The handful of 3D smartphones we’ve seen tipped so far have only ever been planned for release in Eastern countries like Japan, but Sharp has said it’ll bring models to the US in 2011.
3D phones may not be too far from UK shelves as Sharp reveals that it plans to ship 3D phones to the US next year. 3D phones have so far been thought of as ultra-niche devices that won’t make it to release outside of Japan and Korea, but now that the US is tied into the 3D smartphone fad, the European market can’t be too far behind.
Sharp has unveiled several 3D models so far, powered by the Android OS. The Sharp Lynx SH-OC3 features a 9-megapixel camera and Android 2.1, while two Galapagos-series smartphones come with a 9.6-megapixel camera and 8-megapixel camera plus Qwerty keyboard. Which of these will make it onto US shelves? As yet we don’t know, but it marks one more tantalising step towards a UK release. And that’s something we’re looking forward to, even if 3D phones end up as popular as watch phones.
