Those of you who are quite literally “getting on a bit” might remember Battle Squadron, particularly if you haven’t spent the 20 years since its original release smashing your memory cells to oblivion on premium strength lagers.
It’s a 2D scrolling shooter which was rather popular, both “back in the day” and subsequently since hitting iOS devices. Now we get a go, with this Android update also featuring a head-to-head two-player split-screen option for those using an Android tablet.
Android Battle Squadron comes with OpenFeint integration and supports Android 2.2 devices and higher. It’s on the Play Store here, for the rather precise price of exactly £2.46.
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?
