Motorola Kobe Joins the Jordan in Onslaught of Phones Named After NBA Icons
A new device named the Motorola Kobe – model number MB520 – is beginning to make its rounds just after we heard about the battle-hardened Jordan a few days ago. According to Engadget – who was able to confirm the device’s existence with their trusted source – the Kobe will be a slate-style smartphone with a 3.5-inch touchscreen, 3-megapixel camera, a TI OMAP processor, PowerVR SGX 530 GPU, 512MB of RAM, and 2GB of internal storage.
Not much else was said regarding the device (nor did we get an actual shot of it) but various benchmark runs show that – even with the underclocked CPU compared to other phones in Motorola’s lineup – the GPU on this device should perform very well. We expect we’ll hear more about both the Kobe (expected to be headed for AT&T) and the Jordan very soon.
