Well what a week next week is going to to be. Not only do we have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Android Ice Cream Sandwich launching, Motorola also has something special up its sleeve. And to heighten the tension, it's put live a countdown on its homepage, reports Engadget.
At time of writing there are 80-odd hours to go till we see the Motorola Droid Razr unveiled, which makes it around 8pm on Tuesday night. Or will it be called the Spyder? Or the Droid HD? That's how much secrecy this is shrouded in, no one even knows its name.
What we do know is it promises to be one hell of a handset, if the leaked specs are anything to go by. It'll have a 1.2GHz processor and a whopping 1GB of RAM (double the iPhone 4S's), according to a leak yesterday. That should make it considerably faster than the iPhone 4S all round. Also on board are an 8-megapixel camera that's capable of shooting 1080p footage.
Oh, and it'll be the slimmest LTE 4G handset yet. While that doesn't mean much for us Brits, as 4G is still years away for us, anything slim sounds good to us.
Motorola teased us with a head-spinning video earlier in the week, with a razor blade popping up hinting it'll resurrect the Razr line for this handset. Which would mean it's going to be pretty special, as for years the Razr was its flagship line, being extremely slim.
But a mere seven hours later, at 3am UK time Wednesday morning, Google and Samsung are holding another event unveiling Android Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest incarnation of the Google OS. We're also hoping to see the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which promises to have a gargantuan 4.6-inch screen that's 720p HD, and should prove a more than worthy adversary for the new Droid Razr.
It's not often we find ourselves wishing away our weekends. Roll on Tuesday night!
