LG Optimus 3D Max and ZTE Mimosa X are two new handsets recently announced by LG and ZTE respectively. With the two handsets being announced in the same month, speculations started rising and forums started debating whether the Optimus 3D Max is the better of the two. One thing is for sure though, both the handsets are powerhouses.
The Optimus 3D Max stands out, because it’s a 3D phone with a 4.3 inch 3D capacitive touchscreen display. The ZTE Mimosa X on the other hand, has a qHD display of unknown size and resolution. The display size is speculated to be about the same as Optimus 3D Max. If you are someone who prefers a great camera in your handset and if you are left with these two as the only choices, then LG Optimus 3D Max is your best bet, as it sports a dual 5 Megapixel rear camera with autofocus, LED flash, video stabilization, 1080p full HD and 720p HD video recording at 30 fps.
The Mimosa X sports a decent 5 Megapixel camera but its features aren’t known as of yet. Both the handsets are reported to feature VGA cameras at the front. The significant difference is in the OS and the processor. The Optimus 3D Max will be running in Android v2.3 Gingerbread version while the Mimosa X is an ICS based handset. However, there will be an ICS update for the 3D Max, quite soon after it’s launched.
Powered by a Cortex A9 processor of 1.2 GHz clockspeed, Optimus 3D Max also equips PowerVR GPU. The source of Mimosa X’s power is the NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, with the clockspeed and other hardware details unrevealed. But it’s been reported that the Mimosa X equips a NVIDIA Icera 450 HSPA+ modem. So the phone basically has its own modem rather than being one, which is advantageous in a number of ways.
A clear victor cannot be determined unless and otherwise users get a hands-on experience with these super sleek devices. But for the moment, LG Optimus 3D Max dominates the ZTE Mimosa X, which might likely change once the handsets are released.
