The HTC Evo 3D launched for sale today, June 24, at 8AM. It is the first no-glasses 3D smartphone on the market and touts numerous features supported by its 3D capabilities.
The device contains a 4.3-inch Quarter High Definition touchscreen display and dual 5-megapixel cameras that can snap photos and take videos in both 3D and 2D. The Evo 3D is governed by the Android 2.3 “Gingerbread” operating system.
Software on the system will also be optimized for 3D, including the HTC Watch App, HTC’s new video streaming service, the full film “The Green Hornet 3D” for free, and the ability to download 3D games and other content.
The Evo 3D will receive competition soon, however, from the LG Thrill 4G, AT&T’s first 3D phone to launch some time later this summer.
The Thrill 4G will also feature a 4.3-inch touchscreen display and dual 5-megapixel 3D-capable cameras. The Thrill 4G will run on Android 2.2 “Froyo” but will be upgradable to 2.3, and includes its own slew of 3D features, like preloaded 3D games, Youtube 3D, and other 3D content through the on-demand online service mSpot.
No price details or a specific release date for the Thrill 4G has been announced by AT&T. The HTC Evo 3D is selling for $200 with a new two-year service agreement.
