Taiwan’s leading smartphone maker HTC Wednesday launched its first 3D cellphone onto the local market, picking what a local telecom operator said was an opportune time ahead of the iPhone 5.

The HTC Evo 3D, which is already on sale in the US, carries a 4.3-inch touch screen and allows users to capture and play images that come across as being in three dimensions without the need for specially designed glasses.

The cellphone, which costs 21,900 Taiwan dollars (US$760), uses Google’s Andriod 2.3 platform and enables users to browse 3D images or play games in 3D.

South Korea’s LG Electronics launched a 3D mobile phone, LG Optimus 3D, earlier this year.
