In order to survive a competitive business atmosphere, manufacturers now seem to bank more on functionality as opposed to affordability, devices such as HTC Sensation XE and Galaxy Note are best examples.

After making several appearances in blurry leaked images, LG Univa E510 (Optimus Hub) mid range smart phone has finally been unveiled; the newcomer was announced in Italy replacing its popular sibling Optimus One. As anticipated, the new LG Univa E510 comes with improved features and specifications compared to its predecessor Optimus One while maintaining its reasonable price tag. The introduction of LG Univa E510 is aimed at maintaining the manufacturer’s presence on the lucrative but competitive Android market segment considering the aggressive approach adopted by major industry players such as Samsung; Samsung has lately been unveiling different Android devices targeting various consumer brackets.

Samsung continues to develop a strong appetite for Dual Sim handsets capable of supporting two different Sim cards belonging to the same or different networks at the same time; latest reports indicate the manufacturer has introduced yet another Samsung E2222 Chat222 budget cell phone specially targeting individuals with more than one Sim card but want to use a single phone in keeping them active wherever they are. The introduction of Samsung Chat222 (E2222) slightly shifts the manufacturer’s association to Google’s Android operating system where it has literally recorded mass production of devices ranging from high-end smart phones to entry level devices. It was only recently Samsung introduced S8600 Wave 3, Wave M S7250 and Wave Y S5380 smart phones featuring its newest version of proprietary Bada v2.0 operating system, this came after Samsung’s major rival Nokia placed a deaf ear on Android’s explosion and consequently upgrading its own OS to Symbian Belle.
