LG and Motorola Will Release First Androids This Year

By the end of 2009 we are likely to see at least two Androids from both LG and Motorola, as Google speculated would happen earlier this year.

October guarantees us the release of both companies first ever Android mobile phones, Motorola’s “Shules” and LG’s “GW620”, both of which boast full QWERTY keyboards, 5 mega pixel cameras with auto focus, inbuilt GPS, wi-fi and a touch screen – both in a flip style design.

Detailed specs on both can be found at Which.co.uk.

The epic battle between the two Android mobile phones will be an interesting and intense one, with both phones boasting almost identical features, and both LG and Motorola choosing to aim the phone at buyers who prefer using their phones to social network and message above all else.

LG has the advantage of a larger following than Motorola in recent years, however if Motorola makes the Shules available on a cheaper plan than the GW620 it may see a return to the former glory it enjoyed in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The one innovation Motorola has made has been “Motoblur”; something Motorola claims is a technology unique to it, allowing a person to sync up their contacts, photos and messages from Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook and MySpace.

While LG boasts no such uniquely new and useful technology, it has stated that it has plans to release a whopping 13 new smartphone handsets over the coming 16 months, and is expected to unveil another three Windows Mobile smartphones within the next month, meaning they will offer a much greater choice to customers.

Stay tuned, as we’ll report more on Motorola VS LG after both phones hit the shelves in October.
