Motorola Olympus Tegra 2 Android Gingerbread Super Smartphone Caught in the Wild

Tweet

The Samsung (Google) Nexus S / Two keeps getting confirmed, denied, rumored and leaked again and again, but those of you that decided to wait for it to finally arrive instead of buying one of the currently hot Android handsets selling in stores, should be aware of another super smartphone supposed to arrive at some point next year, the Motorola Olympus, also known as the Droid Terminator.

We talked about the Droid Terminator/ Olympus before, but today it’s the first time we get to see pictures of it in the wild. Naturally these are somewhat blurry, unconfirmed images of this Android handset, so take it all with a grain of salt.

The Olympus – that seems to be what we’re going to call it – is the successor of the Droid X, only a lot better. The phone is said to have a large touchscreen display, probably a 4.3-inch one, a Tegra 2 chipset, a front-facing camera, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread under the hood to spice things up. Naturally this beast sounds like one of the Android phones to buy early next year, and, together with the Samsung Nexus S and/or Galaxy 2, the iPhone adversaries that have the potential to somewhat crush the iPhone, at least until the iPhone 5 will be launched.

What’s more interesting about this device is that it won’t be a Verizon exclusive. In fact the Olympus seems to have AT&T written allover it; well that’s not available in the picture here but AT&T is said to carry it at some point next year, along with other worldwide mobile operators.

The AT&T Olympus could be to the Verizon iPhone 4 what the Verizon Droid X is to the AT&T iPhone 4, the (almost) perfect rival. But, again, these are all conclusions drawn from bits and pieces of rumors and leaks, so another huge chunk of salt is required to take this Android whispers in. We’ll be back with more details for you as soon as Motorola and/or its carrier partners will start spilling the beans on this baby.
