Does Android 3.0 Honeycomb require minimum specifications? The answer to this question is the true mother of the lamb for many devices that are currently feeding on the Android update process market. Although there are not a few who deny that it will require specific features to be compatible, the reality is that in the past CES 2011 all the devices where its operation could be verified were tablets.
From the YouMobile site, following this trail, they point out that Android 3.0 Honeycomb will not be a system for smartphones, but exclusively for tablets. Put like this, they point out that this platform will have minimum specifications. Which, it seems, would make the Google Nexus One, Google Nexus S and Samsung Galaxy S (probably the most representative Android in the current market) jump to a future version Android 2.4, and from there, to another edition that will not be Android 3.0 Honeycomb.
To justify this, from YouMobile they point out that the characteristics that a device should present to work with Android 3.0 Honeycomb go, at least, by the presence of a screen with 1,280 x 720 pixels of resolution and a diagonal of seven inches. Be careful, because if this is true, another device that would be left out of the race for Android 3.0 Honeycomb would be the current Samsung Galaxy Tab.
On the other hand, they suggest from that website that it would be necessary for the device to load a dual-core processor. This point is especially controversial, since Google has made an effort to deny the obligation for the mobile phone to have a chip of this type if it wants to work with Honeycomb. Finally, and this is perhaps the most incredible and unlikely, YouMobile suggests that mobiles that aspire to Android 3.0 Honeycomb will have to be compatible with 4G networks based on LTE.
It is difficult to recognize that Google limits the distribution of its devices so much, when in many global markets (among which Spain is found) there are no infrastructures installed for the communication of devices over this protocol.
