Over the weekend, an anonymous source leaked photos to Engadget of the rumored Motorola Admiral, a device that may be Sprint’s first smartphone running its new Direct Connect service, which is replacing the legacy Nextel / iDEN network. For those who haven’t heard, the Admiral is rumored to be one of three Sprint Direct Connect devices launching in Q4, featuring a military-grade ruggedized exterior, Android 2.3, and a single-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 processor, making it a candidate to replace Sprint’s current Nextel Direct Connect smartphones like the Motorola Titanium.
Motorola Admiral leaked yet again, this time in photos
This device has already seen its fair share of leaks — first, its name was leaked alongside another Sprint device that ended up hitting the market, then Sprint posted a preview video to its YouTube channel before quickly pulling it down. Despite all the leaks, we’re still waiting on an official confirmation or launch date.
