2012 is going to see some stonking Android tablets hit the market, and one of the more exciting models looks like being this – Acer’s Iconia Tab A700. As well as arriving with a quad-core Tegra 3 processor, the screen is reported to be running at 1920×1200 resolution, plus there’s a massive 9800mAh battery inside.
It’s also very thin. And very nice.
And imagine how much more exciting it’ll look when they release images with the screen turned on. No mention is made of the OS it’ll arrive running, but given the March/April launch timescale mentioned, it surely has to be Android 4.0.
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?
