HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) Review
The next round of smartphone wars will be in the 3D front. At the moment, it’s just between the LG Optimus 3D and the HTC Evo 3D. No word when these two will arrive in the Philippines but let’s look at what’s coming up.
Looks like 4.3 inches is the new standard among superphones and both the Optimus 3D and Evo 3D come in this form factor. While HTC has been doing a number of handsets in the 4.3-inch range, the Optimus 3D is LG’s first of this size.

Specs-wise (on paper that is), Evo 3D is more powerful. Twice the ram of the Optimus 3D, yeah! It even has 1700 mAh battery which i think would be good when using the 3D capabilities of the phone.
But there are only a handful of gadgets that could read stereoscophic 3D content without glasses..

LG shot me with Froyo.
Damn LG, keep up with the times :p
On paper evo 3d’s a beast. But price-wise, i’m sure LG will be coming out with it’s promos again, and im sure LG’s SRP will be lower than HTC’s.

HTC Evo for the win. It can knock out Optimus 3D just a mere look at the RAM.

LG only released LG Optimus 3D to be the first 3d capable phone just like LG Optimus 2X and then after that…toink! none of them performs well.

Wow, HTC panalo. :)
But if LG is priced 6K (or more) cheaper, may laban na din sya. :) Hehe.

the resolution of the evo 3d 4.3″ 3D @ 960×540 had me :) tired of the small 800×480 resolution even if its just a little :)

Its clear who’s the winner. HTC!!!
But if the SRP will be included, I think LG will win my vote.

HTC looks better right now on paper.
John Ray Cabrera says:
🥉 Bronze🏆1
so, essentially, LG only scored by a point on the storage drive space arena, everything else favored to HTC.
