Kyocera Echo Update Just Confrim, NFC?

Last week the Kyocera Echo gets Gingerbread and today Sprint and Kyocera confirm the update and also made some announcement, a WiFi call and NFC reader support.

The WiFi calling is really nice but the NFC support not so much.

Could the Echo have an improve hardware or just an accessory for the NFC or a new brother with proper NFC?

Next iPad Will Support Retina Display And Non-Apple Product Also Support It

While making an announcement, a slip of the tongue revealed that, “more smartphone manufacturers will release new models employing LG’s “Retina Display’’ that has been used in iPhones and iPads.” Now as we know, iPads do not currently have Retina display and the only iDevices which currently does is the the iPhone 4 and the iPod touch 4G, of which LG manufactures the screens.


Yes the next iPad which many hope happen in the iPad 2 is the retina display which the iPhone is using now. It didn't happen in the iPad 2 but from the slip reveal, the next iPad will support a retina display. Also which next non-Apple product will feature a retina display? Android, Windows Phone 7 device are the likely contestant? Maybe an Ebook so you could read your newspaper in HD.

LG Remaining Phone For 2011

LG's remaining smartphone is now expose for the remaining 2011

The LG Prada K2, this dual-core model looks to be the second-half flagship, highlighted by its brighter 4.3-inch NOVA LCD and 8.8-millimeter thickness. On-board are dual cameras: 1.3-megapixel front and eight-megapixel rear, with 16GB of internal storage. Running Android 2.3 Gingerbread and offering 21Mbps HSPA+ cellular data, K2 is also said to feature a Prada-inspired texture on the casing. Release is this holiday season

The LG Univa,With an 800MHz processor, 3.5-inch HVGA display, and five-megapixel camera, Univa sounds like a solid upgrade to the 500MHz-powered Optimus One. Said to be 11.9-millimeters thick, Univa runs Gingerbread and brings DLNA support into the low-to-mid-range. Look for this one in the fourth quarter. 

LG Fantasy 2,the Windows Phone 7 Mango-powered LG Fantasy, although we can safely extrapolate most of its specs, thanks to WP7's tight hardware requirements. One thing that's clear from its appearance: LG seems to be using the same design cues seen on its top-tier Android devices, eschewing the somewhat plasticky look associated with its first-gen Windows Phones. A fourth quarter release is also likely here. 

LG Victor should arrive this quarter instead slotted into the mid-range. The Gingerbread-powered slate reportedly packs a 1GHz single-core processor, 3.8-inch OLED display with WVGA resolution, and five-megapixel rear/VGA front-facing cameras. The 802.11b/g/n radio supposedly supports both DLNA and Wi-Fi Direct. 

LG Gelato model number P690. While that handset will likely be coming to Sprint as the LS685 -- possibly as soon as this month -- there's also apparently an NFC-capable model in the pipeline scheduled for a fourth quarter release. It shares the original phone's 800MHz processor, 3.2-inch HVGA display, and three-megapixel camera, but adds the capabilities to make touchless payments and read tags, among others. 

LG E2, a smallish QVGA display, sub-gigahertz processor, and a basic three-megapixel-or-so camera. E2 sounds even more barebones than the Optimus One, suggesting that LG is attempting to push its Android lineup downmarket. 

And lastly the LG K. This promises to be one of the first phones with a true 720p HD display; it's likely to be the device we currently know as the P930. We're anticipating a screen around 4.5 inches with a pixel density that matches or exceeds that of the iPhone's Retina Display.

Samsung has yet to join the 3D smartphone family and to join Samsung will be using Galaxy 3D, a galaxy family phone. The phone is expected to run on Android 2.3 OS but will be upgraded to a future Android version. To power its 3D prowess, the phone will most likely feature Samsung’s in-house developed 1.2GHz dual-core Exynos processor, a 4.3-inch 3D LCD screen and dual 8MP cameras. There will be an HD TV-out as well to output captured 3D content directly on the 3D TV.

Motorola Defy+, Motorola Defy Big Brother With Improve Hardware

Motorola Defy debut last year and it has some pretty nice spec. Now the Defy will have a big brother call the Defy+, the difference?
