Milestone 3 arrives in Brazil running Android 2.3

No word on the acquisition announced by Google yesterday. This is the way that Motorola executives began a news conference in Sao Paulo in which the product portfolio for the third quarter was presented. The focus is on the Milestone 3, the third generation of those who, for a long time, was considered the direct competitor to the iPhone (currently have the Motorola Atrix for the task).


Android 2.3 running at full steam
According to publicity material, the Milestone 3 can be considered a "power mobile." The smartphone has the latest technology developed by Motorola. About Android "basic" (words of Bortolli Edson, director of Motorola's Mobility Products in Brazil) for resources specific to business users, such as the wipe of all documents held device and encryption.

For mere mortals like you and me, the Milestone 3 introduces dual-core OMAP processor clocked at 1 GHz (with its predecessor had only one processing core 1 GHz). The RAM is 512 MB, which gives life to the Google Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). Yes, this phone from Motorola comes standard with the most current version of the mobile platform. It's the least I expected for a release, inclusive.

Its display is 4 inches. It is large and bright, as I give demonstrations in the area of ​​the event. The screen resolution is the QHD, equivalent to 960 × 540 pixels. Unlike other products made by Motorola for the third quarter, the Milestone 3 has a display that does not disappoint in displaying the pixels: the concentration of dots per inch is much higher than in the Mini Screen, which was also shown today.

The Milestone 3 comes first in August 29 I live in (the prices and plans for the carrier were not disclosed). The company's promise is that it retails for a suggested retail price between $ 1,800 and $ 2,000. As usual, the other phone companies should offer good discounts for those who run into signing the contract 12 months.

Legend has it that the thickness of the new milestone is 1 mm less than that seen in its predecessor. For me it does not seem like much, but Motorola was celebrating this achievement during the conference. In my brief experience with the Milestone 3, I realized that the smartphone is heavy as previous generations: they are 184g, 169g compared to the previous models (according to the specifications published in PhoneArena).

When it comes to video, the promise of Milestone 3 is about: its 8-megapixel camera captures Full HD (1080p). Connected with HDMI, the phone also transmits video in that capacity for monitors and televisions.

And what about the Milestone 2? It continues to be assembled in Brazil and sold in retail and the operators, but with a price compatible with an older product.
