What I’ve had the pleasure of working with today is a neat new phone for T-Mobile called the Samsung Exhibit 4G. We have mentioned this device in the past but today we have a little hands-on time to show you this little thing of joy. Apparently I’m colorblind and call it pink in the video but it’s more of a purple-violet color. What Samsung has delivered is a great mid-range Android phone for those that don’t need the best and today I’ll show you why.
It looks like today at SlashGear we have the big brother to the most popular HTC phones to date, that being the EVO series. We have the HTC EVO 3D for you and I’ve just finished unboxing this beast in all its glory. This device features most of those exciting new features of the HTC Sensation as well as many more exclusive to the EVO 3D. Back at CTIA we got our first look at the EVO 3D you can see that here, but today we got to enjoy it a bit longer.
Today LG has announced the launch of the new Optimus 3D. We have seen this device many times recently so this wasn't much of a surprise. It was first revealed in February and we got a little hands-on a few days later. LG announced that the Optimus 3D will be launching today, most likely in an attempt to be beat the HTC EVO 3D to market. Today I have the LG Optimus 3D sitting in front of me so I decided to do another hands-on for you all to enjoy.

We had high expectations for HTC’s first dual-core smartphone, and the company delivered with the HTC Sensation. A mixture of evolution and revolution, the family resemblance is clear: a 4.3-inch display like the Desire HD, only now running at qHD 960 x 540 resolution; a Snapdragon processor like the Desire S, only now Qualcomm’s new 1.2GHz dual-core MSM8260 processor; and HTC Sense, only v3.0 with a new intelligent lock-screen and HTC Watch for video rentals and downloads. All in all, the HTC Sensation is shaping up to be one of the smartphones to beat in 2011; check out our full unboxing and first-impressions after the cut.
Android tablets aren’t exactly in short supply these days. As well as the current big-name Honeycomb slates, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Motorola XOOM and ASUS Eee Pad Transformer there’s no shortage of low-cost alternatives and no-brand upstarts. Into the fray wades the HTC Flyer, fresh to store shelves today and managing to differentiate itself by virtue of its Sense interface, 7-inch form-factor and – perhaps most importantly – digital stylus.
“We wondered if you’d like to do an unboxing video” Samsung asked me, “of the new Galaxy S II.” It’s not the sort of thing you turn down: Samsung’s 1.2GHz dual-core smartphone is likely to be one of the biggest handsets of 2011, and that’s not just because of its sizable 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display. “What’s the catch?” I asked, expecting NDAs and embargoes. “Well, it’s an Extreme Unboxing” they told me, “you’re doing it in a 300bhp rally car.”
