The Samsung i897 -- better known to you as the Samsung Galaxy S -- looks like it's well on its way to AT&T, thanks to a recent leak. Some of the hardware specs confirmed by the source is that the phone will sport a 5-megapixel camera, a 4-inch AMOLED screen and a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The speed of the processor isn’t yet confirmed, but, with the similarities between this...
Whether you were waiting for an HTC device on Verizon, counting down the days until your contract expired, or just in the market for something new, today is the day you can head online to Verizon Wireless and pre-order the HTC Droid Incredible. Everything tells us it was worth the wait, it looks like another awesome Android device. Snapdragon, SenseUI, 3.7-inch AMOLED, 8-megapixel...
Some great stuff rolls in during the wee hours, and this is a doozy. An actual demonstration video of the one and only Droid Incredible by the fellas at nerdstalkertv, shot during the 99% conference in New York. It's an awful nice walk through of the software, and it really shows just how fast this phone is. There's not much we haven't figured out already, but who cares? It's a...
South Korean manufacturer (erm, of handsets, not South Koreans) Pantech announced the Sirius, its third Android device. Reportedly "in talks" to bring the phone to Verizon and/or AT&T, the Sirius sports a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen, Adobe Flash, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 5MP camrea, 500MB of storage memory WiFi and Android 2.1, all tucked into a neat little 11.5mm-thick...
We just reported on the LG Aloha and now we have some speculative pictures that point this South Korean LG LU2300 Android device (pictured above) as the actual Aloha. Remember, the Aloha is purported to be the next great Android device with one new wrinkle: it has a full QWERTY keyboard. A QWERTY keyboard is found on the LU2300 along with a 800x480 screen and Android 2.1, both which...
Anybody in the mood for 10.1 inches of Android? 'Cause that's what HP just announced in the Compaq AirLife 100. And it's not lacking for specs. It sports the aforementioned 10.1-inch screen, Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon processor, a 92 percent full-size keyboard, a 16-gigabyte solid-state drive, SD card reader, WiFi and 3G wireless, GPS, a VGA web cam and up to 12 hours of battery life....
If you're a person who demands the best out of your smartphone, we think we just found your next device: the HTC Scorpion. AndroidSPIN has received a leaked build file that details this device and it's a doozy: the Scorpion runs Android 2.2 on a 1.5 GHz Snapdragon Processor with support for WiMAX. That means it pretty much outspecs every device currently on the market and sets a new...
Episode 2 of Google's behind-the-scenes look at the Nexus One is now available. The second part of the five-part series takes a look at the AMOLED display and 3D framework of the device. Check it out after the break. [Part 1]
We've known that Dell was making an Android Tablet for quite some time but official details have been rather slim. Luckily, some enterprising user hasn't just gotten their hands on a Dell Mini 5 Tablet but gave it the old fashioned video teardown to boot. We now know that the Dell Mini 5 Tablet will pack a 1GHz Snapdragon Processor, 1530mAh battery, 3G SIM Card slot, 2 MicroSD slots,...
While we await the eventual appearance of the Android-powered Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 (and some people are less hopeful than others), Canadian carrier Rogers has said it will launch the X10 in the second quarter, making it the first North American carrier to do so. "At Rogers, we have built our legacy on innovation, bringing the most exciting and exclusive handsets first to customers...
Let's get a few things straight regarding the almighty Nexus One, shall we? There is no "Google Phone." As of this writing, the only semi-official name out there is the Nexus One. "Google Phone" is what it's been dubbed because Google reportedly may go it alone, bypassing carriers. But that's looking increasingly unlikely. That and it sounds good. And with Google's simple branding,...
Thank you Twitter. Or more specifically, thank you Cory O'Brien's Twitter for snapping a picture of the Nexus One aka Google Phone and posting it for all to see. The Nexus One (doesn't exactly roll off the tongue) looks exactly like the HTC Passion/Dragon we saw months ago, which gives credence to the idea that the Google Phone is simply a re-branded HTC Passion/Dragon. Interestingly...
The Acer Liquid A1 -- which we recently saw start shipping in the UK -- made a visit to the Federal Communications Commission in October, and it brought AT&T's 3G bands with it. That's right, the 850 and 1900MHz bands are there, alongwide the 3.5-inch WGVA touchscreen, 1GHz Snapdragon processor and the usual fare. That doesn't mean that AT&T will ever sell the thing, though we'...
Things are all cyclical, aren't they? First, T-Mobile was the early adopter and only supporter of Android, then Sprint stole the shine by releasing the HTC Hero, then Verizon took them all to town with the release and ad onslaught of the Motorola DROID. Now there's rumors flying around that point both the HTC Passion and Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, two highly anticipated Android phones...
The wait for the infamous HTC Passion – the Taiwanese manufacturer's first Android 2.0 phone sporting a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and 3.5-inch OLED touchscreen with multitouch (squee!) – may take a little longer than first believed. "Market sources" apparently have said that the Passion (and that's likely just going to end up as the code name, btw) has been pushed back to "early 2010"...
One of the biggest selling points of the Acer Liquid, Acer's first Android phone, was the 1GHz Snapdragon Processor that would've powered the puppy. It would've been a first for Android phones and easily would have outpaced all other Android devices. Unfortunately, from this leaked slide detailing the Liquid, it looks like the Acer will underclock its Snapdragon processor and have it...
It looks like the mystery of the HTC Android device above is about to get solved. When we first spotted the device, it was rocking the 1GHz Snapdragon processor (that's about to re-define speed on a mobile device) and was called the HTC Dragon. Now, as more information comes about, it looks like the device above is the HTC Dragon but in CDMA form, re-named the HTC Passion. It looks...
With the hype of the HTC Hero officially stolen by the new Android-focused, iPhone attacking Verizon commercials, we're wondering what HTC has in store for future Android phones. And we consider it wonderful timing to see a brand new, completely unknown HTC Android phone pop up. What could this HTC Android device be? From what we can gather, the screen looks to be magnificent, the...
The biggest selling point of the Acer Liquid Android Phone will likely be its 1GHz Snapdragon Processor that’s going to run laps around current Android phones. It’s easy to forget that the Acer Liquid will have other features like a screen with an 800x400 resolution or a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus—this phone is going to have it all. And look at that hardware—the build quality...
