Whether you call it the Motorola Shadow, Phantom or the Mirage, rumours abound that Motorola’s upcoming high-end handset will actually be the Google Nexus Two; so let’s take a closer look at the specs and pics that have surfaced so far.
According to new information over at Mobile01.com the handset will come packing some impressive features that includes serious screen-acreage with a 4.3-inch 854×480 pixel WVGA capacitive touchscreen display.
From the look of the leaked images the Shadow/Nexus Two will come in a super-svelte frame, reportedly only 9mm thick, however, this seems unlikely given that there’s clearly a sliding Qwerty keyboard tucked away under that expansive screen.
Other suggested specs include a fully-featured 8-megapixel snapper with 1080p video capture capability.
It’s suggested that the handset will arrive in the first half of this year running Android 2.0/2.1, though if its in the latter part of this time frame we’d expect it to run Android 2.1, at least.
Current internet chattering pits the Shadow as the Nexus Two, but we can’t really see why at the moment. Sure, the Nexus Two is said to come packing a sliding-Qwerty, and so is the Shadow; but that’s about as far as it goes.
With few certainties to the situation all we can do is wait to see what Motorola and Google have to say about the “mysterious” Shadow/Phantom/Nexus Two handset.
