Rogers Scores Exclusive Rights To The RAZR HD LTE In Canada, Coming 'This Fall'

Posted by in Motorola, News, RAZR HD / RAZR MAXX HD, Rogers

The past hour has been full of Motorola this, and RAZR that for most of us here in the US, but what about our brothers (and sisters) to the north? If you want some RAZR HD love, Rogers is the place to be. The only place to be, in fact, at least for an LTE version of the device.

Motorola just announced that the newly-unveiled RAZR HD will be making its Canadian debut exclusively on Rogers Wireless in all of its 4.7" glory. The device is virtually identical to Verizon's offering:

  • 4.7" SAMOLED HD 720p display with Gorilla Glass
  • 1.5GHz dual-core processor (most likely MSM8960 Snapdragon)
  • Android 4.0.4
  • Rogers 4G LTE
  • 1GB RAM
  • Bluetooth 4.0
  • 16GB (12GB usable) internal storage for HD
  • 8MP rear camera, 1.3MP front camera
  • microSD slot
  • 2500mAh battery for RAZR HD
  • NFC-enabled (no mention of Wallet)
  • Android 4.0

Much like the US Droid RAZR HD, there's no certain release date yet, only that it will be release "this fall."

DROID RAZR And MAXX HD For Verizon Official: 4.7" 720P Display, 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4, Android 4.0

Posted by in 4G, News, RAZR HD / RAZR MAXX HD, Verizon Wireless

Verizon is presently announcing its brand-new smartphone lineup, and they've started with the DROID RAZR HD, and its MAXX sibling.

Both are sporting 4.7" SAMOLED Gorilla Glass displays, but Motorola says they have the same size footprint as the original RAZR, which is pretty impressive. The S4 Snapdragon dual-core processor powers these devices, and they will run Android 4.0 out of the box. Motorola, however, has said both will have Jelly Bean before the year's end. They will be available "before the holidays" according to Verizon.

R253983_958x1720 Vanquish_Front_2, 4/2/12, 11:20 AM, 8C, 4886x2658 (426+2898), 100%, Custom, 1/15 s, R78.4, G67.1, B99.8<br />

Here are the specs in a slightly more readable format, at least what we know of them:

DROID RAZR HD / MAXX Specs

  • 4.7" SAMOLED HD 720p display with Gorilla Glass
  • 1.5GHz dual-core processor (most likely MSM8960 Snapdragon)
  • Android 4.0.4
  • Verizon 4G LTE
  • 1GB RAM
  • Bluetooth 4.0
  • 16GB (12GB usable) internal storage for HD, 32GB (26GB usable) for MAXX HD
  • 8MP rear camera, 1.3MP front camera
  • microSD slot
  • 2500mAh battery for RAZR HD, 3300mAh for MAXX HD (21 hours talk time, 10 hours video streaming, 27 hours music steaming)
  • NFC-enabled (no mention of Wallet)

Other than that, there isn't much to know - Moto was pretty scant on details.

Posted by in News, RAZR M, Verizon Wireless

Motorola unveiled a trio of new handsets today: the Droid RAZR HD, RAZR MAXX HD, and RAZR M (too much caps lock, Motorola!). While the first two focus on large 4.7" HD displays, the latter is all about packing as much display possible into a small shell.

253970 253969

Specs:

  • 4.3" 540x960  display with "almost no borders" (is this the bezel-less device that we've been hearing about? Let's hope not) and Gorilla Glass
  • 1.5GHz dual-core processor
  • 1GB RAM
  • 8GB storage, microSD card slot
  • 4G LTE connectivity
  • 8MP rear shooter
  • NFC

[IFA 2012] Huawei Shows Off 4 New Phones, 2 Tablets All Headed For Availability By End Of Year

Posted by in Ascend D1 Quad XL, Huawei, MediaPad 10 FHD, News

Huawei's list of announcements for this year's IFA conference is busting at the seams with a whopping four phones and two tablets, all with different screen sizes, specs, and prices, all slated for a 2012 introduction to the German market, with launch in other markets to follow, though we aren't privy to specific dates for other regions.

Phones

Ascend D1 Quad XL

The lovingly named Ascend D1 Quad XL is by all accounts the leader of Huawei's new smartphone pack, packing a 4.5" with an extremely impressive 330ppi density (and unknown resolution), a 1.2GHz K3V2 ARM quad-core processor built by Huawei, a 2600mAh battery, 8MP camera with 1.3MP front shooter, and a microSD slot for an extra boost of internal memory.

Archos 101 XS Review: Too Many Compromises In A Suddenly Competitive Budget Market

Posted by in 101 XS, ARCHOS, Reviews, Tablet Reviews, Tablets

"Unique" is the name of the game with the Archos 101 XS. Just about every design decision goes against the status quo. Most tablets are made out of aluminum or plastic, but Archos went with stainless steel and a plastic rim. It's a tablet-laptop hybrid, but there's no hinge, everything is held together with a kickstand and some magnets. The included keyboard dock also doubles as a magnetic cover. At a time when some Android OEMs are accused found guilty of doing little more than firing up a photocopier, some out-of-the-box thinking is very much appreciated.

It's only $400 for the tablet and keyboard, so we're firmly in budget territory here.

MetroPCS Announces The LG Motion For $150, As Well As A $55 Unlimited LTE Data Plan

Posted by in MetroPCS, News

If affordable phones, unlimited 4G LTE data, and no contracts are all things that appeal to you, then today's announcement from MetroPCS may be of interest.

For starters, the pay-as-you-go company announced the LG Motion, a new mid-range device that will run on its 4G LTE network. It didn't give a lot in way of specs, but the device features a 3.5" display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, and Android 4.0 for $150. Small, powerful, and more affordable that other carriers' on-contract pricing. Not bad.

More interestingly, the company also announced a new all you can eat 4G LTE data plan for $55 per month for a single line.

[Update: Here Are The Winners] Giveaway: Win A Champagne Transformer Prime 32GB With Dock Or One Of Ten Video Locker Pro Licenses From Android Police And Handy Apps

Posted by in Contests / Giveaways, Eee Pad Transformer Prime
Last Updated: August 19th, 2012

While most Android fans are clamoring to get their hands on a new Nexus 7, there are still those who prefer the size and feel of a 10" tablet. And for good reason: a 7" tablet is fantastic for reading, surfing the web, and even watching movies, but it's just lacking much-needed screen real estate when it comes to productivity.

Speaking of productivity, who wants a free Transformer Prime with dock? Good, because we have one to give away. Keep reading to find out how to enter.

A few weeks ago, Handy Apps gave us a couple of Nexus 7s to give away in a promotion for their new app, called Photo Locker.

U.S. Cellular Announces Two New Motorola Smartphones: The Electrify 2 And Defy XT

Posted by in Motorola, News, US Cellular

If you're just not happy with the current selection of Android devices on U.S. Cellular, two more options are being added to the table: the Motorola Electrify 2 and Defy XT.

Electrify 2

Available online today and in stores tomorrow for $199 after a $100 mail-in-rebate, the Motorola Electrify 2 is (obviously) the successor to last year's original Electrify. This successor is essentially a slightly watered-down Atrix HD, featuring a 4.3" ColorBoost display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, Kevlar coating, and Android 4.0.

Defy XT

If rough and tumble is more your speed, then the Defy XT may be a better choice.

ZTE Flash Details Leaked: Packs LTE And Today's Flagship Specs, Coming To Sprint In October

Posted by in Flash, News, ZTE

As we've seen occasionally in the past, ZTE is capable of producing a genuinely impressive budget phone. It looks like they're coming up to bat again, because some purported specs for an upcoming phone have leaked, and they certainly look impressive:

 ZTE_Flash_Sprint_Leak

  • Android 4.0 (could be bumped up to 4.1 by release)
  • 4.5" HD IPS Display (1280x720) with Gorilla Glass
  • LTE
  • 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 CPU (MSM8960)
  • 12.6MP rear shooter, 1MP front
  • NFC
  • 8GB storage + microSDXC
  • 1GB RAM
  • Bluetooth 4.0
  • .38" (9.6mm) thick
  • Custom ZTE UI pictured

The specs largely match today's flagships, such as the US variants of the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S III - right down to using the exact same CPU.
