Spy shots of Nokia C2-06 Touch and Type slider emerge

A new member of the Touch and Type family showed up in several spy shots ? the dual-SIM Nokia C2-06. It?s a fairly low-end slider, with a resistive touchscreen and a slide-out phone keypad, 2 SIM cards (2G only).

The Nokia C2-06 looks very similar to another Touch and Type slider that leaked in March, though there are some differences (the area below the display mainly). The phone runs the touch-enabled version of Series 40 and has a resistive display (likely, QVGA again).

It is a dual-SIM phone but right now it is not clear if it?s a dual standby or not. The second SIM is easily accessible though, through a panel on the left. The Nokia C2-06 is a 2G-only phone and lacks Wi-Fi connectivity (it?s a low-end model after all), unlike its two official Touch and Type brethren.

The few other specs of the Nokia C2-06 Touch and Type are 2MP camera, 3.5mm audio jack, microUSB port and an a BL-5C battery. There?s an Ovi Maps shortcut visible but most likely no dedicated GPS receiver.

The Nokia C2-06 is a dual-SIM phone

That?s about all there is on the C2-06 Touch and Type for now. Nokia still has strong positions in the low-end market and a device like that can help out quite a bit, especially in developing markets.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play review: Bring your 'A' game

With video gaming a sport in its own right, smartphones have no other choice but raise their game too. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play has strong ties to Sony?s gaming rigs, both portable and not, and Sony?s a big name in gaming.

So, what does all this pedigree bring? Games from the original PlayStation for one, with PlayStation 2 titles coming in the near future. The PlayStation Pocket game store comes with 50 games at launch optimized for the Play. You?ll certainly also appreciate the familiar feeling and design of the gaming buttons. .

Sony Ericsson XPERIA PLAY official photos

So, let?s have a look at the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play. They stitched thumbs to the robot: meaning a DualShock controller stitched to a 4? touchscreen in a side-slider form factor. A smartphone version of the PSP Go but with more processing power isn?t far off the truth either. Especially now that the PSP Go is officially discontinued.

Here?s a quick summary of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play:

Side-slider with dedicated gaming controlsQuad-band GSM /GPRS/EDGE support3G with HSDPA and HSUPA4.0" 16M-color capacitive LED-backlit LCD touchscreen of FWVGA resolution (480 x 854 pixels)Android OS v2.3 Gingerbread 1 GHz Scorpion CPU, Adreno 205 GPU, Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 chipset512 MB RAM 5MP autofocus camera with LED flash and geotagging; WVGA video recording @ 30fpsSecondary video-call cameraWi-Fi b/g/n and DLNAGPS with A-GPSmicroSD slot up to 32GB (8GB card included)Accelerometer, proximity and ambient light sensorsStandard 3.5 mm audio jackStereo FM radio with RDSmicroUSB port (charging) and stereo Bluetooth v2.1Voice dialing Adobe Flash 10.2 supportDedicated game storeCPU and GPU not the best there isDisplay has relatively poor viewing anglesPhone is a bit big for one-handed useUnimpressive cameraNo smart dialingNo shutter key

That?s the smartphone half of the XPERIA Play equation. It measures up pretty good as a droid and even though it can?t compete with the latest flagships, it?s got more than enough on its spec sheet for day to day use.

Mobile gaming is at an all time high. Everyone carries a phone around and everyone has gaps in their day to fill, making mobile games the time-killer of choice for millions of people.

Those are usually simple games optimized for touchscreen input, usually with just one or two controls. But some want more compelling games and those require more elaborate controls. The XPERIA Play is the first phone in recent years that has the proper hardware controls. The added tactile feedback is a major plus. Android also seems as a nice software platform of choice for its potential.

Samsung readies a 2GHz dual-core smartphone for 2012

Isn't smartphone evolution just wonderful? We've only just arrived at the dual-core stages of the mobile evolution and we are just about to witness another huge leap forward. Samsung has just revealed what their plans for the future hold and there's plenty to get excited about.

A high-ranking Samsung official, who has unfortunately remained unnamed, went on record saying that his company is planning to release a 2GHz dual core CPU-equipped smartphone by next year.

Said official then mentioned that it would have been easier for the company to manufacture a 4GHz single-core CPU than a dual-core one of half the frequency, but given the battery life limitations they found multi-core CPUs to be the better option.

Samsung is also considering selling those CPUs to other manufacturers under their own Exynos-brand. Considering the performance of that first Exynos chip there might just be quite a lot of interest. Whether it'll be worth threatening the sales of their own smartphones is a whole other story of course, but it will be told another day.

One thing's for sure - these are some exciting times for smartphone lovers to live in.
