LG Optimus 3D Max (2012): A Full Review – Part 3

However, the Korean electronics giants have done better with the operating system. All the mandatory apps, that the contemporary user wants, and some of the ICS-oriented applications like Mail, Search, Plus, Latitude, Play Store, Messenger, Maps with Navigation, Places, Talk, and YouTube are included in the handset.

3D-specific apps include four games (Asphalt 6, Let’s Golf 2, N.O.V.A., and Gulliver’s Travels), a 3D guide in case you need help, a 3D camera app for taking 3D photos and video, a 3D gallery to store said footage in, and a 3D Converter app.

The 3D converter is a big disappointment. It was touted to be one of the biggest apps in the new handset and yet kicking it in does nothing of much importance. The new application is supposed to convert the 2D apps into 3D by giving depth to the graphics but it does nothing of the sort. Like when the Maps were launched in 3D, the results were nothing more than 2D graphics that were hampered further.

3D graphics themselves are lacklustre at best. The depth is inconsistent and the viewing angle is very narrow. The extent of the hardship to enjoy a few minutes of 3D videos can be guessed from the experience of watching a 3D movie at fixed 16 inches and the phone should not be tilted to any degree. Playing 3D games is even worse as the hands are prone to move while playing.

The most important feature of the handset is the near-field communications chip, NFC, that communicates wirelessly with another NFC-enabled device in close proximity.
