\"\"<\/p>\n

I was poking around the Samsung Mobile World Cogress media site<\/a> just now looking at Wave’s specs and noticed, there at the way bottom of the page, a listing for the i8520, a nameless superphone running Android 2.1. Whoah. Turns out this is the Halo, and Engadget<\/a> has confirmation from Samsung Mobile reps that this thing is real and will run Android 2.1.<\/p>\n

Seriously, this is superphone territory: 3.7″ Super AMOLED display at WVGA resolution, 8 MP camera with flash, HD video capture, and DivX\/Xvid support, 3.5mm audio jack, 802.11 n WiFi, 16GB of storage and microSD slot … and … a built-in projector. Yowza!<\/p>\n

And it looks like Halo will run TouchWiz 3.0 atop Android 2.1, giving it a similar look at feel to the Bada OS running on Wave. Makes sense, even if I haven’t much been impressed by TouchWiz + Android to date. But TouchWiz 3.0 does look a bit cleaner than 2.x, so there’s hope here. Right?<\/p>\n

Halo will ship in Q3 of this year, but only in Asia and Europe. Maybe we’ll get a US variant later. Maybe.<\/p>\n
