It appears that there’s a new cowboy in down and its name is Lead. HTC Lead, that is, and it’ll be spurring your interest soon, probably inside 2011 if they’re smart since NVIDIA’ll be changing the entire game again with their KAL-EL quad-core processor by the end of the year. This phone looks to be basically identical to every other HTC phone that’s been released this year save for the speaker grill above, which instead of being a long silvery thing is now a short black thing.
This device will be rolling out with a 4.3-inch display blasting through your eyeballs with WVGA, will be toting no less than Qualcomm’s MSM8660 1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, and will be rocking with 768MB of RAM. Also check out that gigantic honking volume dongle there on the left. Lookin great for audio adjustment in 2011! On the back there’ll be a 5-megapixel camera, on the front there’ll be NO camera, and there’s no word on a released date, version of Android, or version of Sense.
What could this be, then? A mid-range HTC phone with a dual-core processor? What else could it be with such a small camera, and only one of them at that!? Furthermore, who releases a phone at only WVGA in these days of Super AMOLED Plus colorblasters? This is quite the mystery wethinks and one to keep pondering until it turns to metal or it turns to fluff. Perhaps it’s the first Ice Cream Sandwich – would that be enough for you?
NOTE: according to additional specs, this device some with BlueTooth 3.0, Wifi 802.11 b/g/n, and Android 2.3.4. Gingerbread it is!
