LG Expected to Intro 3D Smartphone at MWC Next Month

Any time a big announcement or event is coming up, companies involved love to tease us. HTC did it before CES, and with Mobile World Congress coming up in just a few weeks, it’s not surprising that we’re starting to see some hints dropping of what may be in store for us. This time around, it’s LG giving some previews of what we might expect to see announced at MWC…and in this case, it seems to be 3D handsets.

LG’s invitation to their showing at MWC teases the line “Into the New Dimension,” and when you couple that with their statement at CES that 3D handsets would be making an appearance “sooner than we might expect,” and it’s almost a certainty that 3D handsets will be shown off at MWC in a couple of weeks.

To add a little more fuel to that fire, several sites are reporting on short-lived ad on a Dutch retailer’s website for the LG Optimus 3D. While any of these indicators alone could easily be dismissed as unsubstantiated rumor, all of them combined makes it seem pretty likely that we’re gonna see our first 3D handset in Barcelona. We’ll be watching for the announcement, and we’ll bring you any information we can get our hands on as soon as possible.

    I am a little wary of having 3d on every screen. It’s bad enough that we have game consoles and television and theaters but now phones? I just hope they don’t try to put this on every phone.
