Sharp Aquous Phone SH-12C Android smartphone packs 3D cameras

Pioneers of the world’s first glasses-free 3D smartphone, Sharp are back with another Android phone. Called the Aquos Phone SH-12C, this Android device is designed to let you enjoy 3D content while on the go, and will even let you create your own if you get bored of what you have. But what sets this phone apart from other devices capable of shooting 3D footage is that it packs dual 8megapixels rear cameras as opposed to the 5megapixels we’ve come to expect.

And if 3D isn’t your thing, the cameras can be used to capture non-3D HD video footage or photographs as well. The phone runs on a 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 processor, has a 4.2″ qHD (540 x 960) display, 512MB of RAM, 2GB ROM, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. It will also feature Android Gingerbread out of the box (yay). The phone will be arriving on NTT DoCoMo in Japan, May 20^th. No word if it’ll reach our shores, but it’ll be interesting to see how it goes against the other 3D phones in the market since Sharp were the first ones to make such technology available to consumers.
