6 Mobile Devices to Shook You in 2011

By “SHOOK YOU” I mean these phones will have great impact not only us(Consumers) but also on major tech companies. The new year is just around the corner, and major tech companies have promised us some innovative new products to arrive in coming months.

So here are some of the most anticipated mobile phones of 2011–check them out.

1.PSP Phone

The PSP phone has been a hot rumor for some time, but purportedly leaked photos have improved the rumor’s credibility. The images show what appears to be a modified PSP Go device running smartphone software. The PSP is a standout device that offers a fantastic gaming and multimedia experience in a small package. Could Sony finally have realized that it needs to support the PSP just as vigorously as Apple supports the iPhone? Let’s hope so.

Expected launch:February 2011.Expected pricing: Unknown. Expected specs: Android 3.0, 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, 3.7-inch or 4.1-inch screen, MicroSD slot (rumor)

2.White iPhone 4

The fate of the white iPhone 4 is far from certain as the device’s launch date has already been pushed back four times. Some observers speculate that we may not see a white iPhone until the expected launch of iPhone 5.

Expected launch: Spring 2011. Expected pricing: $199 (16GB) and $299 (32GB). Expected specs: 16GB or 32GB storage, A4 processor, 960-by-640-pixel retina display, 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, front-facing camera, iOS 4.2

3.iPhone 4 on Verizon

It’s been a long time coming, but the iPhone may finally break free of its U.S. exclusivity contract with AT&T and move to its second U.S. home (Verizon) in 2011. Beware, though: These rumors have been around for a long, long time, so don’t count on it just yet.

Expected launch: January 2011 (rumor). Expected pricing: $199 (16GB) and $299 (32GB). Expected specs: 16GB or 32GB storage, A4 processor, 960-by-640-pixel retina display, 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, front-facing camera, iOS 4.2, LTE support?

4.iPhone 5

Apple has produced a new version of its smartphone every year since launching the original iPhone in 2007–so it would be a shock if Apple didn’t launch a new phone in 2011. There are relatively few rumors about this device right now, but the rumblings are likely to grow louder as Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference approaches in June.

Expected launch: Summer 2011 (rumor). Expected specs: Faster, thinner, lighter, more storage.  Expected pricing: Unknown.

5.HTC 7 Pro and HTC 7 Trophy

CDMA Windows Phone 7 devices hit the market in early 2011. The Pro is headed for Sprint. Verizon is rumored to be getting the HTC 7 Trophy (pictured here), which has a slightly larger screen at 3.8 inches.

Expected launch: First half of 2011. Expected pricing: Unknown. Expected specs: 3.6-inch (Pro) or 3.8-inch (Trophy) 480-by-800-pixel resolution WVGA display, 1GHz processor, 8GB of onboard storage, 5-megapixel camera, 720p HD video recording.

6.Sharp 3D Android Phones

The Sharp 003SH and 005SH 3D smartphones are just hitting the market in Japan, but Android and Me spotted these devices making their way through the Federal Communication Commission’s approval process. Neither device requires the user to wear glasses in order to view 3D games and movies on the handsets.

Expected launch: 2011. Expected pricing: Unknown. Expected specs: Android 2.2 (Froyo), 1GHz processor, 9.6-megapixel camera (model 003SH), 720p video capture, 8.0-megapixel camera (model 005SH), up to 32GB MicroSD card storage support.
