A fresh Motorola handset has bubbled up from China bearing the codename Shadow or Mirage. It looks to be a doozy, packing a 4.3” WVGA display, 8 megapixel camera with 1080P video recording, and an HDMI out port. HDMI out is a new feature that Motorola has been playing with on the Zeppelin and Sholes, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see it spread to their other handsets, like this Mirage. The source says this will be running either Windows Mobile or Android, though it’s hard to imagine Motorola having anything to do with WinMo with all of this great Android hardware flying around. In terms of style, it looks an awful lot like the MT710, only the specs are a solid notch higher. A release in China should be happening in the first half of this year.
