Skype makes video update on another 17 Android models available

Since the update to 2.1 will run on almost all Skype’s video calling Android smartphones with Froyo or higher (Screenshot: Skype) Skype has released version 2.1 of its eponymous Android application.. This makes it possible to 17 other smartphones with Google’s OS to perform well on Skype video chat. Among the newly supported devices include some 3D Evo HTC, HTC and Samsung 4G Galaxy Evo S2. Skype has also indicated that video telephony now on almost any device with Android 2.2 or higher is possible, even if it is not found in its compatibility list. The user must activate the feature, however, in its settings.

“If there is no option for video telephony in the settings for Skype are available, the device is missing one of the technical requirements,” said Skype ZDNet upon request. These include a camera and a processor that supports Neon. However, the quality on devices that Skype has not been certified, possibly something worse. For example, it was under Froyo not possible to use a camera on the screen, even if it is a back. Android solves this problem until 2.3.

Video telephony is available in Skype for Android only since June. For the feature works via both UMTS and WLAN. The caller does not necessarily have an Android device, he can also use an iPhone, a Windows PC, a Mac or a Skype-compatible TV.

Skype is currently updating its clients continue while it waits for the completion of its acquisition by Microsoft. The price is 8.5 billion dollars. By the end there is an approval of regulatory authorities.
