Motorola Shadow Android Smartphone Concept Emerges

Tweet

A new, interesting handset has been revealed and it wears the markings of a brand new Motorola Android smartphone design. Resembling the Motorola Droid, this Motorola Shadow is far more impressive as it might become, according to some sources, the Google Nexus Two.

The Google Nexus One, along with the Motorola Droid, are the best Android alternatives for anyone looking for a new Android device. But isn’t it too early for Google to already launch a new Google phone? The company sold only 20,000 Nexus One units in the first week, a not so successful launch so far. Sure, rumors suggest that the next Google phone will come with a QWERTY keyboard but is it going to be the Motorola Shadow?

What’s even more surprising is that Google would call Motorola to make a new Android phone for them. Don’t get me wrong, a Nexus Two from Motorola will definitely be a great device but does Google want to move away from HTC, the maker of the Nexus One? Should we understand that Google wants to explore other manufacturers? Or did the recent 3G issues with the Nexus One disturb Google execs and convinced them to try something else?

We can’t have any confirmation regarding the Google Nexus Two yet and it will probably be a while until we can announce anything for certain. Motorola however seems to be riding the Android wave to the fullest. Not only did the company come up with a bunch of Android phones lately but it is also the potential designer of the future Google Nexus Two.

The Shadow looks awfully similar to the Droid. It has a large touchscreen display and a full QWERTY keyboard. I’m not particularly fond of the wrist wrap, but hey, we’re only looking at concept photos for now.
