Photos show HTC Vigor in all of its LTE enabled glory

The first shots of the HTC Vigor were obtained by Droid-Life and the handset appears to be quite a specimen. With a 1.5GHz dual-core processor expected to rock the handset, Android 2.3.4 aboard and a 4.3 inch screen offering 720p resolution, the phone is full of vim and..ahem...vigor and is 4G LTE enabled. This dovetails perfectly with expectations that it is headed to Verizon on October 6th as the next big thing following the Motorola DROID BIONIC.

The back of the device says that the phone comes "with HTC Sense" which is no surprise. The big lens on the back has dual-flash beside it and their is a front-facing camera easily visible when you look above the screen. You might note the absence of any LTE or Verizon branding, but this is most likely a test unit.

Even without the Verizon logo on the phone, the color scheme is somewhat "DROID-ish" and some have noted the HTC Vigor's resemblance to the HTC DROID Incredible 2. Now if you keep in mind a couple of things, that the HTC ThunderBolt was originally thought to be named the HTC Incredible HD, and that the Vigor is set to replace the ThunderBolt in Verizon's lineup, you can add the resemblance to the DROID Incredible 2 and the stunningly high-resolution screen and come up with the idea that the Vigor will be the HTC Incredible HD.

Other specs that have rumored to be on the HTC Vigor include 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and Beats by Dr. Dre technology. Yes, this could be the first of HTC's smartphones to incorporate some software related to its new partnership with the company.
