BARCELONA, MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2012 — LG’s making a strong showing at this year’s Mobile World Congress with a host of new Android devices, but the one that really intrigued us when we stopped by their booth this morning was their brand new flagship, LG Optimux 4X.

BARCELONA, MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2012 — The last of Samsung’s interesting announcments at the Mobile World Congress is the Galaxy Beam. It looks like a regular, if a little chubby, Galaxy smartphone, but when you press a switch on the side a 15-lumen projector flares into life. The demo was in a dark (and crowded, and sweaty) room so we could actually see the images it throws out, but even so, it came off better than most pico projectors I have tested.

The Motorola DROID 4 is rumored to be launching in the next week and this 4th generation QWERTY received a lengthy hands-on with the guys over at Wirefly. For those who prefer a phone with a physical keyboard, the DROID 4 takes the cake. It features a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, 4″ qHD display, edge-lit 5-row keyboard and Verizon’s 4G LTE. It already has a landing page over at DROID DOES where you can check out all the specs, and now thanks to Wirefly, a nice first look. If you were considering picking up the DROID 4, give the video a view after the break and keep your fingers crossed for a February 9th or 10th launch.
