DoCoMo and NEC to Launch Ultra-Slim and Water-Proof Android Smartphone
by Lucian Armasu on Jan 31, 2012 0 Comments">0
NEC may not be doing so well in the smartphone market lately, but they aren’t going down without a fight. DoCoMo has just announced a new smartphone for Japan, called NEC- ES N-05D. What’s most spectacular about this device is that they are built to be water-proof while still being 0.11 inches thinner than a Galaxy S 2, which is already a pretty thin device. These are all the specs: 4.3-inch LCD with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread, waterproof body, 8.1MP CMOS camera with NEC’s Exmor R for better low light performance, dual-core 1.5GHz MSM8260 …
Droid RAZR MAXX Launches Today. Features a Huge 3300 mAh Battery
by Lucian Armasu on Jan 26, 2012 1 Comments">1
The Droid RAZR certainly turned some heads back in November. It was probably the most innovative phone I saw all year design and build wise, thanks to its ultra-thin 7.7mm kevlar body. How can many people can say their phone is protected by kevlar? The only reason it didn’t reach its true potential is because a day later the Galaxy Nexus stole most of its thunder, not necessarily because of the hardware or because of its design, but because it had stock Android 4.0. By comparison, the RAZR had what looked like a year old OS, even if it had …

The Fate of the Nook Color, Post Fire [ICS]

![The Fate of the Nook Color, Post Fire [ICS]](http://1.androidauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/icsncwifi1.jpg)
Before the release of the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet (NT), we had the Nook Color, it was the go to tablet for developers who were on a budget. Why had it received such attention from so many in the development community? Well the reasons are simple. For the price, it had a great screen and also had solid build quality. Many other tablets at that price could not hold a candle to the Nook Color on these terms. Fast forward to today, and we ask what does this mean to the current owners of the Nook Color? While it may still …
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on Droid 3, with some Benchmarks and Screenshots
by Brandon Sobotta on Dec 22, 2011 2 Comments">2
So the other night I got an alpha version of ICS installed on my Droid 3, and I have to say I am impressed. Hashcode has been hard at work since the release of the source code, and had done some amazing things. I am currently using it for my daily driver and if you don’t mind being a guinea pig give it a shot yourself. For being an alpha it is very stable, and many of the main functions work. Here is the list from Hashcode’s blog of what works and what does not. Many of the base phone functions are now working. And that …

by Matthew Sabatini on Dec 08, 2011 14 Comments">14
September 23, 2008, Android 1.0, the first commercial version of Android is released. Just over 3 years later, October 19, 2011, after evolving from Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, and Honeycomb, not including Astro and Bender, Ice Cream Sandwich was announced. Along the way, Android put out loads of features and took in some 200+ million users. Today, we’re going to be breaking down two of the newest, and arguably best, Android versions (Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich). Obviously, a winner has already been chosen for this Versus Match. However, look at the competition as more of a comparison and evolution of …

AT&T’s LG Nitro HD Specs
by Lucian Armasu on Nov 14, 2011 3 Comments">3
AT&T seems to be taking Android seriously lately, especially if that means helping them promote their new LTE network. Since the iPhone doesn’t support LTE, AT&T will take the Android phones that do support it, and run with them. One of the very first such devices is the LG Nitro HD, which is very similar to the LG phone that’s launching on Bell – the LG Optimus LTE. It seems we’re going to see a lot more HD phones from now on, because the LG Nitro HD is also one to feature such a display with a 1280×720 resolution that …
Is a Droid Bionic Update Right Around the Corner? Could Ice Cream Sandwich Be Next?
by Brandon Sobotta on Nov 01, 2011 0 Comments">0
It seems like Motorola has been hard at work addressing the issues that owners of the Droid Bionic have experiencing. In the last few weeks the members of forums such as XDA, and androidforums.com have been playing around with a non-official update that has escaped Motorola/Verizon’s grasp. The update known as 5.5.886 seems to have addressed some of the bugs, and problems that we outlined a while back. Some of the issues include loss of data connectivity, poor battery life, sluggish camera, and on and on. So far most Bionic owners have noticed such benefits from the update such as better battery life, quicker camera, and better …
Google Nexus S, Gingerbread-strapped Phones To Get Ice Cream Sandwich, Too
by Ken East on Oct 19, 2011 1 Comments">1
The controversial and unofficial photos and videos allegedly showing a Google Nexus S handset running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich turned out to be true after all. Google recently confirmed that the Nexus S will definitely get some Ice Cream Sandwich love. Google’s Gabe Cohen gave the confirmation. Matias Duarte also concurred. Apart from saying that Google is currently cooking up Ice Cream Sandwich updates for the Nexus S, both Cohen and Duarte also hinted that Android 2.3 Gingerbread devices will be getting ICS updates, too, since ICS “theoretically should work for any 2.3 device.” The Nexus One, however, …

by Alexander Maxham on Oct 18, 2011 1 Comments">1
The HTC Thunderbolt has a had a pretty hard time getting the upgrade from Froyo to Gingerbread. We’ve seen leaks, and rumors galore about the update. Not to mention the fact that the official OTA got yanked, which has gotten Thunderbolt users pretty frustrated, and perhaps looking to change to a different device – maybe the Galaxy Nexus? As far as we know, the Galaxy Nexus rumored to be a Verizon exclusive when it comes out sometime in late October or early November. Hopefully, HTC and Verizon have worked together to fix the bugs in the previous OTA so that Thunderbolt …
