Publisher Mobage has launched a version of Pocket Planes on Android, bringing NimbleBit’s huge iPhone smash to the Play Store for us to have a go on. It’s based around the concept of running an airline, with players shuffling passengers and cargo around the globe in return for money.
It’s a cute looking little thing that’s free to play, although there’s a hefty sign-up/sign-in process to go through before playing for the first time. We nearly gave up during that, such is our limited attention span these days.
But we stuck with it and liked it. Pocket Planes even integrates with Android’s notifications system, so you can put it down and forget about it, until the game reminds you one of your flights has arrived at its destination. Android Pocket Planes is free and on the Play Store here.
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?
