Best Android ICS smartphones (roundup) - MobilEgypt

In my view, smartphones are all about the future and the best handsets are usually the ones with the wildest, slickest mobile technology. Sure, cutting-edge wireless computing rarely comes cheap especially phones running Google's latest and greatest version of Android software, Ice Cream Sandwich. Still it's good to have a dream, and right now I'm fantasizing big time about the best phones money can buy. As ICS handsets actually begin to hit the market, my once wistful wishing is slowly becoming reality. Here's a group of my favorite top-notch devices so you can live the ICS dream too. HTC Evo 4G LTE (Sprint), May 9, 2012 Many said that no phone on earth could outdo the legendary Evo 4G, let alone a sequel. The new HTC Evo 4G LTE proves that the doubters were wrong, at least mostly. With killer good looks, a massive 4.7-inch screen, fast dual-core power, and Android ICS paired to HTC's revamped Sense 4 UI this Evo has almost everything. If and when Sprint's 4G LTE service shows up, we may have a real winner on our hands.Read the full review of the HTC Evo 4G LTE. Samsung Galaxy S III (Unlocked), May 3, 2012 Ok I know, the Samsung Galaxy S III isn't officially out yet but I couldn't make a short list of ultra-hot ICS handsets without including sammy's flagship Android for 2012. Rumors are that the advanced device may arrive on American shores en mass as early as June, certainly by sometime this summer. The phone boasts an even bigger screen (4.8-inches) than the Evo 4G LTE and it's an AMOLED display as well (1,280x720 pixels). Also, not only does the Galaxy S III have Android ICS, the smartphone's software is driven by the latest Samsung quad-core Exynos processor. Read our hands on with the Samsung Galaxy S III. HTC One X , May 1, 2012 Want to know what the best Android phone on is? You're looking at it. The HTC One X for Ma Bell is essentially the inspiration for Sprint's new Evo 4G LTE and a dual-core clone of the international HTC One X (quad-core Tegra 3). But don't let its lower core-count fool you, the U.S. One X is plenty fast, also comes with a lovely 4.7-inch screen, Read our full review of the HTC One X. HTC One S (T-Mobile), April 18, 2012 Super slim and carved from a single block of anodized aluminum, the HTC One S for T- Mobile is a true smartphone vision. Also easy on the eyes is its gorgeous 4.3-inch Super AMOLED screen (960x540 pixels) that paints movies and pictures in stunningly vibrant colors and dark blacks. Of course Android ICS is on board along with HTC's Sense 4 interface plus a connection to T-Mobile's quick 4G HSPA + data network. Also, like all the other phones in HTC's One line the One V has a fast and feature-packed 8MP camera. Read our full review of the HTC One S. Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon), December 14, 2011 It's hard to talk Ice Cream Sandwich without mentioning the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. This phone is by no means new but it was the flagship Android ICS device and offers a mostly pure taste of Google's fresh OS. Plus, until the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx gets an ICS upgrade, it's the sweetest Verizon Android option around. Also, while the Sprint version supports the Google Wallet mobile payment system, the Verizon model is 4G LTE capable now which personally matters more to me. Sprint's GNex sadly is still waiting for the carrier's promise of LTE in the future. Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon).

Wide range of new smartphones kick off CTIA day 1 - MobilEgypt

New Orleans---The steady drum beat of mobile phone news picked up tempo today at CTIA. Matching the rising temperatures in the big easy, hot new handsets were unveiled or were shown to us for the first time. We also laid our hands on interesting mobile security solutions plus a collection of compelling accessories. Read on for some highlights of what the CNET gang uncovered on site. Phones for everyone First Lynn La took a look at the rough and tumble Kyocera Hydro that's water-resistant and built to survive the abuse this cruel world can dish out. Lynn also spent time with the Kycocera Rise that boasts a responsive physical keyboard to let nimble fingers do the talking. Next, Jessica Dolcourt and I were treated to some hands on time with Virgin Mobile's first 4G phone, the HTC Evo V 4G . Really a re- branded HTC Evo 3D that Sprint says will also link to its older WiMax 4G infrastructure. Sprint also talked up a new software security suite, called Guardian that makes rolling out security software to multiple Android handsets on a family plan a breeze. The big treat of the day though was the time Jessica Dolcourt and I spent in the presence of Samsung's upcoming super phone,the Galaxy S III. Not only is this phone more gorgeous to behold up close, its quad-core performance and feature list mark it as the next Android phone to dethrone. At Pepcom, CTIA's evening event, Lynn La also gave the $99 Pal by Clarity a spin. Made specifically for seniors, this no-frills handset offers the comfort of large rubber buttons, loud audio, plus support for hearing aids. I too got in on the action by taking a closer look at the global version of the HTC One V , a compact and elegant phone meant for European and Asian markets. Other interesting accessories include the ClarityHD Micro portable Bluetooth speaker that aims to push the Jawbone Jambox off of its pediestal. All this happened on just the first official day of the show. You can bet there will be lots of other news in the days to come. Check back all week for the latest CTIA 2012 developments.
