Battle of the 3D Phones: HTC EVO 3D vs. LG Optimus 3D

23.07.2011

The Fujifilm camera scored the highest, receiving Good marks across the board. However, the majority of our panel noted that it was hard to focus on the image. One editor said that the foreground was "headachey," and that a slight flicker was evident. Another said that it was a bit dark, which is what kept it from getting an overall Very Good score.

Coming in second was the HTC EVO 3D, receiving a total score of Fair. Although the EVO 3D's image was easy to focus on, it seemed grainy. One editor remarked that the colors were brighter than those of the other test photos, but that they seemed oversaturated. The EVO 3D photo had good background depth compared with the other test images.

Coming in third, receiving a total score of Poor, was the LG Optimus 3D. This image was also easy to focus on, but we noticed some aliasing. Its colors looked really dark, and details in the image were fuzzy. As for 3D, we didn't see very much of the effect: The foreground had no "pop," as we saw with the other images.

Overall, we weren't blown away by the image quality from any of the cameras. You won't be shooting the next 3D blockbuster (Piranha 3D, anyone?) with any of these cameras in the near future.
