Samsung: ‘No Need’ For 3D Phones, But Good Luck With Them Anyway

Samsung’s head of product management in its UK mobile division has gone on record as saying the company has no plans to battle rival LG in the 3D mobile phone sector. There’s no point or demand and it makes phones needlessly thicker. That’s the summary. Here are his actual words:

“We are world leaders in 3D, but we haven’t seen a need for 3D on mobiles as yet … we just don’t see [3D]is needed yet—good luck to the innovators though, it will be interesting to see if it works, and if it does you’ll see a response from Samsung quickly”

So no plans, but it will hastily knock one together should LG’s Optimus 3D explode. [Techradar]
