Verizon's Spring roadmap leak shows Samsung Droid Charge, Xperia PLAY coming in April
Share:
Verizon's ultra-fast 4G LTE network might be up and running, but there is only one handset making full use of those speeds. This, however, will change very soon as the 4G LTE-capable Samsung Droid Charge was leaked with an April 7th launch date. The LG Revolution will further revolutionalize the 4G experience when it arrives on May 5th and will be followed by the Motorola Droid Bionic, the Motorola Droid X 2 and the SamsungGalaxy S II later in May, all supporting the amazing LTE speeds, according to a leak on Phandroid.
The gaming-centered Sony EricssonXperia PLAY will hit shelves with the Verizon logo in mere two
weeks, but in the meantime feel free to check out our in-depth coverage of all of its gaming prowess.
In addition, the CDMA HTC Trophy
will also arrive on Big Red on April 15, equipped with Windows Phone
7. Finally, the HTC Incredible S, rebranded as the HTC Incredible 2, is
expected to bring joy to your senses with HTC Sense as soon as April 28th. With so many announcements, it looks like we're going to have a hot spring, doesn't it?

Why would they release two 4.3" LTE Samsungs (Droid Charge and Galaxy S2) and two 4.3" LTE Motorolas (Bionic and Droid X2) within mere weeks of each other? I'm all for variety, but what about differentiation?

they did say that dates are subject to change. Maybe this is some type of rough draft. :)

I share the same sentiment. It's good that carriers are adopting larger screens for those who need them, but I hope they don't neglect other market segments right from the beginning. There's nothing wrong with wanting or needing a large screen, but not everyone needs such, and many users (like myself) don't want to feel as if i'm carrying around a small laptop.
With that being said, I do like that Verizon is showing a bit of variety in offering several different types of 4G phones with 4.3 inch screens. As soon as they come out with phones that have 3.7 inch screens or less, i'm going to consider jumping ship.

As far as I know the Droid X2 will not be 4G. It will have an upgrade in the screen, RAM, and processor but will be a 3G device. Also the Trophy and the Galaxy 2 have only shown GSM versions at this point. I can't see Verizon launching all these phones at once some of them may be Q4 launches for Christmas shoppers.

As far as I know, the Droid X2 and Galaxy S2 will be 3G. I think this 'report' is mistaken...

I'm with you. I really want the Bionic, but that is a while to wait for me. Why are introducing these single core devices like this? Why not come out with the Bionic for those who don't want an HTC single core device?

Because single-core is more than competent. And most people are unaware of these phones and their clock speed. In all honesty, dual-core is superfluous.

Fair enough but it is something as a buyer that I care about. I'm not most people. I am an informed buyer, because I choose to research the 250+ object I'm going to buy. I just think it would be nice to have the option early. The major reason I want a dual-core is because I know as a high end device it will be updated. Single core is reaching its end in the high end spectrum. Pretty soon the Nexus One specs will be mid range. Also I don't like the HTC low battery life or the poor update history of Samsung. I am willing to give LG a shot but I might as well get the Tegra Zone gaming option with a bionic. Perhaps single-core is fine for you and makes you happy, but I see the speed and ability and it seems more worth the cost.

I just think there's a lot of confusion in the rumor mill. The May roadmap makes no sense to me. If it's a 4.3" qHD LTE Tegra 2, it's the Bionic. The X2 must be something else, and I doubt it's coming the same month.
Good to see the Incredible 2 listed as Global though.

Now that I think about it, the S2 and X2 don't really have release dates next to them. I think PA is misreading the list and that both of these devices are actually due later in the year. Given how thin both devices will be, they may be waiting for the next generation of LTE chips.
Notably missing from the list: HTC Merge (probably never at this point) and Droid 3 (late summer/early fall). C'mon Verizon, where are the qwerty phones?

April 7 is the Casio Commando, which is the G'Zone, military spec Droid I have been excited to try. Unfortunatly, is seems like a very mid range to low end offering, and may end up not being my solution. (sigh.) Love HTC products, so both the Incredible and Trophy will get some looks from me. Droid X2 is a great Motorola option. The first one was by far my fav Droid from Moto. Hope Otter boxes are available for protection from my chosen profession. This is a fun list, full of options. They may peak past Sprint for our buisness yet. It is gonna boil down to price from Sprint VS rececption and choice from Verizon. I still need a stinking Blackberry release for my Wife, come on RIM, crap out something so I can get off AT&T .....

Can't agree more with the last part of your statement. I know the list is a little unofficial, but its so depressing to see no new RIM products on there...

They have been really, really quiet, haven't they?

Considering Casio's reliability record, it might not be.

Soooo .... Casio G'Zone series has been unreliable? Curious .....

*sigh* Why can't there be a non-Motorola dual core phone coming?
12. derp (unregistered) posted on 30 Mar 2011, 11:28 5 8
Why cant there be a bunch of non-Android phones coming. They might as well just send customers a bunch of empty boxes because the productivity will be exactly the same. Android = fail garbage.
