Images and specifications for the LG Optimus 3D II (aka CX2) have apparently been leaked, revealing an updated processor, new screen and a slimmer chassis than its predecessor.

According to Pocketnow, the LG Optimus 3D II will run on Texas Instruments 1.2GHz dual-core processor and feature a brand-new display, upgraded from the original phone's 4.3in WVGA screen.

The touchscreen for the new smartphone will still be the same size, but apparently it will now feature a NOVA Display, a new energy efficient technology by LG that ramps up the brightness of the screen to make it visible in all conditions and from multiple viewing angles.



The device is said to be 2mm thinner than the previous model and will come equipped with NFC technology for touch payments. The phone will also feature DLNA-capable 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and a 5 megapixel front-facing camera capable of recording HD 3D video. Unlike its predecessor, the 3D II will also be able to convert 2D objects to 3D.

The successor to the LG Optimus 3D is expected to be revealed in all its glory at the Mobile World Congress, which kicks off on the 27th February in Barcelona.

If it's anything like the Optimus 2x then you'll need to wait 12 months, root the phone & install a 3rd party rom in order to get it working reliably. :) LG = great hardware, poo software

Same for their TV's and Blurays players. Great hardware, not very good software support.

Wonder what the actual sales figures were for the original LG Optimus 3D, I thought it was a flop and was surprised to see LG bothering with a follow up.

Beat me to it - I too thought the original LGO3D was a flop - certainly judging by the number of them appearing in “special offer” deals at CPW and P4U. I'd appreciate someone explaining what the big deal is with the 3D on a phone though - just sounded like a needless gimmick to me. :secret:

Whilst heaping scorn on LG, I'm not that impressed with the monitor of that brand I bought last year either. No VESA mounting, nor auto-input switching neither - and abysmal vertical viewing angles rounds off that particular mud pie. Heck, if I could find an easy way to get a couple of £££ for it then I'd trade in/up in a heartbeat.

I will defend LG hardware. We got a free 22" TV with a phone contract that is of very high quality, since then we have an :
LG direct drive washing machine - again very nice and good for a washing machine
LG 3D Bluray, works very well and one of the few that stream files over DNLA like it claims.
and recently a LG 3D smart TV, which after much tweaking is working very well.

I think LG are pretty good and they seem to get some stuff right, just not mobiles.

You'll probably still end up with an LG screen though.
