New Android phone pops up running ICS 4.0.3; blows all phones out of the water

Jan 29, 2012 - 11:26 AM - by Timothy
Timothy's Avatar

A new Android device found its way on the benchmark NenaMark2, and it currently is #1. This is the highest score that has ever been logged for NenaMark2.

The device is running Android 4.0.3 and has a Qualcomm's 28nm Snapdragon S4 Krait MSM8960 SoC. This processor runs at 1.5GHz and the display is 1024x600 with an Adreno 225 GPU. What really catches my attention is that GPU. Wow. This GPU has an amazing 54.9 FPS. This beats the Samsung Galaxy S2, and its 46.2 FPS.

What do you think this mysterious device is, and what carrier do you think it will be headed for? I personally can't wait.

Cheers David H. for the tip!

Watch full flash videos on your Android device; including Hulu!

Flash Video Browser probably is the greatest thing to enter "hulu-frantic" people's lives. Tired of Hulu not releasing their own app to view non-member content? Flash Video Browser is the answer. Everything you do in a computer browser, you can do here. There is no subscription, all that is asked is $0.99 for the app.

Get is now!

Can the DROID RAZR MAXX run DROID RAZR ROMs and Leaks?; Oh Yes It Can!

Jan 26, 2012 - 6:17 PM - by Timothy
Timothy's Avatar

If you didn't know already, the DROID RAZR MAXX launched on Verizon today, with a HUGE battery. And thats about it. Hardware and software are all the same except for the battery. So what does this mean? It could possibly mean that the DROID RAZR MAXX can flash all builds and leaks the original DROID RAZR can.

Taking a look at the System Information of a DROID RAZR, you can tell it is exactly the same as the DROID RAZR (other sources, please confirm below).

System version: 6.11.748.XT912.Verizon.en.US
Model number: DROID RAZR
Android version: 2.3.5

HTC admits they made too many phones in 2011; 2012 has change coming

Jan 26, 2012 - 5:45 PM - by Timothy
Timothy's Avatar

2011 was a crazy year for Android devices. It seems almost every carrier was getting new Android devices almost everyday. Many OEM's are to blame, and that includes HTC. HTC UK today publicly admitted they released to many phones in 2012, and hope to enhance software and hardware for new devices, while releasing fewer smartphones.

So 2012 is about giving our customers something special. We need to make sure we do not go so far down the line that we segment our products by launching lots of different SKUs. - HTC UK Chief Phil Roberson
HTC also said they will sway away from tablets, and try to focus more on smartphones this year. +1 for HTC for admitting the... [Read More]
