Has Google's G1 Handset Undergone 'Plastic' Surgery?

09 May, 2009, 1:33 pm IST | by Shayne Rana | Smartphones

Personally, I’m not a fan of Google's first Android handset, the G1. However, it seems like others had the same opinion and reports are in that the G1 is heading for a rework. An image of this revised edition of the Android powered smartphone, being called Bigfoot, has been making rounds.


The new handset is built on the original design of a touchscreen headset with a slide-out QWERTY keypad. The handset’s lower portion or the “chin’ as it was called has been done away with (thank goodness). I was beginning to think of it as the Jay Leno of the mobile world. Since the image seems to portray a slimmer, sleeker device we’ll have to wait a bit to find out if the handset will still incorporate all the features like the 5 megapixel camera etc. so stay tuned.
