Tech site TechCrunch has lifted the lid on INQ’s latest attempt at attacking the smartphone world. It’s a very, very heavily skinned Android phone themed around easy Facebook access, which it’s calling the INQ Cloud Touch.
The user interface is what they’re calling a “Facebook wrapper” which sees many of the key functions of the Android Facebook app expanded into the Home screen. It’s a bit mad.
There’s a video of it in action over on TechCrunch, along with news that a QWERTY version will also be available. It’s not aimed at the likes of us, so don’t be too harsh. It’s a mum phone. We ought to add “mum phones” as a new category. Pic via Phandroid.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
