sold on 3D smartphones.
The LG Thrill runs Android 2.2 (Gingerbread is coming, says AT&T) and comes with 16GB of onboard memory. HDMI out, and DLNA support. Pricing and availability have not yet been announced.
