A whole heap of additional images of Android 4.0 and new facts about the OS update can be found over on Google’s Android Developers site. It goes into new details about the text input and spell checker, new Notifications system, the amazingly in-depth network data tools, refreshed browser and tab system and much more.
It’s all out there now. Here are a handful of the new Android 4.0 images.
Best feature? Although the new browser isn’t the mobile version of Google Chrome we were hoping for, it does now support Chrome’s bookmark sync options, plus official support for offline reading of pages. The new browser tab system looks fantastic, too, and that Calendar widget is well swish. It’s all very upgrade-worthy indeed.
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?
