Monster quad-core HTC phone with 1080p screen headed to Verizon?
UPDATE: The GLBenchmark "GL Environment" and "System Information" tabs confirm a Qualcomm MSM8960 quad-core Snapdragon S4 with Adreno 320 graphics and World Mode LTE/HSPA+ radio.
But wait, we’re not done with the “what the heck is this device???” reveals – this Verizon mystery device has a screen resolution of 1794 x 1080. Yup, we’re looking at a 1080p device here. What’s that you say? 1080p is actually1920 x 1080? True enough, but that leads us to the next point – it’s apparently going to be the first HTC phone with with onscreen buttons. At 1794 pixels high, there would be 126 pixels left over for navigation buttons.
Given the unprecedented performance at unparallelled screen resolution, it would seem that we’re looking at an entirely new chip here, perhaps a quad-core S4 chip with the Adreno 320 GPU? Only time will tell, but there can be no doubt that this mystery device is packing some serious silicon beneath its Full HD screen. Also, given that we are talking about a Full HD screen, it seems likely that we aren’t looking at a 4.3” screen here; we’d say that 4.6-4.8” is more likely, and we may be talking about a 5”+ device that is entering into true phablet range.
