Most of the hottest smartphones at CES 2012 have one thing in common: They run on Google Android--with a couple of Windows Phone 7 exceptions.
Samsung, Sony, Nokia, HTC and many others are clamoring to showcase their smartphone offerings for 2012. Here are the phones that caught our eye on the show floor this week.
Nokia Lumia 900
Nokia refined the Lumia 800, already out in Europe, so it could be competitive in the United States. The Nokia Lumia 900's display got bumped up to 4.30 inches (from 3.7 inches), the company also added a front-facing camera and support for AT&T's growing LTE network. Pricing has not been announced.
Huawei Ascend P1 S
Huawei claims the "world's slimmest smartphone" title with the Ascend P1 S, featuring a 4.3-inch display with 960-by-540-pixel resolution, a dual-core 1.5 GHz processor, and an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with 1080p video capture. It runs on Android 4.0.
Huawei did not announce pricing or U.S. carrier availability.
Samsung Galaxy Note
The Samsung Galaxy Note is headed to U.S. shores, exclusive to AT&T's 4G LTE network. The 5.3-inch 1280-by-800 resolution display puts the Note in an interesting place between a phone and a tablet.
It's powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and contains an 8-megapixel camera on the back. Samsung has yet to announce pricing and availability for the Galaxy Note.
Sony Xperia Ion
The Sony Xperia Ion hooks into AT&T's LTE 4G network, has a 4.6-inch 1280-by-720-pixel resolution display, a super thin design, and a 12-megapixel camera.
The Xperia has a near-field-communication chip built in and will be able to read content stored in NFC chips. What's missing? A price tag and a release date.
HTC Titan II
The HTC Titan II's 4.7-inch super LCD screen is the largest display yet on a Windows Phone 7 device. It's powered by a 1.5 GHz processor and sports a jaw-dropping 16-megapixel camera with an f/2.6 wide-angle lens and autofocus.
AT&T will carry the Titan II, but no word when or for how much.
