There’s no telling how much success Casio’s G’Zone Commando Android phone has at Verizon Wireless, but we’ve just received word that the company plans to release a top-notch smartphone sooner than expected.
The information comes from a DroidLife reader who was fortunate enough to play with Casio’s prototype while attending to a focus group session a few days ago. In fact, it appears that the company plans to launch more than one device, most of them headed to Verizon Wireless.
According to
DroidLife the unannounced Casio device is big. Even though it does not have a name yet, the smartphone is said to feature a large 4.5-inch or 4.7-inch Super AMOLED capacitive display and a quad-core processor of unknown type and speed.
In addition, the phone is said to feature dual cameras, an impressive 8-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing photo snapper for video calls. NFC (Near Field Communications) and 4G LTE support was included as well.
Last but not least, Casio’s quad-core smartphone will be powered by a large 2,000 mAh Li-Ion battery and will feature the usual range of ports, such as microSD card slot for memory expansion, microUSB and 3.5mm audio jack.
Furthermore, Casio states that the phone will run the “latest Android” version, so we can safely assume that this one will be delivered with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich onboard.
Design-wise, the phone is very slim, possibly thinner than 8mm, and comes with only a few external keys, such as the volume button and lock switch. The tipster also said that the prototype phone looks “beautifully simplistic” and strongly resembles the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
The person responsible for this leak also saw four Casio clamshell devices and a new G’Zone smartphone, which was as big as the quad-core prototype unit. Most of these devices were already branded with Verizon’s logo, so we should expect them to be exclusively available at the Big Red.
