tablet looks very good
Well.. I'm really disappointed. I mean REALLY. When you compare the hardware it's almost nothing new.
HTC Desire S vs HTC Desire
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3776&idPhone2=3077
I'm a HTC fan since many years and it's hard for me to say this, but HTC is really behind now and is only trying to make money and sell us BULL****!!!
Just see the comparison and you will know what I'm talking about... minor changes. NOT EVEN THE PROCESSOR HAS CHANGED!!!
The Incredible S is also nothing new under the sun. Not even a dual-core processor... No 1GB of ram.
Seriously, HTC, WHAT THE ****?
The hardware specs of Galaxy S II can eat HTC's newest devices for breakfast.
And HTC really made a big mistake because right now it's no more about the software, it's the hardware that matters. Android is almost the same on all devices and with a community like XDA everything (costumization) is possible.
RIP HTC, I will never buy a device from you anymore.
I feel pretty let down by HTC's showing at MWC.
I was expecting an Atrix/Galaxy 2 rival (aka the Pyramid) and they show us unibodied versions of phones that have been out since last year with slightly bigger batteries running Gingerbread.
I don't know whether to jump ship to the Atrix or to wait and see if they produce the Pyramid at a later date.
I'm not particularly interested in the Tablet, and if I was to get one i'd get the Moto Xoom or Samsung Galaxy 10.1 as they are pretty much the same as each other anyway with stock Honeycomb, rather than a massively skinned and shelled Gingerbread device.
HTC needs to stop trying to insist upon making Sense the core product they are selling and start making some big leaps in hardware, and soon..
Fail
I was expecting a dual core android 2.4 phone with physical keyboard and a android 3.0 tablet. None arrived...
Very dissapointed.
Was hoping for the Pyramid - something to rival the Galaxy S2 in terms of hardware specs.
I really want a HTC and was waiting for this news to determine how to proceed.
If you want the technology the Galaxy S2 seems to be the handset to get, but Samsungs TouchWiz just doesn't even compare to HTC's sense.
For me its the Desire S for now.....I need Sense in my life.
WHERE IS THE PYRAMID!!!!!!
remind me again why i should get rid of my N1?
oh yeah nothing... HELLO!!!! HTC!!! are you even trying anymore?
the only thing turing me off of the Atrix was the possible locked boot loader, and wanting to see what HTC was about to push out....
now that we have one thing off the list.... i feel that i may be leaving HTC for a while until they get their act together... maybe thats what they need... sales not to climb like they have, an actual slap to their bottom line that says consumers are done buying the same thing over and over... but sadly, even with the numbers we have, until the masses relize this, HTC sale numbers will continue to rise and no real reason for them to change...
in their eyes, if it aint broke, why fix it?
for me, its a total dissapointment.
i mean WTF ARE THEY THINKING
its the same ****.. AGAIN
there is still no phone that would be a REAL upgrade to my HD2..
i hoped for a new flagship.. i hoped it so bad..
i hoped for something that would frag all others away.. but they stay at the same level.. just to get even more money out from the same old **** >.>
only good thing of htc this time was the tablet. but thats it, and i guess they will overprice it, so i won't get it
i'll stick to my HD2. **** you HTC, u idiots
Sent from my HD2
like all of you, I'm very disappointed... where is my Pyramid!!?
Meh, totally under-whelming.
Build quality of the Desire S sounds nice, and i wouldn't mind having one, but it's not specced any higher than my N1 and of course is full of 'Sense' crap which i'd have to nuke from orbit before using the thing.
im really thinking of totaly switching to moto now
the atrix and the xoom tab are just too cool...
and more sexy.
Whats up Guys @ HTC
Every Smartphone producer shows their flagships at MWC this week, and HTC???
Not even one word about the Pyramid is in planning?
Sure we have to wait...
(it was the same with the Snapdragon 1GHz Processor, the TG01 was 4 months before the HD2 out)
And im pretty sure the wait was worth it!
So now we can buy soon (non HTC ):
- Many Dual core (even different Processors) Phones
- 3D Display Phones
- Ultra bright Display ( 700 Nit - Daylight usable) Phones
- Ultra thin and light (Dual Core) Phones (~8,5mm)
And whats coming from HTC? - only a "Sense" with streaming, and an "new" Facebook Button
Where is the Successor of the HD2
Come on HTC, you have to be the carriers of technology, dont get lost in Software ...
Phones are still made out of Hardware!!!
Give the people a Dream - a Dream we want to wait for :
Oh, and this will be such an Dream:

The Galaxy S II has some fantastic hardware, but I decided because of the complaints people have about software updates etc that I would wait and see what HTC had on offer before making up my mind. Having seen it I have to wonder what exactly are they thinking? Sure they're well built phones, but why do they feel satisfied in pushing out fairly old hardware.

Of course. It may well be that they thought a more reasonably priced (if indeed they are reasonably priced) phone would be just what the market needs. It just seemed remarkably out of place for them to wax lyrical about phones that are remarkably similar to their current generation except with new software.
HTC should really make Sense downloadable through market as a launcher instead. I just hate it. It's ugly and doesn't really make a difference for me.
Regarding the new phones there is nothing really impressive. The new Tegra2 dual core phones that are coming out (LG and Motorola) will most likely blow any of those HTC phones away. I believe they also have integrated geforce graphics so nothing should really be an issue on those phones.
My Wildfire have been a disappointment so I wouldn't even consider a HTC phone again unless I was 100% certain I could make it good.
One devices than can beat the Desire HD?
I stopped paying attention to smartphones a long time ago.
But the HTC Flyer actually catches my attention as a useful Android tablet for once. No Honeycomb is a bummer (Android is already too fragmented!), but it does have an N-trig DuoSense digitizer and apps to use it with. More than I can say for a certain other US$800 Android tablet.
Maybe I won't have to keep looking specifically at Windows Tablet PCs for a viable pen and paper alternative.

The HTC Pyramid, a 4.3 inch device that will be powered by a 1.2GHz processor<not dualcore> has shown itself on the internet again. In addition to this, the device will have 768MB of RAM along with an 8MP rear and 1.3MP front facing camera on board. The rear of the device shows Google branding, but lacks the "with HTC Sense" that we are used to seeing on these devices, and the device is said to be running Android 3.0, Honeycomb. Now, we are unsure of the truth behind all these specs, but we sure do hope that HTC will confirm all of this for us next week at CTIA

Until HTC invents a larger battery it will not be able to offer dual-core.
Yes they will. Dual core phones use less power because they can turn off 1 core and use less power than any other phone with 1 single core. When the dual core does kick in it probably means the phone is on a 100% load or so, which means that any phone would use a lot of power. The difference is not as big as you would think.
There are rumors that this phone will have a dual core processor.
That article does not state that the pyramid is not dual core. It neither confirms nor denies the number of cores. There are other rumoured specs out there which suggest it will be a dual core snapdragon. Just google it.
Given the fact that competitors have released dual cores, htc will wish to follow suit. Not doing so will cost them market share.
If the other part of the article is true and it shall be another google nexus then that will be truly interesting. I wonder if they will also release a similar spec sense phone in the fashion of the nexus one and desire. If so it will be hard for me to look past the nexus pyramid. It will be dev heaven as google policy is to allow the user to easily unlock the bootloader. Plus if the hardware is largely identical, it will get sense ports.

There is 1 sign that tells us it might be the new nexus, and that is the fact that it's stating Google on the back. But Another thing that nexus phones don't have, is a HTC logo on the front. So the only sign telling us it's a google phone on the back is being invalidated by the front of the phone.
I have a feeling this will be the Nexus Two (or whatever) with HTC branding on the front. The Nexus S is known everywhere as the Samsung Nexus S, so it could be a logical extension of the manufacturers branding.
It seems to make sense that the next Nexus phone would have a qHD screen, dual core CPU and be a 4.3" device, after all this is where lots of phones are going and the Nexus line is meant to offer some sort of reference design.
After the Nexus S, which I am now selling so I can keep my Desire HD, I would welcome a Nexus phone from HTC again.
As for the OS, I wouldn't be surprised if there was an Android Honeycomb for phones version (which could be a 3.x or 2.4 or something else) and this device launches that version. I cant help but remember that the HTC Passion name was rumoured for months before the Nexus One came out, this device may not be out for months yet....
On the other hand, this could be all be fake. Or the Desire HDS or something...
HTC Pyramid is dual-core. But it falls behind Atrix and LG 2x in graphic and performance tests.
Link to tests:
http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/for...60-smartbench-2011-result-have-been-revealed/
Seems like the new Adreno 220 is weaker than Tegra
Can't make a judgement until it hits production. Mind you it could also be nvidia fermi all over again.

That new PowerVR SGX543MP2 is a BEAST!! Have you guys seen the benchmarks compared to the Tegra 2? It annihilates it.
As for the Pyramid. It does have a dual core. The recent benchmarks with the Adreno 220 are not accurate because release is still ways off and drivers are still maturing. Give it time. btw this phone looks absolutely stunning! Best looking device i've seen honestly.
edit: speaking of unreleased htc phones, have you guys seen the HTC Inspire? Sure it's Windows Mobile 7 but the design is also jaw dropping.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PHONE BRAND?
And if you want tell why , post a comment
My:
HTC , cause I like 99% of their phones. I'm not a fanboy , i like the sense & android phones and too much the HTC's appearance.
I also like to have 180gr phone , with good quality costruction , LED notifications , and all. I will never buy one another phone brand since i have used HTC's phone , the prices are always high but the quality not changes. Also i think Samsung it's more popular as phone cause they make TV's MP3 and another things. I hate iPhone , their stupid publicity's on the television that shows one stupid feature to grab more iPhone fanboys to spend their cash. For the end i like HTC because:
1. For me are the best since i have tryed 4-5 phones.
2.Semi-alluminium cases and build quality
3.Their UI's on winmo , and also android are the more beatiful , and easy to use.
4. They make only phone's and not washing machines like samsung.
5. They are always the first: Android phone was the htc first to use it , 4G (?) 3D (?)
ZTE* SORRY
EDIT 1/08/1012
SEEMS THAT HTC & SAMSUNG PHONES ARE THE MOST VOTED , I WOULD LIKE IF SOME ADMIN/MODS TO KEEP THIS THREAD AS STICKY AND NEVER CLOSE IT , ON THIS WAY WE CAN SEE WHAT BRAND'S ARE THE MOST PREFERED BY XDA-DEVOLPERS USERS!

Sammy because they actually optimized their software.
It used to be HTC till they let themselves be held back by the crappy Qualcomm CPU's when everybody just outperforms them easily, also their screens are behind the Super AMOLED and IPS tech now being used thus more washed out than the rest, and lack of software optimization
Sammy gets my vote since they combine best cameras, best screens, best horsepower, and actually optimzes their software to work well too. Wish their build quality was better though

HTC,
Sense is a very attractive peace of software they've came up with. First android phone was made by HTC and had Sense. Became so used to it, I now won't buy a phone that isn't made by them...
The Nexus one is my only exception to a phone without HTC Sense, but funny that it is made by them.

I totally agree with you...
After a Magician, the brilliant Universal, the ok Trinity P3600, and the hobbled HTC Tytn II (which only matched previous phone video capabilities after the hardwork of Chainfire and others), that was it for me and HTC.
The Tytn II was powerful and well built (I dropped it off my GSXR 1000 when using it for sat nav and it only got a scratched....ok it was only 40 MPH), but limited drivers...How can you ship a phone that has slower video than an older model as stock?
Anyway, I believe Samsung (with the Galaxy S) was the first Android phone manufacturer that put the fight to Apple and the iPhone, with superior hardware and a slick UI running Android. I believe it also helped create more publicity for Android and turned potential iPhone purchasers away.
The iPhone was a collection of amazing cutting edge hardware (especially in GPU accelerated 3D graphics) and it had a brilliant user interface operating system that made good use of all of it.
I don't like Apple and the way they restrict what can be put on their device, but it's hard to ignore that without the iPhone, we wouldn't have Android as brilliant and superior as it is in it's flexibility, ease of use and multitasking.
We would have another Blackberry style device...urgh
Motorola hands down.

HTC
I like how their phones look... They all look alike so that's the good part! and they feel durable unlike the plastic like Samsung which feels like its either going to brake easily or its going to float away.
Sense it good and hopefully it gets better cuz HTC is like that
Used to be HTC when their designs are actually cool and unique, now its Samsung, since I realise every single manufacturers are going iPhone-clone looks anyway, might as well woot for the one with the constantly evolving specs.

2-Easy to root and unlock.

I voted HTC for current smart phone brand since that is what I'm using now and have been very happy with it.
love the design, build quality, and the beautiful UI.
I really want to like Samsung but they really need to do something about all the plastic.
plus they need to get away from the Iclone look. Galaxy Nexus is a good start though. hopefully they embrace that design and move on from the current look of the Galaxy S line.
but having said all this, my legacy brand is Motorola. hey, grew up in the era of MicroTac, what can I tell you...

Well, even though it has it critics, and I do go through periods of using AOSP (and prob will on the S once it's available and stable) I still think Sense is the best custom UI on Android. Simple really, SGS3 can't match that element
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Supposedly its going to have a 1080p screen, to me this is a bad thing.
1) I bet it is bigger than the ONE S and I wasn't quite happy with the size of the ONE X
2) It takes more horse power to run it, so its processor and graphics may be higher but side by side performance will probably be similar due to it having to push more pixels about the place. Also.. 1080p.. on a phone... What's the F'in point??
First i'm 100% sure that Galaxy S III won't have 2gb of ram neither 1080p screen. Its a next generation and since theres obvious settlement betwen manufacturers you can expect same specs as One X. And i'm also pretty sure that it won't have SD card, every manufacturer stops using them, why should they use them, about removable battery i'm not sure, if new galaxy is gonna be thinner then i guess it will have non removable battery.
I think the S3 will have 4.7 screen, so its big, also display will be as good as X. About other specs - I suspect quad core processor, some good graphic component, rumors about 12mp camera.
But anyway, there are only rumors atm, and Im not fan of S2, so I will go for One S as soon as it avaible here

But then again, i don't want to wait. Im tired of Samsung's plastic devices, ugly touch wiz, and international Galaxy S3 will be different from the US Galaxy S3, which will hinder dev support.
Im sure the one s will have great dev support like the sensation. Every one S around the world will be the exact same and will run the same roms.
The only thing i was hating about htc phones was the bad slcd screen, so happy theres amoled now, and i dont care if its pentile.

kinda yes, I really like GS2 and SAMOLED Plus is great. But we still don't know if GS3 will be SAMOLED HD or SAMOLED HD Plus. It's most likely be the same size as One X, packing same or better CPU, probably same or better quality camera, and most likely missing things like notification light and noise canceling mic.

Same boat as @tf442. I have a "first month out" Vibrant and GPS has been abysmal from the get-go. I have flashed at least a dozen ROMS (probably more)from Bionix, Trigger all the way to ICS 4.0.4 and they vary, but still no where near other manufacturers GPS. I will not give $$$ to Samsung since they went on the pine in acknowledging any issues with GPS. That, and quit with FROYO. Not good for a top-end phone at the time.
I am eligible for upgrade now, but I don't think I am going to. I might wait out until mid to end-year to upgrade. I am pretty satisfied with my G2 still. Everyone swears it's a great backup phone, but I like it as my main phone all the same.

I was waiting to decide but now I've made up my mind on the One X, despite not having a changeable battery or external microsd, I'd rather have that instead of a cheap flimsy back case on the s3, or cheap plastic ugly squarish centre button
I was looking forward to the S3 until I saw it, it looks like ****, is it just me? curves are too deep around the edges, looks like that old webos phone the palm pre if I recall,
the s3 has some good specs close to the one x but the phone design and the ugly touchwizz ui lets it down, the icons look like they were built for an old nokia colour phone back in the days of 8310,

couldn't agree more, already have my one x and the design seems so much more modern and sleek than the s3, i was willing to trade up to the s3 if it was good and because sammy's have always had a strong dev community here on xda, but i am disappointed by the s3, feel like they held back alot

I was waiting to decide but now I've made up my mind on the One X, despite not having a changeable battery or external microsd, I'd rather have that instead of a cheap flimsy back case on the s3,
I was looking forward to the S3 until I saw it, it looks like ****, is it just me? curves are too deep around the edges, looks like that old webos phone the palm pre if I recall,
the s3 has some good specs close to the one x but the phone design and the ugly touchwizz ui lets it down, the icons look like they were built for an old nokia colour phone back in the days of 8310,
long live htc!

Who gives a crap about touchwiz or sense for that matter...AOKP FTW on either phone.
you can say that again, no doubt the s voice will be ported over, thats the main feature and motion controls
the ui just sucks, ive never liked samsungs ui's
their tv's are good and thats as far as it goes for samsung with me, I held up on the One X cause of the S3, and it's seems like a waste of time,
I'm actually pissed off and it's bothering me,
I'd rather get a decent UI with the phone rather than wait for roms and rooting etc. you know what I mean?? and no It's not just the launcher I'm talking about, its the whole ui itself
I've got the sensation XE and been using Sense 4 on it and all I can say it is fantastic,

They did hold back a lot. But it was still enough to take back the speed crown...

Problem is that I'm not waiting for the fall/winter to get an LTE version with an S4. So I'm going to be getting the AT&T One X now.
I'm in the same boat.
I'm a serial ROM flasher on my orginal GS, and have been running CM9 for some time now. Legend of a phone but it's showing its age now.
Didn't get an SII because I wanted to wait for the SIII, did and am totally disappointed with it. Not interested with the heavy emphasis on software rather than design - it is horrifically ugly!
I'll be going to the Three store and picking a One X up tomorrow
I hope the dev community shows the One X lots of love... my initial thoughts are how great it would be to see a One X running CM9 with the Sense camera.... although I understand this is almost like asking the impossible
Flashing the One X seems like a lot more work than the GS/GSII. I hope they aren't easy to brick
S3 is designed with nature in mind, stones and leaves and water. ONE X is designed with the future and awesomeness in mind
according to this the one x (us version at+t) is superior as the htc one s is

Should i start a thread saying "wanted to buy One X but going for SIII"? Anyway, for all the $%$% happening with OneX hardware/quality wise I would gladly jump from LG's O3D to SIII. Can't wait

Problem is that those benchmarks were written to test only single or dual core processors. There really isn't a good bench marker out yet to effectively measure quad core phones.
Why would Samsung or HTC put out quad core phones that under perform a dual core processor that they were only forced to use because the quad doesn't support LTE?
In that case, the One S is better than the Global One X, which we know they would not allow to happen as it would hurt sales of their flagship.

You are correct I have noticed the One S's benchmarks, and that is annoying in itself!! lol let's just ignore the One S for now..

wonder how long it will take to get a decent rom on the s3, damn that thing is ugly (touch wizz)
& the AnTuTu scores are.....
I'm not a benchmarking fan as they don't tell the full story, but AnTuTu is true multi core testing & I've always found it to be the most reliable in the past - especially when checking different custom roms & kernels on past devices.

You basically just said something (marked in bold) that has been on my mind, it wouldn't make sense for phone manufacturers to put out quad cores just to have them beat by dual cores. That's simply thinking logically
Hope we see increased quad core bench marks soon. Blah, who gives a damn. They are just digits, In the end, in real life usage the phones will only differ in what? milliseconds? I'm outta here!
Good day or should i say night all
AT preview:

I'm really happy with the H1X, I had the Galaxy S2 but the S3 hasn't leaped ahead of the pack too much, seems S3 Exynos may be better than Tegra, but not about the GPUs.
Great HTC win

Winter? They said summer, and most likely it'll be before the Olympics.
Hello, I wanted to share some news here and discuss about it. We probably know already HTC is busy recently with VR and the 5G hub..
HTC will release some phones again finally this summer.. probably in July. There will be a midrange phone and a flagship phone who will be the successor probably of our U12+. The midrange will be probably a snapdragon 660 and the flagship will be probably a snapdragon 865 ( the most powerful this year with 5 G ). We don't know a lot of information of the hardware about those yet.
Here some links which are more detailed: Here for the midrange and here for the flagship
What do you think of this guys? For me i find this great that HTC will making phone again this year, particularly a flagship. I like a lot of things from HTC , like the quality,the design.. the Sense UI.. I am still rocking with my U12 +, we are still on android 9 however. The phone deserves a new update for sure, HTC is still making small updates on some devices this year.. maybe we can still hoped for a new update from htc on it later. I still hoping for a bit, will see. Maybe is will be different with the new phone.. there was a time htc give us update faster than others.
Will i buy it? Maybe, probably, I am waiting to have more information. I hate apple at the highest points .. I have not really interested with samsung. My second choice will be google phone ( pixel) but is not perfect for me ( design still suck, not as much functionality as HTC..)
You guys are you going to buy it ? According to the poll from androidauthority from my second link, many people is interessed to buy it.
I have made a poll for it
Hi, HTC will announce two phones the 16 june! The mid range and the flagship i guess.
Taking directly from the facebook page.

I prefer the u12+, or even my old m9, design though. This seems like any other chinese smartphone. Let's see what it can do

So yes is the Desire pro 20 and the U20 5G the two new phones is mid range phone, maybe later a u20+ will see the day..
The question of the day is.. it worth changing the U11 or U12 for the U20? what do you think of that?
What i know it has no edge sense on it.. but also no htc sense ? This is sad.. i really love htc sense.. htc sense on pie is great.
What's your opinion about this ?

Imo change the u11 or the u12 for the u20 is a downgrade... It will always be a 2 or 3 years newer phone but I have the u12+ and I'm more than satisfied with it. The only thing these two phones have that I miss is the wide angle and the 5000mah battery. But I can live without them.
If I were searching for a new phone I would go with oneplus or pixel. Even with the rumors of the pixel 5 with the 765g, I don't think that makes a phone less of a flagship, I don't play much games and if the phone is always fast and fluid I'm ok with it!
I think this two phones will be competing with mid range xiaomis, samsungs and so on, and not for the htc fans.
Let's see how the price goes. If they can deliver a good 5g phone with a competitive price maybe they can squeeze some money to make a squeezable u20+ xD
@dioggo92
I still love my u12+ too.. Is a great phone no problem with the buttons, but sadly he will continue to become old like everything else.
Yes is true the wide angle , the big battery is nice, probably other things but I am not sure..
I have looking the phone market and pretty nothing interests me I was hoping a flagship from HTC with HTC sense and some HTC extras. I will continue to see the evolution for the HTC phone.
I have see that the pixel 5 will be a 765G. May ask you why you do not want to change to u20 but if you want a new phone you will probably taking the pixel 5? Since is the same processor you do not consider it a another downgrade like you said? I am agree with you, you should not have lags with this processor , is look a great processor.

True, I'm only thinking about changing phone next year or so, so for me it's not a deal breaker. By that time I'll see whats going on in the market. I bought this u12+ last year only because I don't buy phones from the same year. They are ridiculously expansive and will drop half the price(or less) 1 year after.
Yep, I get that. That htc sense and extra features are what I like in htc too, plus the build quality of hardware and software. Although the U12+ is not the best example in software unfortunately.
Hang to the u12+ for another year if it lasts that for you.

Android pie with htc sense on the u12+ is really great! android 10 is missing for now however.. I have read a email from htc here and is said this:: I completely understand you want to know when the Android 10 update for the U12+ will be available but due to the developing process, we cannot give you an estimated time for this update to be released. Still somes hopes for getting it.
I have read somes rumours that htc will announce a second 5g phone and should by the flagship the next months of later. I hope is will gettings some htc extras..
Maybe they are making some substantial software upgrades. The HTC sense is basically the same since htc one m7 with some new features and tweaks. Maybe u12+ will get a surprise, that would be awesome because they said they wont release new phones but would be keeping the u12+ updated but forgot pretty much about that.
Yes a surprise later will be awesome.
