Upcoming Motorola Android Phone Features 2-GHz Processor
Motorola has confirmed to PhoneScoop that the company plans to ship a smartphone this year with a 2-GHz microprocessor inside of it.
This is news, not of least of which because none of the embedded microprocessor manufacturers have announced a 2-GHz microprocessor as yet. Qualcomm has announced plans to manufacture a dual-core Snapdragon chip, eventually taking the existing single-core platform to 1.5-GHz speeds.
What’s unclear, however, is what this will do for the phone’s battery life. While some older Android phones appear sluggish compared to the latest smartphones like the EVO 4G, the knock on those high-end phones is that the additional horsepower and larger displays have severely crimped battery life. (I still think those concerns can be mitigated by turning off some of the location-based services for normal use, but I think I’m in the minority.)
In any event, however, I’d say that the direction smartphones need to go is to establish a robust one-day minimum uptime with all features turned on, and then worry about additional horsepower. If Motorola has indeed met these minimums, then this unannounced 2-GHz platform may be one to watch.

1GB (1X1GB) DDR2 SDRAM 800MHz Memory DDR2 is a memory architecture that enables systems to improve performance and reduce power consumption. The amount of RAM you have determines how many programs can be executed at one time and how much data can be readily available to a program. It also determines how quickly your applications perform and how many applications you can easily toggle between at one time. Simply put, the more RAM you have, the more programs you can run smoothly and simultaneously. | |

Regulatory Model: D02U Regulatory Type: D02U001 Panasonic Lumix phone ‘pre-announced’ – will boast stunning 13-megapixel cameraThough Panasonic hasn’t yet come up with any images of their upcoming phones and neither has any website leaked them yet as per the specifications announced by Panasonic we can guess that the phone can gather a lot of attention due to its 13 MP camera with CMOS censor. Exact announcement will be on 5th of October yet below are some of the specifications that might interest you:
Lumix, as specified before, has been a successful camera line up from Panasonic and henceforth it is understood (or at least expected) that they will come up with a good camera when they launch a phone with the tag Lumix. No doubt why 13MP CMOS sensor has been hinted in this pre-announcement. Stay tuned as we will surely get you the real juice once Panasonic has it for us on the 5th of October. |
