The game that changed the world and helped make it a better place for the following five or six years has arrived on Android, thanks to Sega publishing its first ever OFFICIAL version of the original 2D Sonic game for Google phone users.
Obviously you’ve been able to play Sonic 1 on Android for years via a number of top quality emulators, but this is the legal, easier way. Sega says we can expect to see widescreen image support, Tails and Knuckles as unlockable characters (SACRILEGE) and the spin-dash move from later Sonics (ALSO SACRILEGE). Here it is:
Sonic 1 is on the Play Store for £2.35. We haven’t yet but probably will soon.
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?
