The next generation of 3D smartphones has begun to drop here just one year after we first saw similar devices drop at Mobile World Congress 2011. It appears that LG will be the first big manufacturer to come back swinging with a new Optimus 3D, this time called the LG Optimus 3D Cube complete with 3D video editing.
It’s been awhile since we’ve had a good T-Mobile leak round these parts, but today may have changed that. Thanks to TMoNews , we now see a few devices that will soon be making their way to the carrier, as revealed in this accessory inventory list.
Samsung has reigned supreme in Twitter buzz relating to Mobile World Congress, but one week before the start of the show, HTC has leaped over the Korean handset giant on news of a new “superphone” being unveiled in Barcelona, according to social media number cruncher Anltyk . MoDaCo and several other gadget blogs have recently begun leaking details of the HTC One X or Endeavor , an ultra-skinny Android 4.0 device, which could be the world’s first smartphone to contain Nvidia’s Tegra 3 quad-core processor.
If you’re a Verizon Wireless customer or looking to become one, the carrier is offering two of its latest 4G LTE handsets, the LG Spectrum and HTC Rezound, for $99.99 each with a two-year agreement. Both handsets run a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and impressive qHD displays.
There is something extravagant about the release of a new game system: the promise of new and previously unheard of software experiences…hardware that is faster, better, and more capable. It is something that will be around for years and thus promises a level of quality generally reserved for far more expensive equipment.
There is no denying that quad-core processors are the next big thing in mobile, but new benchmark tests suggest we shouldn’t be sleeping on the next generation of dual-core CPUs. AnandTech got their hands on a developer device sporting Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 platform and the results simply blew away the competition.
While many of us are big fans of flashing our smartphones with custom ROMs , whether that’s to remove restrictions, add new features, or check out the latest version of the operating system, the vast majority of us stick to keeping our phones on the same platform. Sure, there are notable exceptions, like the HTC HD2 which has come to support nearly every mobile OS under the sun, but most stay within their families.
The crew over at Anandtech got a hold of a developer unit from Qualcomm that runs their Snapdragon S4 processor, aka the Krait, and put it through a series of benchmarks. This is the MSM8960 chipset that is dual-core and clocked at 1.5GHz.
After years of trying to build a smartphone worthy of reinventing the world famous RAZR brand , Motorola finally launched a handset it deemed to be deserving of the moniker last November. The DROID RAZR was released on November 11th and was a marvel compared to the flip phone it modernized.
Verizon’s in a good mood for some reason. Perhaps it’s due to the fact that they just finished one of their best quarters ever last year.
