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 SSony Ericsson Xperia NeoXperia proHTC Desire SBeing 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 areSamsung Galaxy S IISamsung Galaxy SSamsung Droid Charge - VerizonSamsung Galaxy TabHTC Desire (2.2)HTC Thunderbolt - VerizonHTC SensationHTC Evo 4GHTC Evo 3DHTC Incredible SHTC Desire HDHTC FlyerLG Revolution - Verizon (2.2)Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAYSony Ericsson Xperia raySony Ericsson Xperia mini proAcer A5Skype 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 sayingAlthough 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.
