Dell’s first Android smartphone has received FCC approval. The Dell Mini 3i was released in China earlier this year as a stripped down, entry-level model. The FCC signed off today on a more advanced version, the Mini 3iX. This will include Wi-Fi and 3G mobile broadband, the two features most notably absent from the original.
The Mini 3iX will have the same design as its little brother, giving it a 3.5-inch, 360-by-640 touchscreen, 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS, and a microSD memory card slot. In addition to Wi-Fi and 3G, it will have Bluetooth.

This device will run Google’s Android OS. A special user interface was created for the Mini 3i by China Mobile, but this won’t be on a version released in other regions. Instead, Dell has developed a second custom UI (shown here).
Coming to America?
While FCC approval is an indication that the Dell Mini 3iX may be released in the U.S., it isn’t proof. Devices have to get FCC approval before they can even be legally be used in the United States, and many companies get approval from this government agency for models they know customers will carry when traveling.
