So far we’ve seen two major leaks of a new HTC device, which appears to be a Galaxy Note competitor of some type with a 5-inch display. It first appeared in two blurry images, and then later in Verizon’s inventory as the HTC 6435 (or Dlx). Initial speculation said that the device would have a Snapdragon S4 CPU, 2GB of RAM, and possibly a 720p display. While some of those specs seem to be correct, more information has now come to light which provides a slightly more detailed picture of the device.
According to HTC Source, the Dlx will have not a 720p panel, but a 1080p 5-inch display, as well as 1.5GB of RAM, 16GB of built in storage, and a Snapdragon S4 processor. The 1080p resolution in particular is quite impressive, and results in a whopping 480ppi, which handily beats the 326ppi of the iPhone 4S.
In addition to the specs, a supposed press render was also leaked which you can on the right. It may be an early render, but I’m quite skeptical of this image simply because it appears that someone has photoshopped and stretched out the One X‘s homescreen onto a modified red and black HTC smartphone body. However, it could still give some idea of what the device will look like in official form, even if it is neither final nor official.
All these rumors have me quite interested to see what HTC announces on the 19th (this Wednesday), so come the 19th, we will certainly have all the details right here. In the meantime, I’m interested in knowing if a 5-inch smartphone from HTC is something consumers are interested in, so feel free to leave your opinion in the comments.



















If the rumored device does not include a quad-core chipset, then it be a good idea to bump the RAM upto 2GB.
Other than that it will be very impressive to see what HTC has to contend with Apple and Samsung.
hopefully the s4 pro
I think 5 inches is too big. I want a phone that fits comfortably in my hands and pockets.
if it’s being made to compete with the Note 2, then 5in ain’t enough!!!
Hopefully its got a microSD slot…
This looks sick!! To bad its only for damn Verizon!! Well hoping its just not for them, we’ll see on Wednesdays HTC Conference.
Was thinking about the Note 2, but I will wait to see whats in store for HTC..
I am all about the 5 inch screen its not that much bigger than the Samsung. Funny ive been bugging them at the verzion store to make mini tablets that work as phone”just use a bluetooth device” but they kept saying “no thats never gonna happen”. and i can use it as a tablet/navigator device in my car.. i can actually see! I have been waiting months for this device!
Cons* why did they not put 2gbs of memory in it?
Also has anyone heard if it has a battery of 2400? the motorrola razr maxx has a 3300 this thing better be packing for the distance.
Anyways im into HTC of any other company.. by far.
if these are the actual final specs…then i feel like my waiting was in vain, htc!!! i’ve been holding off on the note2, hoping that htc would blow me away with either a “phablet” or a bomb a** windows 8 phone…. hopefully, tomorrow brings better news than this….
If this HTC phone has a microSD slot, then it totally stomps the Note 2.
An SD slot would certainly be great. I wish that more manufacturers would include them, as they seem to be dying out.
I love the look of it! But too bad I just got my GS3 for less than two months.
apple is just being bombarded by other companies. it’s time for apple to mend things before things get too late and out of hand. a 480ppi screen would totally sink the popular retina screen
The HTC rezound’s 4.3″ 720p 342 ppi already beat iPhone’s 326 ppi retina display.
I don’t understand why more phones don’t use that display. It’s f-ing rad.
true but the popular display in the market is still apple’s “retina” display.
Personally, I’m sick of tablets and high powered high resolution phones being stuck with “mobile” sites. It’s time bigger devices like the Note and tablets get the regular desktop version. Mobile sites bite.
totally agree, but, minus the ads.
If that render was to be true, I would love that phone. Those red highlights truly make the phone stand out!
