14 DAY TRIAL // Wireless carrier Sprint and mobile phone maker Motorola Mobility have just announced a press event set for June 9th, during which they promise to unveil to the world the latest result of their collaboration.
According to rumors, that would be none other than the already spotted Motorola Photon 4G, a dual-core smartphone that would also include support for Sprint's 4G services.
Nothing was officially confirmed on the matter, but Motorola and Sprint did sent out invites to the said event, where they would offer participants the possibility to put their hands on the said product.
According to some of the reports on the matter, the main dish at that event would indeed be the Motorola Photon 4G, which might sport the codename of Sunfire.
The handset was previously rumored with Google's Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system loaded on it, and with hardware specs that would make it a powerful competitor for handsets like HTC Sensation or the Samsung Galaxy S II.
The same as these two, the Motorola Photon 4G is expected to arrive on shelves with a large 4.3-inch touchscreen display, capable of delivering a qHD resolution, and that it would be packing a dual-core application processor inside, an Nvidia Tegra 2 chip this time.
The mobile phone would also sport 1GB of RAM to go along with the fast CPU, as well as an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for HD video recording and high-resolution photo capturing.
The handset is also expected to feature a rear kickstand, as well as support for WiMAX connectivity, and global roaming features.
Motorola already unveiled to the world handsets with large displays and dual-core application processors, such as the ATRIX 4G or the DROID Bionic, both of them with 4G connectivity packed inside as well.
However, Sprint does not have a 4G handset from Motorola as of yet, but it seems that things might change in the near future, provided that the rumors regarding the June 9 event pan out. Keep an eye on this space for more on the matter.
