As previously suspected, Sprint’s announced their first dual-core device from Motorola.

Sprint CEO Dan Hesse and Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha appeared on stage at an event here to unveil the Android 2.3 “Gingerbread”-based Photon 4G and the Triumph, a prepaid handset that runs Android 2.2 “Froyo.”

The first dual-core phone to debut on Sprint, the Photon 4G is powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and runs the latest version of Android, Gingerbread. It has the same gorgeous 4.3-inch qHD display that we saw on the Atrix 4G’s as well as a similar webtop docking device (sold separately). When you connect to the webtop dock, you can access the full Firefox browser as well as a slew of specially-made productivity apps.

The Photon has a lot of business features including Exchange support, enterprise security and ships with 3LM’s Ready for Business software. It has 1GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage. It can also support a 32GB microSD card so you’ll be able to store all the photos you shoot with its 8-megapixel camera. Like just about every high-end phone to come out this summer, the Photon also has a front-facing video camera for making video calls. And, as its name implies, it can connect to Sprint’s WiMAX 4G network.
