Currently on the market there are two major 3D phone players: the HTC EVO 3D and the LG Optimus 3D, both laden with dual cameras and autostereoscopic displays. However when you head over to Japan, a third option becomes available – the Sharp Aquos SH-12C; a little known 3D-capable device, powered by Android and also available for import into Western countries.
Thanks to our good friends at MobiCity we can take a look at how well the Aquos SH-12C fares in a western environment, how well the dual 8 megapixel rear cameras function, how novel having a 3D display and what it’s like to use a 3D phone from another region.
The standout feature of the Aquos here would have to be both the 4.2” qHD 3D display and the dual 8-megapixel cameras which best both the EVO 3D and Optimus 3D and their 5 MP offerings. We were a bit disappointed to discover that there's only a single-core CPU inside the device, but at 1.4 GHz with 512 MB of RAM it should hopefully be plenty.
The SH-12C does come with the correct 3G bands for Europe and Australia (900/2100), however the 1seg TV tuner that is also present in the device is completely useless. Luckily there is also an English option enabled out of the box.
