The new flagship T-Mobile Android packages a 4.3-inch qHD Super LCD screen, 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor chip, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, 8-megapixel camera, 1080p full HD video recording and also the new HTC Sense 3.0. These features are almost just like both the HTC EVO 3D (sans the 8MP digital camera) and the Samsung Galaxy S2 (Super AMOLED display). With all three dual-core mobile phones running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, consumers will need to see if they like Samsung’s TouchWiz UI or HTC’s Sense.

Statement: Details leaked out on next Google Nexus Android phone

Young man Genius Report says it is obtained “exclusive” word from the source on precisely what we’ll find in the next version of Google’s Nexus cell phone.
Using the 3rd iteration of the Nexus perhaps to be named the Nexus 4G, BGR is calling it an “absolute beast.”

The new Nexus will likely be powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz or 1.5GHz Processor, whether Texas Instruments OMAP 4460 or a low-power 28nm Krait-based Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, says BGR. If true, those specifications run counter to earlier reports that the new Nexus could be outfitted with an Nvidia Kal-El processor chip.

As befitting its potential name, the new phone would go beyond a 4G LTE network. Although no carrier was named by BGR’s source, BGR thinks it could grow to be one of the first LTE phones provided by AT&T.

BGR’s source also says the display will include a 720-pixel high-definition “monster-sized” display. Using the overall interface to the next level, BGR says Google won’t include any physical menu buttons below the screen and will instead make the controls software-based, which follows earlier reports about the phone from tech site TechHog.
Exploring the other specs reported by BGR, the next-gen Nexus will carry 1GB of RAM, offer 1080p video capture and playback, and offer two cameras–a 1-megapixel camera in front, and a 5-megapixel camera in the rear. The rear camera is reportedly designed to offer high quality photos in low light conditions.
Upgrading to the next flavor of Android, the new Nexus will run Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich, prompting BGR to speculate that the phone could be a “flagship/reference Ice Cream Sandwich device” rather than just another Google Nexus product.

Other expected specs include a 1.2GHz Snapdragon MSM7630 processor, 768MB RAM, 5-megapixel rear camera and 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. Basically the HTC Kingdom matches the HTC EVO 3D in every way except for the lack of 3D features and a no dual-cores.
