Our Pick on 5 New Android Phones for Verizon 2011

The Verizon users have been waiting anxiously for the new Android phones for Verizon 2011. Well, we also have been scooping the Android forum and post thread about the new Droid for Verizon 211, and we got the results for you. Not all of these Android smartphones are confirmed to be coming to Verizon, but we can assure you that it will worth your time.

New Android Phones for Verizon 2011 – #5: BlackBerry Monaco a.k.a Touch, a.k.a Storm 3. Verizon is also expected to be adding one of the new much more touch-focused BlackBerry’s sometime over the next couple of months, with one of the first of those new BlackBerrys said to be the all touch BlackBerry Monaco/Touch/Storm 3 (clearly the name is still very much a rumor). This new all touch BlackBerry, which we covered under that major BlackBerry leak in January, looks to be a top of the line BlackBerry and much better than Verizon’s first 2 Storms. And with specs like a clear, sharp, high-res 3.7 inch screen, fast 1.2 GHZ processor and the latest BlackBerry OS 6.1, this should make for a very solid BlackBerry.

New Android Phones for Verizon 2011 – #4: Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. How can we have an upcoming Verizon phone post without any mention of the PlayStation Phone? And Verizon knows how to combine game addict with the smart brain from Android. As was announced in February, Verizon is going to be getting the Xperia Play this Spring though as to when exactly that will happen we’re not exactly sure. After everything we saw of it in our first look back at CTIA, if you’re looking for a great gaming phone this will be perfect for you. It’s fast, sleek and games play great. Seeing as it’s almost May we should see this pretty soon hopefully at around $200.

New Android Phones for Verizon 2011 – #3: Motorola Droid X2. Verizon’s new Droid Incredible 2 isn’t the only new powerful 3G phone Verizon’s releasing this spring. Also expected to make an appearance between now and the summer is the next generation of another Droid, the Droid X^2 (meaning Droid X squared, like when you square something in math). Unlike the Incredible 2 however, the big changes here look to take place under the hood. The same thin design and 8 megapixel camera with flash are all still here, as is the massive 4.3 inch screen which gets an upgrade to look much nicer, clearer and sharper. The biggest upgrade said to be coming here though is in speed, and this new Droid X2 looks to be one of the fastest phones out there. Packing a 1.2 GHZ Dual Core processor and probably a RAM upgrade to 768 MB or 1 GB expect everything you do on here to be extremely fast no matter what it is; probably like watching HD video, playing games, texting, updating your Facebook or doing all at that and more at once!

New Android Phones for Verizon 2011 – #2: LG Revolution. Just like the Thunderbolt and Droid Charge, LG Revolution will be packing with a 1 GHZ processor, 4.3 inch Super LCD screen (like Samsung’s Super AMOLED this screen will also make everything on it look great), Android 2.2 (though hopefully with the latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread by the time it comes out), 5 megapixel back camera with a second front one for video chat, and 16 GB of built-in memory (upgradeable through microSD to 32 GB). We saw a non-final version of the Revolution briefly at CTIA last month, and while we couldn’t see how fast this is on 4G, the actual design of the phone felt great in our hands, the screen was sharp and apps were very quick to load.

And, can you guess which the number one for the new Android phones for Verizon 2011? We present you the one and only Samsung Droid Charge. This is something you’ll be seeing a lot of from Verizon this year: very powerful 4G LTE phones. And the Droid Charge is definitely on this list. While it’s pretty pricey at $300 with 2 year contract and $30 a month unlimited data plan, it’s still pretty powerful as Verizon’s second 4G phone with specs like a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Plus screen, 8 megapixel back camera and 1.3 megapixel front camera for higher quality video chat, Android 2.2 with Swype keyboard and Mobile Hotspot and 1 GHZ processor.  Whether this is worth going with over Verizon’s first and cheaper 4G phone, but you should be able to try both out for yourself at your local Verizon store once it finally goes on sale (which should be any day now once Verizon fully fixes a recent problem that completely shut down its 4G network two days ago).

So, there they are the new 5 Android phones for Verizon 2011.
