Skype Enables Video Calls on 17 More Android Devices

Skype announced in June one-on-one video chat for Android, but the feature was only available on a handful of smartphones. Now, the company has launched Skype 2.1 for Android, extending the support for video chat to 17 new Android smartphones and tablets.

The full list of devices that now support video chat includes: Acer A5, HTC Desire (2.2), HTC Desire HD, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Evo 4G, HTC Flyer, HTC Incredible S, HTC Sensation, HTC Thunderbolt - Verizon (2.2) (U.S. only), LG Revolution - Verizon (2.2) (U.S. only), Samsung Droid Charge - Verizon (2.2) (U.S. only), Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy S II, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro, Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY and Sony Ericsson Xperia ray.

If your Android device is not on the list but runs Android 2.2 and above, you can still enable video calling in your Skype settings with the new option, "enable video calling." If it's not working, then it means your device does not meet the minimum requirements for this feature.
