Samsung Galaxy S hits China in three different flavors


Samsung Galaxy S will launch in China in three different versions - one for each of the three major telecoms in the country. One of them, headed to China Telecom, is even going to feature GSM and CDMA dual-standby.

Samsung Galaxy S will launch in China before the end of the year. China Telecom will launch its version this month. Samsung SCH-I909 is a capable of working on both CDMA and GSM networks, but has CDMA2000 as its 3G standard.

The version for China Mobile is the TD-SCDMA Samsung GT-I9008. It will support the Chinese CMMB mobile TV service and will run on the Ophone 2.0 platform (it's the China Mobile's OS based on Android).

Froyo-powered Acer Liquid Metal specs and images pop up

After the Liquid and the Liquid E comes Acer Liquid Metal. The rumored devices has just been spotted in the Internet and as its specs sheet reveals, the Liquid Metal will take the empty spot between Liquid E and the Stream in the Acer lineup of Android smartphones.

While the front of the upcoming device is made of glossy plastics, on the back there is a nice metallic (aluminum, maybe) battery cover. Right above it there is a camera (of unknown resolution) coupled with a LED flash.

Acer Liquid Metal comes in two flavors - silver and brown

The Acer Liquid Metal is said to run the Android 2.2 a.k.a. Froyo with the Acer Shell 4.0 on top of it. Under the hood there should be an 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7230-1 processor, 512MB of RAM and 512MB or ROM memory.

The Liquid Metal is expected to come with a 16M-color TFT capacitive touchscreen of WVGA resolution measuring 3.6 inches. Also on board there will be support for Bluetooth 3.0 as well as for the Dolby Mobile technology.

It is still unclear when the newbie will hit the stores and for how much.
