Motorola has updated its list of future OS update plans, adding the new MOTOLUXE to its schedules. Sort of, at least – an Android 4.0 update for the MOTOLUXE is down as being “In Evaluation & Planning” pending more details. Still, it’s optimistic news if you’ve been tempted by the recently launched affordable 4″ Android model.
Here’s the current state of play regarding Motorola’s “Ice Cream Sandwich” update schedule for its European models:
Slightly odd that the original wi-fi XOOM is scheduled to get the Android 4.0 update in Q2, but there’s no date for the upgrade of the 3G model. That’s going to infuriate buyers of the costlier hardware.
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.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
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?

/ March 13, 2012It does infuriate buyers of the Xoom 3G, i.e… me (I think I’m the only one). Is there really such a big difference between the wifi and 3g models that it would take so much longer to upgrade it?
