Sprint Announces the Motorola Photon 4G Smartphone – First NVIDIA Tegra 2 on Sprint

Today, Motorola and Sprint introduced the Motorola Photon 4G, as the first NVIDIA Tegra-powered phone on Sprints 4G network. This big-screened multimedia monster boasts a 4.3 qHD high-resolution (960×540) multitouch display, metal kickstand, HDMI-output support, an impressive 1 GB of RAM and the Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS. The phone has a 1700 mAh Lithium-ion battery and has a talktime right around 10 hours on both GSM and CDMA networks.

The Photon 4G looks like it will be very good for gamers as it supports Bluetooth game controllers that allow you to play Tegra Zone games, like Riptide GP, with the tactile feedback that only gaming controllers can deliver.
The Photon 4G takes mobile computing and entertainment to another level. Sure, you can surf the web, check email and even stream HD video from YouTube and any video-streaming websites using Adobes Flash technology. The video below was released by NVIDIA and shows you how the Photon 4G can turn into a gaming console. With HDMI-out and a Bluetooth controller (like the Wii game controller), you can get your game on with Riptide GP on your HDTV. Its all about options, and the Photon 4G offers them in spades according to NVIDIA.
