LG Electronics is touting 3D smartphones as an alternative to handheld game devices.
The company launched its LG Optimus 3D phone yesterday in South Korea after beginning a global release last month covering more than 60 markets including Spain and Britain. No special glasses are needed to view the phone's 3D content.
Park Jong-seok, CEO of LG's mobile communications business, said that 3D smartphones such as the Optimus can hold their own against dedicated handheld gaming platforms.
"The era of dedicated handheld gaming is over," he said in a release.
Success with the 3D phone would be welcome for the South Korean company, which has been struggling to overcome weakness in mobile phones. LG's mobile unit has suffered four straight quarterly operating losses.
LG Electronics Co is the world's third-largest mobile phone manufacturer behind Nokia and Samsung.
LG unveiled the new device, its first 3D smartphone, earlier this year at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Spain.
LG said the phone comes pre-installed with three full versions of games from Gameloft including "Asphalt 6: Adrenaline."
The LG Optimus 3D can record and play back 3D content. LG is not alone in launching such a phone. Taiwan's top smartphone maker HTC Corp is also out with its EVO 3D smartphone
