Stereoscopic 3D is catching on in more phones as gadget makers try to outdo each other in a technological arms race, where what matters is how much pack into a tiny device.

The display runs a resolution of 960 pixels by 540 pixels — compared to the iPhone 4’s retina display, which is 960 by 640 pixels. The 3D camera consists of a pair of 5-megapixel cameras — similar to most other smartphones on the market.
Like the Nintendo 3DS, the 3D display does not require 3D glasses to display 3-dimensional images. There is a switch that triggers whether the display shows 3D images or 2D images, like the Nintendo 3DS. The phone will be available this summer on Sprint.
