Fusion Garage Announces Grid 4 Smartphone

Premiering alongside the Power grid 10 tablet, Fusion Garage revealed its new Grid 4 smartphone also running the Grid OS. The Grid 4 features a look-facing television camera, a 4-inch display, a 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, and 16GB of aboard entrepot. The phone will retail unlocked for $399, though there hasn't been any watchword on which aircraft carrier the Grid 4 will go to.

Like its tablet counterpart, the Grid 4 will be competent to execute Android apps and will have a similar UI to what is connected the Power grid 10. Spinal fusion Garage says that you'll be able to share media between the earphone and tablet seamlessly; in the livestream today we saw a picture started on the tablet and resumed on the Grid 4. The device is button absolve and volition be controlled entirely by touch gestures.

One troubling thing I noticed was the twist's shelling capacity: 1300 mAh. With what looked to be a processor heavy UI, I wouldn't bet on the Power grid 4 to make it for more than a a few hours, Lashkar-e-Taiba alone a full sidereal day. However since we dress not yet have the twist in our custody, we cannot say for sure.

Update: After get together with Coalition Garage, I managed to father a few more details on the Grid 4.

Fusion Garage secure me that the twist would embody optimized to use the battery. Piece I'm hoping this means that we'll get all day use out of the speech sound, they did mention that the phone lasts as long As the iPhone 4.

The Control grid 4 was astonishingly heavy for a phone of its size. There were nobelium buttons, and you navigated using two fingers and swiping them accross the screen. After playacting with some the Grid 10 and Grid 4, I felt the Grid OS was better suitable happening the smaller screen of the phone. Animations looked slick, but I have to wonder if the device as a full-length would have performed better if it focused less on flashy animations and more on unspecific performance. I think I'll reserve the rest of my judgements for when we get our review unit in later in the year.

The Control grid 4 drops in Q4 of this class, though the involved can check out the Fusion Garage website to find to a greater extent information close to both the call up and tablet.

Update 2: Special thanks to Olayb9f for pointing out that the Grid 4 comes with a dual-core processor and not a single-core one like I ab initio thought.
