14 DAY TRIAL // Three unannounced and never heard of before Android smartphone will be available through Verizon in Q2 2011. The carrier's partial roadmap for this year has been leaked and announces big surprises for Android fans.
According to the guys over at Phandroid, who've been informed by a trusted source, Motorola is expected to launch the DROID 3 and the DROID X2, while Samsung plans to release the Stealth in the 2nd Quarter.
Additional information is scarce for the moment, but here are some details picked up directly from the source:
Motorola Droid 3: 4-inch screen with QHD resolution (960 by 540 pixel resolution - same as Bionic), slideout QWWERTY keyboard Motorola Droid X2: Didn’t gather any details Samsung Stealth: This is the Samsung 4G LTE as seen at CES While Motorola's devices are completely new, it seems that Samsung Stealth has been showcased at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas, along with Samsung Forte, another 4G LTE enabled smartphone.
Samsung 4G LTE is expected to be powered by a 1GHz Hummingbird processor and runs on Android 2.2 Froyo platform, although it might receive an upgrade to Gingerbread soon after launch.
It touts a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display and boasts an 8-megapixel camera shooter with autofocus and LED flash, as well as a front-facing camera for video-calls.
As exciting as it may sound from the spec sheet, Samsung Stealth will have a hard time to reach the success of its Galaxy S predecessors, especially that Motorola's upcoming DROID 3 and DROID X2 will certainly turn quite some heads.
Even though no release dates have emerged yet, we're hoping that we'll see some of the leaked devices at the 2011 Mobile World Congress, in Barcelona.
Starting February 14, we will be there to keep you up to date with live reports on the latest product launches and presentations.
