The premier electronics event in Las Vegas this year, CES 2012, is about to kick off this January 10 to 13. Android, it seems, is going to be the star of the show. The mobile revolution is still in full swing, so expect this event to have plenty of new smartphone blood on the performers list.
CES 2012 Will See a New Motorola Droid
Expect to see the Motorola Droid 4 come to light during the days of CES 2012. This is the same event that Motorola chose to reveal their first tablet, the Xoom, to the world. The Droid 4 is not a “Google phone” per se, but is likely to get the update to Android Ice Cream Sandwich since Google is now the owner of Motorola mobile. The Droid 4 has a large screen and something that many people still want: a slide-out keyboard. It is going to be close in specifications to the already released Razr that Motorola hopes will help them get out of some sales doldrums.
Nokia Seeks To Renew Their US Market
Nokia is expected to have some units at CES 2012. The Lumia “Ace” 900 is expected to be launched in the USA at this event with some smiling AT&T representatives. Nokia seeks to spring back from a drastic fall in sales and popularity in Europe. They have not been that popular in the United States in recent memory. The Ace 900 will sport the Microsoft Windows Phone 7.5 “Mango” version and come with a large screen. It is considered to be a flagship smartphone from Nokia.
LG Has Some Bigger Firepower than Last Year
LG has gotten their hands on some processor goodness, thanks to Intel. They are going to unveil their first Intel “medfield”-powered smartphone at the CES event this year. It is a fast chip with specifications that so far beat Qualcomm and Tegra chips. The medfield effort is one of Intel’s first “system-on-a-chip” computers and LG will be debuting it inside one of their own. It will be running Android.
Samsung Is the Big Dog on the Lot
What will Samsung be bringing to the table? They have a huge Android smartphone they have called the “Galaxy Note“. This is an upper-crust smartphone with the size of a small tablet. If you prefer, it is a small tablet that also makes calls. The screen is absolutely terrific on the Note. It is 5.3 inches of bright Super AMOLED beauty. It has top notch wireless connectivity and a price to match. Their “next generation” 7.7 inch Galaxy Tab may also be at the CES 2012 event, but if not, look for it on the Verizon network.
