So it seems Samsung may very well be releasing Android first ‘mini’ phone. The Samsung S5830, as it is dubbed, features an interesting silver/gray siding to it while the back is a nice glossy black, similar to the Nexus S. Judging from the photos it only has one rear facing camera and overall looks like a mini Nexus S with silver accents.

Sharp brought over their 3D glasses-free Android phones to CES 2011 and of course we had to test them out, especially with the promise of some major companies like Capcom releasing games in 3D for the device.

LG officially announces the LG Optimus 2X dual-core Android phone, officially the first Tegra 2 Android phone
After many sites have fondled the LG ‘Star’ and previewed it, LG has released a press release officially announcing their dual-core Android phone. Anyone surprised it is the day before the Nexus S launch? No? Me neither. Anyways, this bad boy of a phone is nothing to turn your nose up at either with it’s dual-core Tegra 2 chip.
Interesting news just coming to light regarding a Trademark filed by Motorola regarding the word/name “Stadia”. According to PocketNow, Motorola usually just lists things like ‘Cellular Phone’ in their Trademark filings but with this particular one, it goes into detail, specifically about hand-held gaming in a few ways. We did some digging to find out more.
It seems as though we should start calling every Monday in the Android community “Device Monday” or at least just for today. We just got a tip on Twitter from our friend Junde regarding the upcoming Meizu M9 and M9II phones, slated for release in China. Why are we reporting about phones in China? Android has no borders!
More device news coming our way this Monday and again from Samsung. This time instead of the Nexus S it is the W899. This is a flip phone (clamshell in other words) that features twin Super AMOLED screens (front and back) on the top half of the phone. Also it features a rather great looking gold-ish and black finish on the outside.
So right now Eric Schmidt is talking at the Web 2.0 Summit and while most of us had dismissed the idea of anything really Android related being mentioned, we all tuned in anyways just in case. Well we were not disappointed at all! Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, announced a little bit of information about Gingerbread while waving around a new phone!
It seems as though the ghostly Nexus S is starting to make public showings… well at least to people in-store. Best Buy first had a bit of a hiccup on their website. It seems as though they got a little excited and accidentally posted an update to the mobile phones section and under T-Mobile there was an area labeled Nexus S and now photos are out!
Alright, this is strictly a devil’s advocate kind of post. Personally my daily phone right now is a Nexus One and the thought of a Nexus Two is more then a delicious one, however, there are a few reasons that the upcoming Nov. 8th announcement by Samsung will not be regarding a Nexus Two phone along with it being the first to have Gingerbread 2.3 running on it.
