Android fans — this one’s for you. A “well-informed” source of Mobile Crunch is saying that an upcoming Verizon handset dubbed “Scorpion” will decimate all previous Android handsets. Yes — even the Incredible and Sprint’s Evo 4G pale in comparison. Most notably, the 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor steals the rumor show. But tails of Froyo just sweeten the deal even further. The biggest twist is the reported carrier — Verizon. In past rumors, the Scorpion was Sprint/4G bound.
This source — “conflipper” — is a seasoned Android hacker whom is pretty confident in his predictions. But why should we believe him, a single hacker? Look back over the last 12 months at all of the upcoming Android rumors. How often has their been a leak or rumor that didn’t pan out within 80-90% of the original rumor? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
1.5GHz Android phones here we come.
