Dell confirms new Mini 3 Smartphone with Android
| Tweet |  RSS Feed |
The Mini 3 smartphone is somewhat reminiscent of Apple’s iPhone with a full touchscreen interface. But Dell did not release any specs for the Mini 3, saying information would only be available on a partner-by-partner basis when the device is available in stores. This suggests Dell will be tailoring the Mini 3′s feature set for the particular tastes and needs of each country where the device is sold.
Dell did say the handset will be powered by the Google-backed Android operating system, and it will be coming to the carriers China Mobile and Claro.
Dell did not confirm whether the China Mobile version would have high-speed mobile broadband access. The China Mobile version is slated to be released in late November, and the Claro version will hit stores before the end of the year.
Dell comes into an increasingly competitive smartphone space filled with major players like Apple, Nokia, Research In Motion, and Samsung.
Dell did not tip its hand for further smartphones plans, but it did say it already has deals with various carriers, including AT&T and Verizon Wireless, to create opportunities in the future.
