Skype today updated their Android app to work with 17 more devices Esato News Skype with video call for Android devices was launched one month ago. Skype released an updated version of their Android app today with support for 17 new devices. The initially certified only four models: Samsung Google Nexus S Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo Xperia pro HTC Desire S Being certified means that the Android app will let user make video call in addition to regular call and messaging. Skype video call is free just like we are used to with Skype call. The list of new phone models supported are Samsung Galaxy S II Samsung Galaxy S Samsung Droid Charge - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab HTC Desire (2.2) HTC Thunderbolt - Verizon HTC Sensation HTC Evo 4G HTC Evo 3D HTC Incredible S HTC Desire HD HTC Flyer LG Revolution - Verizon (2.2) Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY Sony Ericsson Xperia ray Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro Acer A5 Skype does of course support other Android devices as well, but you will have to go into the settings page and enable video calls manually. We got a warning when enabling Video Call on an older Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 with Gingerbread 2.3 saying Although this device has not yet been certified to work with Skype, you can use it to make video calls. Please not that video call quality may not be as good as on a certified device. If you have Android 2.2 (Froyo), only the back camera will work. The video quality on our non-certified model was worse than on Xperia Neo. We could not hear any difference in the sound quality. Our most informed readers will notice that the supported device HTC Desire HD don't have a front camera. Video call using a back camera only does not work very well in our opinion.
