Samsung and
LG have already embraced the tiny-tablet form factor. It only makes sense that
HTC
would want to carve out a niche of this niche for themselves. Rumors of
a five-inch HTC device have been circulating for some time, but now a
report from
DigiTimes is lending some credence to those murmurings, and a mysterious handset from the Taiwanese manufacturer has popped up over at
GLBenchmark.
According to unnamed sources the company has been working on a flagship
level (One XXL?) device with a stunning 1794 x 1080, due to be released
in either September or October. If you're taking that claim with a
grain of salt, we don't blame you. But, an entry for the HTC 6435LVW
that just popped up at
GLBenchmark.com seems to fit the billy
pretty nicely. It has the same listed resolution, which we assume is
actually a 1920 x 1080 panel with room set aside for Android's soft
keys. The device info has it running ICS, version 4.0.4 to be specific,
on a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 -- which should make it quite the powerful
piece of hardware. The software build also singles it out as a Verizon
handset, which means it'll be packing an LTE radio as well. Whether the
rumored stylus is included, a la the
Flyer, remains to be seen, but, we shouldn't have to wait much longer to find out for sure.
