Mystery HTC 5 Inch Phablet Gets Pictured, Features 1080p Display

Posted: 01 Sep 2012 04:26 AM PDT


We’ve just come across fresh pictures of a brand new HTC phablet with a 1080p display, that might just be the HTC One X+ everyone is talking about. Although that model is rumored to have a Tegra 3+ 1.7 GHz CPU, this newcomer with a 5 inch display might actually end up with the quad core Snapdragon S4 processor.

The leak pictures don’t reveal that much, aside from a red ring around the camera and the edge of the device, reminding me of the Droid Incredible. This HTC phablet is rumored to sport a Full HD display, although a source says that the resolution is actually 1794 x 1080, because of the virtual buttons on screen from the Android UI. That theory doesn’t hold water, since we can see in these pics the capacitive keys below the display. I can also see a Beats Audio marking etched on the back and don’t be surprised if this newcomer also ends up with LTE on board.

Considering the HTC One X isn’t that far from this model, as far as diagonal goes, the resolution and CPU are the only selling points here, if you ask me. It would also be cool if this model had a stylus, but I can’t see where that fits in the package shown here.

IFA 2012: ZTE Grand X IN, the First Intel Chip-Based Smartphone From the Chinese Company

Posted: 01 Sep 2012 01:39 AM PDT


During this week’s IFA 2012 event in Berlin, ZTE unveiled its very first Intel-based smartphone, the ZTE Grand X IN. It runs on the Atom Z2460 processor, a single core CPU at 1.6 GHz with Intel’s Graphics Media accelerator at 400 MHz also involved, as well as 1 GB of RAM.

The handset comes with a 4.3 inch LCD display, with a 960 x 540 pixel resolution, good saturation and good brightness. Viewing angles are also praised by the people who saw the device in real life at IFA. ZTE Grand X IN runs Android 4.0 ICS and relies on Intel’s Smart Idle Technology to help the 1650 mAh battery offer a day of functioning time. As far as design goes, we get a plastic case, with a nice feel to the touch.

ZTE Grand X IN measures 9.9 mm in thickness, weighs 140.8 grams and at the back it sports an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash, while upfront there’s a 0.3 megapixel snapper. Internal storage is 16 GB, complemented by a microSD card slot and we also get NFC, Dolby Sound, FM radio, DLNA and HD voice in the specs list. The product debuts in September in Greece and Hungary and Germany, with a unsubsidized price of around 300 euro.
