It’s not the first 3D smartphone from Sharp, but the AQUOS PHONE SH-12C big S unveiled [JP] is much cooler (if you think 3D in a phone is really necessary, that is). The company simply seems to have squeezed in everything they have into the Android device.
Here are the main bullet points:
Android 2.3
two 8MP CMOS cameras
3D video recording in 7201280 resolution (shooting 3D pictures is naturally possible, too)
3.2-inch front camera
4.2-inch naked-eye 3D display with 960540 resolution (“QHD”)
interfaces: HDMI, microSD
Wi-Fi (tethering is possible), GPS, Bluetooth, infrared
e-wallet function
digital TV tuner
size: 1276411.913.8mm, weight: 138g
Sharp plans to start offering the AQUOS PHONE SH-12C in Japan on May 20 (in black and white). The company hasn’t said anything about pricing and possible plans for international distribution yet.
