There were plenty of impressive smart phones on show at the Mobile World Congress held last weekend. Google’s Android operating system is still a major favorite of many smart phones for now (maybe that will change once Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 7 series comes out during the holidays). Here’s a quick look at some of the most anticipated Androids from the event:
Sony Ericsson unveiled three new Android smart phones from their XPERIA line of devices. The SE XPERIA X10 sticks to the main specs that it was announced with last year. T will definitely have a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, an AMOLED touch screen and other old 1.6 Donut operating system. To mix things up, SE will use the Timescape social networking integration and the Mediascape UI along with the OS.
Based on the XPERIA X10 are two mini phones. The SE X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro are simplified, miniaturized and watered down versions of the X10. With their 2.5 inch touch screens, it is no surprise that each only seems to be half the weight of the original. The two phones are completely identical in specs, but the Pro version comes with a physical QWERTY keyboard in slide out form.
HTC has a couple of Android devices as well. Both were leaked last year in a roadmap document; the HTC Desire and Legend live up to many of the expected specifications for the two phones. The Android Snapdragon Desire was originally named as the Bravo and just got a name change last Sunday. The Legend will be the successor to the HTC Hero and will come with a 600 MHz processor and a 3.2 inch AMOLED touch screen. The two devices are expected to be launched by March this year.
