Equipped with the all new Tegra 3, the five super phones will deliver ultra-fast web browsing, high-quality gaming and extreme multitasking balanced with a long battery life.

Taking advantage of Tegra 3-optimized mobile games to deliver more realism with dynamic lighting, physical effects and high resolution environments, you can found these games in the Tegra Zone, NVIDIA’s free Android Market app which showcases the best games optimized for the Tegra processor.

Some of the highlights and key facts:

  • The Tegra 3 processor for super phones runs at up to 1.5 GHz and features:
    • Unique 4-PLUS-1 quad-core CPU architecture, including a fifth battery saver core that operates at exceptionally low power
