HTC EVO ONE rumored to be headed Sprint’s way
Heads up Sprint subscribers, if the rumors are to be believed, it seems that come 4th of April, the carrier will be announcing their next-gen HTC EVO device dubbed the HTC EVO ONE. The device is expected to see an announcement on the 4th of April and will hit the shelves come 6th of June, and based on the specs, it looks like this device shares some traits of the HTC One X, such as a 1.5GHz dual-core Krait processor and LTE connectivity, the same hardware that AT&T will be utilizing for their version of the One X.
The device will also sport a 4.7” 720p AMOLED display, a whopping 2,650mAh battery and will feature 16GB of internal storage, an 8MP rear-facing camera, a 2MP front-facing camera, Beats Audio integration and will run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. While the device shares some of the same hardware as the LTE version of the One X, it seems that the EVO ONE will not be using the same chassis and will be in black and red and sporting a kickstand as well.
Of course rumors being rumors, we will have to take this with a grain of salt for now until either Sprint or HTC comes forward with official information. In any case, the 4th of April isn’t too far off, so we guess we will keep the speculation down to a minimum for now and wait and see if the rumors pan out. Until then, what do you guys think?
What is the world’s best kept secret? I suppose that would be a subjective question, with a myriad of answers for your picking if you were to take into consideration the different industries and niches, but where smartphones are concerned, especially with the HTC banner involved, then it would be the HTC One X9 being the next handset from the company. A set of photos of the alleged device has surfaced, and in these photos, it has more or less confirmed the overall design of the device – including its SIM card slot, power and volume button locations.
Other rumored hardware specifications include a 5.5” Full HD display, a MediaTek MT6795 SoC, either 2GB or 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, a 3,000mAh battery, a 13MP shooter at the back with OIS, and an UltraPixel front camera. All that we have to do now is to sit tight and wait for an official announcement concerning the hardware, and it is good to go.
Now here is a new handset (in a sense) that hails from the folks over at HTC, although it does not really pay homage to HTC’s motto of “Here’s To Change”. Apparently, the HTC One E9s Dual SIM arrived on the HTC India website with nary an official announcement, and do not be fooled by its name since it is far less an improvement over the HTC One E9 as opposed to the HTC Desire 820, taking into consideration this device is thicker, heavier, has a slower chipset, a smaller battery, and a lower resolution 720p display as opposed to the Full HD display on the HTC One E9.
Other hardware specifications of the HTC One E9s Dual SIM include 16GB of internal memory, a 13MP shooter at the back, a 4MP camera in front, 2GB RAM, LTE connectivity and as mentioned earlier, Dual SIM capability. Oh yes, throw in stereo speakers and Dolby audio, and you’ve got a “new” model.
We do know that the HTC One A9 is well on its way, but as to exactly when will it roll out to the masses? We do not really know, but what we do know is this – there will be an October 20th event that will be held by HTC, and chances are pretty high that will be the date on which HTC rolls out their new HTC One handset. Right here, right now, we will just have to make do with a bunch of leaked HTC One A9 photos, where this smartphone does seem to resemble an iPhone 6 where its design and form factor are concerned.
Of course, there is also a quick look at HTC’s very own Sense UI that will run on top of the Android operating system, in addition to rounded sides of an aluminum unibody and a microUSB 2.0 port – I guess that rules out the Type-C port that other handset manufacturers are starting to incorporate. Other than that, it looks like a loudspeaker resides on the bottom, with a lack of stereo speakers on the front. Check out the photo gallery after the jump.
