Samsung Announce 3D Phone

Samsung Announce First Device with 3D Capable Display

Unfortunately for those of us based within the European market, this device is currently only available in Korea. Whilst we wouldn't ordinarily focus on such devices, the Samsung W960 AMOLED 3D is the first device to launch with a 3D capable screen, and therefore it merits some attention.

The 3D function on the Samsung W960 can be switched on or off easily enough via a dedicated shortcut key, and there is no need for any special glasses to view the 3D visuals. As well as being 3D capable, the display is a low power consumption 3.2 inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen supporting up to 16 million colours. The handset runs Samsung’s user friendly TouchWiz 2.0 UI, and also has gesture control and an accelerometer for auto display rotation.

Fully compatible with HSPA networks, the Samsung W960 also includes DMB TV technology, which allows you to watch digital media broadcasts streamed straight to the device. Add in HSPA high speed data technology, Bluetooth, 3.2 Megapixel camera, email and web on the move and you’ve got a pretty good all round package.

But the main point is all around the 3D capabilities. So the burning question is this; when will we be getting 3D phones in the UK?
