The Samsung Galaxy S is a powerful smartphone. We’ve heard over the last few months that the device is capable of shifting a lot of triangles per second. When compared to the iPhone 3GS, it can shift just over 3 times more per second at 90 million.

This comparison shows the Samsung Galaxy S vs the HTC Desire with each smartphone running Quake 2. Technical spec wise, the Samsung Galaxy S uses a Hummingbird/Power VR chipset. The HTC Desire has a Snapdragon CPU clocked at 1GHz and an Adreno chip. Both configurations are quite respectable although you’ll sure see a difference when you see them side by side. [Read more…]

Three new Dell Android phones have been unveiled called the Dell Flash, Dell Smoke and Dell Thunder.

Dell Flash Android Smartphone

The first phone to be unveiled is the Dell Flash (pictured above) that measures just 11mm thick. This phone has a 3.5 inch WVGA screen, connects up to HSPA networks on 850 / 1900 and 2100MHz networks with 14.4Mbps being the download speed limit. On the back is a 5 megapixel camera that has autofocus and image stabilisation along with features such as smile and blick detection. Inside is 512MB of RAM and ROM and the phone accepts microSD cards up to 64GB in capacity. That obviously indicates the phone is not due out for a while yet, perhaps late this year with memory cards that size.

For connectivity it has WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 and the CPU is clocked at 800MHz provided by Qualcomm (the MSM7230 to be precise). This particular CPU is part of Qualcomm’s next generation of CPU’s that aims to bring the performance of the Snapdragon 1GHz CPUs to the phone along with HD video capabilities.

When launched it is expected to run Android 2.2. More details at Engadget. [Read more…]

Today has been quite a day for the Apple iPhone 4G due to leaked pics earlier. We are hearing rumours at the moment that indicate the next gen Apple [AAPL] device will get a custom processor much like the iPad got the custom A4.

The rumour comes from an “anonymous executive” speaking to the Korea Times. It is understood that Samsung, who previously designed the chips are no longer in charge of this part (as in the design) and that Apple themselves are designing the chip with Samsung only building them.

It was already expected that Apple would put the A4 or a similar chip in to the iPhone 4G, so this rumour doesn’t really come as a surprise. We already know the chip works well on the iPad and can provide 720p video, so implementing it in to a phone that will use the same OS shouldn’t really be that much of a challenge (we at least hope).
