Motorola To Release World's First Superphone

Filed in archive Announcements on June 11, 2010

Question: What trumps even the prestige of the smart phone? Answer: The super phone! At least that's how Motorola figures it as the company has confirmed development of a 2-gigahertz Android-based "superphone" for release at the end of the year.

The new 2-gigahertz chip powering the device, which at present is known only as the "superphone", would have twice the power as current smartphones that run 1-gigahertz processors.

Additionally, the super-fast smartphone is said to come equipped running Google's latest Android operating system, integrate Nvidia's new Tegra graphics chip with full Flash 10.1 hardware acceleration and, not unlike Apple's iPhone 4, come with a built-in gyroscope for six-axis controls for features such as motion-based gaming.

Motorola expects the device to be ready for the 2010 holiday season.
