The Sharp LYNX 3D has a 3.8-inch touchscreen (800×480 resolution) with a vertically zoned parallax barrier, enabling naked-eye 3D viewing, a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, a 9.6 MP camera with 720p video recording, and it runs on Android 2.1. Sharp also threw in Japan-specific features, such as a OneSeg digital TV tuner or an e-wallet function.

The LYNX 3D converts 2D pictures to 3D by software processing. It can switch between 2D and 3D display with one touch. From now on, 3D content for the LYNX 3D will also be available from DOCOMO Market, which provides application downloads for smartphones. Buyers can also expect some pre-installed 3D content, such as games.

The LYNX 3D will be released in December in three colors: Blue, White and Black, with an upgrade to Android 2.2 planned for Spring 2011.

Japanese carrier KDDI has announced the Sharp IS03, a handset with a 1GHz Snapdragon QSD8650 processor and 9.6-megapixel camera. The KDDI IS03 supports Global Passport CDMA, runs Android 2.1 (will most likely get a Froyo upgrade sooner or later) and has 3.5-inch 960×640 resolution, which Apple popularized as Retina Display.

Sharp IS03 will unfortunately not be distributed outside Japan, but hopefully we’ll see Android phones featuring such hi-res screens before long in the rest of the world as well.

The new Sharp SH-01A will have a 8 Megapixel camera with a 28mm wide-angle lens, along with the CCD sensor. The wide angle means that the photos you take with this phone will have a better quality, even compared with other devices that deliver an 8MP camera.

Sharp’s SH-01A will bring users Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound for your microSD stored media.
