LG Optimus 3D 2 to be 50% thinner

WorldWide Tech Science. Francisco De Jesus.

It’s got a dual-core 1GHz processor, 8GB of internal storage, 1500mAh battery, and, of course, stereoscoping 5MP rear-facing cameras.



At nearly 12MM thick, it’ll take up one third more pocket space than a Samsung Galaxy S2.

That additional bulk has a lot to do with the Optimus 3D’s shooting abilities, of course. Next year, however, LG thinks things will be quite different.

LG tech evangelist Dr. Henry Noh says that the Optimus 3D 2 will go under the knife, slimming down to as little as 7MM in thickness when it hits retail shelves next year. Noh expects most smartphones to trim their profiles to 6MM or so, but he doesn’t expect that consumers would notice an extra millimeter on the Optimus 3D 2.
