The Photon 4G is powered by Android 2.3 or Gingerbread, and sports a 4.3-inch qHD display, a 1 GHz dual-core CPU, 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage memory (expandable to a maximum of 48 GB via a 32 GB SD memory card).

The device, distinguishable by a kickstand on its back that automatically switches the screen into landscape mode when opened, is slated to hit the stores this summer. Its price has not been announced.

It's nominally Motorola's third 4G device, after the Atrix and the Droid Bionic. However, count in the fact that the Atrix only supports HSPA+ (sometimes also called 3.5G technology) and that the Bionic has been delayed until summer 2011, and the Photon might be the first true 4G device to actually reach consumers.
