Unlocked Motorola Photon 4G Cell Phone

On June 9th, UNLOCKED Motorola and Sprint hosted an event in New York City where they introduced Motorola’s first WiMax smartphone, the Motorola Photon 4G. The Photon 4G had been rumored to be Sprint’s version of the Motorola Droid X2 but as it turns out, the Photon 4G is actually quite different than its relative on Verizon. In fact, the Photon 4G is more like a souped up version of the Motorola Atrix 4G on AT&T.The Photon 4G rEVIEWS is going to be one of Sprint’s flagship devices, joining the HTC EVO 3D, when it arrives this summer and it’s going to directly appeal to those that do a lot of traveling because the Photon 4G is a world phone and will be capable of working on GSM networks around the globe.
The Motorola Photon 4G is a dual-core, world phone from Motorola and Sprint that will run on the U.S. carrier’s 4G WiMax network. It sports a large 4.3-inch touchscreen with qHD (Quarter High Definition) display – the Atrix 4G has a 4-inch screen – and is powered by a dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor. It also possesses 1GB of RAM and will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread out of the box. The Atrix 4G runs Android 2.2 Froyo.It also has dual cameras for those that enjoy taking pictures with their phone. On the front, we have a VGA camera for things like video chat and in the rear, an 8MP shooter that has dual-LED flash.

Besides being 4G and global, the Photon 4G also boasts an impressive specification sheet that should excite those who have been looking forward to a Motorola device on Sprint.

Like the Atrix 4G, the Photon 4G will also be compatible with the Motorola accessory dock which turns the smartphone into a laptop hybrid.

Motorola Photon 4G Release Date

Motorola and Sprint were unfortunately coy about a specific release date only to say that the Motorola Photon 4G would be out at some point during the summer of 2011. Not surprising, considering Sprint is launching another flagship phone, the HTC EVO 3D, on June 24th. So, look for the Photon 4G to hit shelves sometime in July or August.
