Sony Ericsson Xperia ray hands-on [Video]

For Sony Ericsson fans or those with small fingers in the world, I have a phone for you. Just arriving at the Android Community labs today is the Sony Ericsson Xperia ray. This little smartphone may be tiny but it definitely packs a punch. Below we have some details and photos for you to check out. Plus, I’ve compared this small and sleek phone to something with a size more in line with most phones for a comparison and to show just how small it really is, so check out the video after the break. Under the hood of the Xperia ray you’ll find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.0 Ghz single-core processor, 512MB of ram, and a 4GB micro-SD card. While that may not be a dual-core powerhouse listing we do have an amazingly awesome display and an equally...

Samsung Stratosphere hands on [Video]

The Samsung Stratosphere is the latest 4G phone from Verizon, and to the delight of certain parts of the Android world, it’s also a full QWERTY slider. The mid-range device is based on the last generation of Galaxy S phone, and as far as feel and dimensions go, it’s got a lot in common with its cousin the Epic 4G. It’s launching at a relatively cheap $149.99 – a song for an true LTE slider phone. Our initial impressions follow. Like most sliders, the Stratosphere feels a little chunky in the hand. It’s not the thickest phone we’ve ever seen at 14mm, but it’s noticeably larger than the Motorola DROID 3 with the same screen size and form factor. It’s also lighter, which makes for a less cumbersome ride in your pocket. The textured...

Motorola MotoACTV hands-on [Video]

The new DROID RAZR wasn’t the only device Motorola had in store for us today, they also announced a new Android device called MOTOACTV. This is basically a smart watch powered by Android like we’ve seen in the past. Taking on Nike+ and even the iPod Nano will this be a success for Motorola? We don’t know yet but check out our hands on pictures and video after the break. Running on Android with a 600 Mhz processor and weighing only 35 grams the ACTV sounds pretty impressive. Would you wear one? It may be lightweight, water and dust-proof but it’s a little bulky for a watch. I’d love to mount one to my Trek EX8 mountain bike just as they’ve done at the Motorola event. It pairs with your Motorola phone or RAZR and will send and receive...

Hopefully you all watched live as Google and Samsung unveiled the new device, and if you did you’re probably drooling from the mouth as am I. Now I’m sure a few will still want to see a list of specifications so just to be nice I have the full list for everyone to check out. This thing has an amazing 4.65″ Super AMOLED HD display with a 1280 x 720 resolution and will look incredible, then a blazing fast 1.2...
