HTC EVO 3D
Available: June 24, 2011
The HTC EVO 3D is the legitimate heir to Sprint's mobile kingdom, featuring a dual core 1.2GHz CPU and Adreno 220 GPU, 1GB RAM, 4.3" QHD glasses-free 3D screen, and 3D video recording and picture taking capabilities. Internal storage is only 4GB but the phone comes packaged with an 8GB class 4 microSD card. The EVO 3D is by no means a small phone, but for those used to the EVO 4G or similar phones it will feel at home in your hand.
The HTC Sensation 4G features a 4.3-inch qHD display (540 x 960 resolution), a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 1GB of internal storage, 768MB of RAM, an 8MP rear lens with dual LED flash capable of 30FPS recording at max 1080p resolution with full stereo sound. It can push download rates to a maximum of 14.4Mbps on T-Mobile's network and comes loaded with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and Sense 3.0.
In portrait mode, this Android 2.3 device is your typical smartphone with a 5-megapixel camera, a 4-inch capacitive multitouch 480 x 854 screen, and social networking features. In landscape mode, the slide out keyboard reveals a digital D-pad, two analog touchpads, two shoulder buttons, and the four geometric PlayStation buttons (circle, cross, square, and triangle). The first PlayStation Certified device, as Sony Ericsson is calling it, is powered by a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor, an Adreno 205 GPU, and 512MB of RAM.
The Samsung Droid Charge is the second 4G LTE capable phone for Verizon Wireless. It offers longer battery life than the HTC ThunderBolt and boasts some pretty decent specs, including a gorgeous Super AMOLED Plus touch screen with 480×800 WVGA, Samsung’s TouchWiz UI, single-core 1.0 GHz Hummingbird processor, 8 megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera for video calls, and comes with a 32GB microSD card.
This smartphone ships with Android 2.3 Gingerbread in its raw version without any fancy UI on top, which means that unlike most Android phones out there, the Nexus S 4G will always get timely updates directly from Google. It's also among the first with NFC technology for mobile payments. Other features include a front-facing camera, mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, 4-inch OLED display, 1GHz processor, 5-megapixel auto-focus camera, and 16GB of built-in memory.
Like its European cousin the LG Optimus 2X, the T-Mobile G2x features a large 4-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen and Nvidia's 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 SoC under the hood. It strikes an impressive balance between performance and quality hardware, while offering plenty of multimedia features and HSPA+ speeds. Also, showing T-Mobile's commitment to plain Android, the G2x ship without any skins and overlays so it should be easily upgradeable.
The HTC Arrive (aka HTC 7 Pro) is one of the few handsets in the Windows Phone 7 family that sports a full QWERTY keyboard. Combined with a generous 3.6-inch display and a WVGA resolution of 480x800, the device is sure to find a sweet spot in the hearts of heavy texters. Specs include a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 576MB of RAM, a 5-megapixel camera capable of shooting 720p video, and 16GB of internal storage.
HTC Thunderbolt
Available: March 2011
Representing HTC's first 4G LTE phone, the Thunderbolt sports a large 4.3-inch touchscreen, an 8MP camera with HD video capture, video calling via front-facing camera, Android 2.2 with HTC's Sense software, and a 1GHz processor. Other features include mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, DLNA wireless media streaming, a kickstand for media viewing, FM radio, and 8GB of internal memory alongside the included 32GB microSD card.
The Galaxy S 4G is an update to Samsung's Vibrant, with the most notable addition being the front-facing camera and a slight battery capacity bump to cope with the beefier radio. Specs include a 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor, 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen, 5-megapixel rear camera, a 16GB microSD card, and Android 2.2 "Froyo". A number of applications are bundled with the smartphone, including Amazon Kindle for Android and Qik for video chats.
The Atrix 4G is an Android 2.2 smartphone with a dual-core 1GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a 4-inch "qHD" (960 x 540) display, a fingerprint recognizer, a big 1930 mAh battery and 0.4-inch thick body. It has dual cameras, expandable storage through miniSD cards, HDMI-out, and HSPA+ "4G" connectivity. But perhaps the Atrix's coolest feature is its ability to gain PC-like functionality with either a laptop-sized expansion dock or HD multimedia dock.
The HTC Inspire 4G is a stunning, 4.3-inch superphone running Android 2.2 and was the first in the U.S. to feature the next-generation HTC Sense platform with cloud services. The new Sense platform can pinpoint a lost phone on a map, send a command to sound an alert on the handset, and remotely wipe the phone's data through HTCSense.com. The Inspire 4G also delivers an 8MP camera, a 1GHz processor, and boasts a premium aluminum unibody design.
The HTC EVO Shift 4G is a smaller, less costly alternative to the EVO 4G on Sprint and gives hardware keyboard fans another choice besides the Samsung Epic 4G. That said, it also lacks a front-facing camera and doesn't include HDMI output. Among its features are a 5-megapixel camera with HD video capture, WiMAX connectivity, an 800MHz processor, mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, GPS navigation, microSD slot for expansion, FM radio, 3.6-inch display, and Android 2.2.
The Samsung Focus is basically a Windows Phone 7 version of the popular Galaxy S Android phone line and has a lot in common with its European brother, the Omnia 7, boasting the same 4-inch Super AMOLED display, 8GB of internal storage, 1GHz Hummingbird processor, and 5 megapixel camera. It's a great addition to AT&T's smartphone lineup, offering seamless social network integration, solid multimedia features and allows you to play games with Xbox LIVE.
BlackBerry phones are starting to look a bit behind the times, and while the Bold 9780 makes no great leaps forward for the brand, it's still a solid smartphone when it comes to messaging and call quality -- the things that really matter for some. The Bold 9780 is a near replica of the Bold 9700 (available on AT&T), offering just good enough specs, but great battery life and a slightly improved user experience courtesy of the updated operating system.
The latest iteration of the popular iPhone includes a high-resolution so-called 'Retina Display' that squeezes 326 pixels per inch into its surface -- that's twice as many pixels as its 3GS predecessor. The result is a crisp 640 x 960 screen that puts (almost) everything else available to shame. Other notable new features include a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and HD video capture, front-facing camera for video conferencing (Wi-Fi only), three-axis gyroscope for gaming, a larger battery and faster A4 chip, plus the iOS 4 software.
