what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here 3d is coming and it's coming quick and the latest addition to the glasses free stereoscopic 3d craze is this guy right here the LG Thrill coming sometime in the coming weeks for AT&T Wireless let's go ahead dig it so regardless of what you think about 3d technology whether you love it hate it or totally ambivalent there's very little denying the appeal of this phone it is a fully SPECT superfone coming in at a ninety nine dollar price point which really puts it in a class by itself so this came right from the folks at LG letting me know it's active and I'm letting you know that the phone is textually active so practice safe texting go ahead and pull that thing off that means it just has a sim card in here so here is the LG Thrill let you know there's a new little 3d icon right there all the boxes LG throw what's in it picture of advice a lot of cons of other stuff but it's more fun instead of reading what's in the box actually look what's in the box so I'll go ahead and open it up AT&T logo welcome to AT&T quick start guide and here is the LG Thrill a smudge marks on the screen looks like the PR folks put in the sim card went like this when they get it we're going to push this off to the side for just one quick moment and while I do push it off to the side I will boot it up say if the batteries got a charge and it does alright so that will boot up let's see what else we got in the box I had a chance take a look at this guy two weeks ago when I was in New York and I was came away pretty impressed the 3d on here in it so you've got your plug into the wall charger with the USB port blah blah blah pretty standard we've got a micro USB charging cable pretty standard and this guy not so standard for inclusion in the box this is actually the hdmi data cable so it's midi hdmi to standard hdmi it's nice that AT&T and LG included this so this comes standard with a $99 phone you get the hdmi cable which generally can run you twenty or thirty bucks crew to buy it separately for phone doesn't have it so all right enough of the accessories let's push all that business off to the side and here is the LG thrill let's go ahead and step in a little bit closer coming to come to my office all right somebody run through the specs real quickly this guy was probably a crazy zooming you're all super nauseous right now slide up to unlock hey look at that we slowed up to unlocked in the sim is not provisioned all right whatever that means okay so let me run through the specs real quickly it is a 4.3 inch screen as always measure diagonally it's a TFT display the resolution of 480 x 800 it is running android 2.2 not 2.3 presumably 2.3 will be coming the LG folks told me so but they didn't give a time frame for it it does have a dual core processor it is a Texas Instruments built dual-core chip with one gigahertz on each core it's got 512 megabytes of ram 8 gigabytes of storage space inside of course you can throw in a microSD card 32 gigs and up that 240 on the back which one it is one of these is a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera which can shoot video at 1080p I can record obviously in 3d I always think that the stereoscopic 3d cameras with the two and the flash in the middle or just commenting a robot face don't put like a little smiley face right there but it does have that it's got in addition to that a VGA front-facing camera micro USB 2.0 and all the rest of stuff you'd expect being powered by a 1500 milliamp hour battery so let's do a quick tour and walk through what zoom out a little bit more a little slower this time so I don't make anybody sick let's see what we got on a device so on the left hand side there's rural reports live under doors there is your charging port micro USB which is now standard there's at HDMI port when the cable is going to be included go and slide all those doors back nothing else lives here on the left hand side though you might confuse those for the volume rocker so I've gotta get used to the phone on the right-hand side there the volume rockers I can see it a little bit smaller but there are two of them for up and down obviously microphone on the bottom top 3.5 millimeter headset jack and the power and lock button in the upper right hand corner that's my preferred location I'm just used it sort of hitting it there that's definitely sort of me I might vary with you this is being cold the thrill 4g does have support for hspa+ so if you're in hspa+ area you should get some faster download speeds the back is sort of a soft touch rubber feel a big AT&T logo this is metal it is not a kickstand it's just sort of a nice little accent I suppose grill letting you know a stereoscopic and then there are the two little cameras so this guy bring some unique stuff to the table and whether or not you're interested in 3d are not interested in 3d just from a phone specification standpoint this is a pretty powerful phone and the 3d is just sort of an added bonus and you're getting a whole list for ninety nine dollars are looking at this and compare it to something like the evo 3d which can run you about two hundred dollars depending on where you get it sometimes a little bit less you're getting a pretty nice value here so it is android 2.2 and LG has been a little bit of tweaks to it so if you knew your little pinch to zoom anything here you can go ahead and move around all the screens or you can see all the screens you can do what you want with them so a little trash can as you hold it one more time click it and there's a little trash can so of course you can just drag that to it if you want you can also rearrange icons and add icons it's go to a screen doesn't have that much on here there we go you hold it down you get sort of a grid view in the background hopefully you can see that on camera and you get some of the stuff that you can do so finance and all dressed a sort of LG a little tweaks here social and there's some kind of customization that LG has done to it and the standard stuff so you got widgets shortcuts folders or wallpapers I'm going to exit out of this let me go and show you this 3d space and obviously the 3ds not going to translate and you're not going to see 3d but this does do some kind of cool things here so the resolution on this is 480 x 800 it's not the highest resolution screen this might be an instance of where a lower resolution is actually better stereoscopic 3d so you're going to have little larger pixels so text might not be as crisp as clear as other phones but that larger pixels are actually going to make the stereoscopic effect pop out a little bit better and you can actually see it when use the phone a 3d here well I wouldn't use 3d all the time it's still probably a little bit of a gimmick this is probably the best implementation I've seen of stereoscopic 3d so LG's got these for who knows how long and exclusive with YouTube 3d so you can film video in 3d on this you can upload directly to YouTube 3d as opposed to having to take a video tenda to your computer and that's when your computer go to youtube so 3d guide so I don't know that is going to check it out creating viewing cheering and connecting so that's regale your 3d content I should also mention too that there are four capacitive buttons here on the bottom typical Android ones you got your menu they light up and you touch them home back and search 3d games and apps this is going to take you to 3d games and apps I believe it comes going to come pre-loaded with some games so you've got asphalt Nova let's golf movies and go over is T I'm assuming his Gulliver's travel so you can see some game games here at our 3d games that are going to come pre-loaded on your device let's go ahead and go back 3d camera you can you guess what that is 3d gallery and YouTube 3d any questions you guys want to see the thrill you know be sure to let me know I'll let me do a real quick size comparison for you here it is with it's AT&T stablemate the iphone 4 go ahead and stack the side by side this is by no means a light phone certainly has a little bit of junk in its trunk it's not too heavy to carry it around but it's not the thinnest phone on the block here is another 4.3 inch device this is the hd7 s also for eighteen eighty you've ever seen one of these guys you should get a good sense of what the LG thrill 4g looks like almost identical the thrill definitely being a little bit heavier and finally the last phone here is the HTC status and see these two guys next to each other and kaboom so there you go unboxing of the LG Thrill it's going to be available sometime that coming weeks for that ninety nine dollar price point i'm jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo and i'll see you guys or talk to you at least in the next video you
