HTC Saga gets on camera again, runs Froyo in a unibody design

HTC representatives, burdened with the task to test new devices, should really try a little harder to hide them, as more shots of what seems to be the next Android flagship by HTC emerge. Unlike the previous encounter with the phone in a subway, this time the photos are way better and for the first time show the back of the device as well.

The guy who briefly got a hold of this Desire look-alike says it?s got a unibody design, just like the HTC Legend and HTC 7 Mozart. After a quick check in the About menu of the device, it?s been confirmed that Froyo 2.2.1 is running. However we cross our fingers that at launch time, it?ll be blessed with some Gingerbread magic.

On its back the HTC Saga has what appears to be a 8MP snapper with a LED flash. Also, as any HTC Android device, this one will be no different and will run the latest version of the Sense UI.

We're looking forward to seeing more of this one at the MWC 2011.

LG Optimus 3D teases with another video, design looks cool

The Optimus 3D is the LG's upcoming big announcement. We already got its first teaser promising something almost miraculous is coming, but here is another one. With this video the focus is on the design.

According to LG, the Optimus 3D will be "The world's first Dual Core-Multi Channel" smartphone. Whatever that means. Only Android v3.0 Honeycomb makes use of the two processor cores (multi-threading) natively. Google already declared Honeycombs as tablet-only, so we are not going to see it in a smartphone. So it's possible that the Optimus 3D comes with a new version of Android altogether.

But enough talking, here is the new teaser:

The clip doesn't reveal much, but we see the design of the back for the first time. You can clearly spot the two camera lenses that should allows for capturing stereoscopic video much like the Optimus Pad.

We'll see more of the Optimus 3D next week at the MWC 2011 in Barcelona.
