Tegra 2 Gaming Comes to Sprint with Photon 4G
The rise of the SuperPhones is upon us. Sprint just announced that their Motorola Photon 4G is ready to roll and features the NVIDIA Tegra 2 along with 4.3 qHD high-resolution (960x540) multitouch display, metal kickstand, HDMI-output support, 1 GB of RAM and Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS.

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 Adobe’s Flash technology. But, it’s the Sprint Photon 4G’s ability to play optimized, console-quality games from Tegra Zone (which you can find in the Sprint Zone) that makes this Tegra 2-powered handset a veritable gaming console in your pocket.
Thanks to the NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor and GeForce GPU, the Photon 4G is capable of running multi-platform, console-class Android OS games with the kind of experience you expect from a game console. You can play games on the handset itself, or use HDMI-out to play the game on a big-screen TV. But, it doesn’t end there.
The Photon 4G 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.
