The Sprint HTC EVO 4G in CDMA/WiMax flavor may be getting re-tooled for GSM networks and carriers as a device that has been rumored as the HTC Ace. The Ace will sport the same 4.3-inch touchscreen as the EVO 4G and will also be an Android handset. Because the device is speculated to carry Android 3.0, otherwise known as Gingerbread, it's unclear whether HTC will also bundle HTC Sense UI on the Ace. The Ace, being a more modern hardware build than the EVO 4G, will be pushing the envelop with HD recording, which is slated for 1080p instead of the EVO 4G's 720p HD video captures.
Here are the complete rumored specs for the Ace, according to Android Spin:
•Android 3.0
•4.3 in. display (This display will be a HTC’s own rival to the Super AMOLED display)
•1.5 GHz processor
•8 MP camera and 1.3 MP front facing camera
•Much better battery
•1080p HD recording
Also, speaking of the HTC EVO 4G, the device will be getting a successor as well, code named as the HTC Sabor.
It looks like with the high buzz surrounding large-screened devices such as the EVO 4G, the Droid X, and the Galaxy S, manufacturers are inching away from the 3.5-inch or so form factor to the 4-inch and more category with smartphones, offering a nice compromise between a smartphone and a tablet for a good mixture of talk and surf.

Sweet find, thanks orb!! I can't get to the source link here at work, but just the parts you included above have my mouth watering!!
EDIT: so the ironic thing is, that if I got that phone, I'd be hoping for someone to get WM 6.5+ running on it
i wish it actually comes out! sucks being on ATT lol
engadget are reporting that the Ace is now called the Desire HD and the specs are slightly more dissapointing than whats reported here. It has the regular 1 Ghz Snapdragon which is lame (bad GPU). But they're also saying it has an aluminium unibody like the Legend.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/rumored-htc-desire-hd-specs-surface-4-3-inch-screen-8-megapixe/
As nice as it sounds, I am worried that the aluminium unibody might push the price up to the iPhone 4 territory.
why??????!!!!!! why??????!!!!!! oh why??????!!!!!! Can't i get a phone like this but WITH A HARDWARE KEYBOARD!?
I'm prepared to pay A LOT off contract for one and I know i'm not the only one..
I feel the same frustration mate, hope we can find something at the end of 2010...
i wish it actually comes out! sucks being on ATT lol
I don't know which to get I am tore in between both o the phones. Spec wise the galaxy s 2 wins but HTC sense is far better than touchwiz the only thing would suit me will be sense on the galclaxy s 2 but I have heard that it mite hard to port :-\

I dont think TW 4.0 is bad. Its far far more better than crappy 3.0

Spec wise the Galaxy S2 lose.
The new snapdragon looks like more powerfull than tegra 2 / exynos, they give you a screen with more resolution and not using pentile, real rgb not 50% more of amoled plus that is less than real stripe.
a little less ram, but who uses 1gb of ram in a phone?
The only things for what I am going to buy the Galaxy S2, is because in 10 years, HTC has not make a decent camera on a phone and a decent audio quality in par with the iphone or the first galaxy, and this are for me totally killer features. Oh, and the internal phone storage.
In the battle HTC sense vs touchwiz, who cares, at the end most of the people turn off that programs and ends using adw or launcher pro.
It's a tough one. Up until HTC Sensation was announced, I was settled on SGS II. But now I'm in a dilemma.
However, SGS II has a better screen - lower resolution, but using SAMOLED+ instead of SLCD (and the difference is notable). SGS II also has a better front camera, more internal memory (a LOT more, 16 GB vs 1 GB), larger battery capacity, and it's thinner.
HTC on the other hand has a better camera, higher screen resolution, dual-led flash, and it's also on T-Mobile. It also comes with a 8 GB microSD card.

You nailed it for me. While I'm not really familiar with processors, the EVO 4G has a terrible camera and sound quality. Now I'm considering waiting for a sprint galaxy s2 instead of upgrading to the EVO 3D. I know that both phones will be good, but having the better quality photos and video will make me happy.

Apart from the higher resolution offered on Sensation, i can't see how SGSII loses in terms of spec. Initial benchmarks show Exynos perform much better than the new Snapdragon (which is based on the older A8 cortex) but i guess we juz have to wait till May when comparison can be done on retail units instead of those prototypes.
Can't agree more about the camera on HTC phones though. and thats why i'm getting rid of my Desire soon=)
I would have liked to get the Sensation, but I am in an AT&T contract.
Even if I decided to kill the contract and move to T-Mobile, I would be kinda screwed when AT&T acquires TMobile and then the Sensation will not be able to use 3G on AT&T since it does not support the bands.
So between the two I am pretty much forced to get the GS2, or wait and hope the a Sensation build will eventually support AT&T bands, which I will not do...
GS2 looks good enough, but TouchWiz looks awful
edit: ok maybe TW isn't so bad

I'm not so sure about that part. HTC has never been known to release phones with great cameras. Average at best, but not great. E.g desire hd, Mozart, HD2, desire, HD7. They're all average in their leagues.
Samsung on the other hand does release phones with great camera quality. E.g. Wave, Omnia HD, Pixon 12.
However since they haven't released the phone or shown any sample pictures, guess it's too early to judge.

Thought it was a joke when he said HTC has a better camera..
You are probably right about being early to judge Sensation but we're almost certain SGSII is coming with an awesome camera which is confirmed in most previews.
HTC the better camera? Perhaps a #sarcasm tag was needed before that.
In terms of whether the CPU/GPU is better, remains to be seen, there are benchmarks which show each one outperforming the other. Furthermore remains to be seen whether there is any difference in use, even if one is better than the other by a reasonable margin.
For me, I don't like the crappy cameras of HTC and their habbit of crippling great phones with underppwered batteries...I love my HD2 but I cannot forgive HTC for putting a 1230 mAh battery which barely manages to last through a working day!

As good as Sense looks it will be very difficult to port Sense over I guess! Certian aspects of sense are great such as the dialler, peoples app and the keyboard is nice as well.

Hello evrybdy i am from India and i am wntng 2 buy an android fone...bt i am confused between the HTC Desire S and the Samsung Galaxy S (Super AMOLED) ...cn u all plss help me...and duz d Desire S really have a Death Grip?
it's no death grip it's just htc's reason to buy a new phone
Never had the death grip problem... but saw it on a youtube video... i think i twas fixed or something
yeah probably fixed, although i still have issues with mine, so i really dont know what video you guys were looking at
well i got the issues too and i'm on htc's latest rom
anyway i hardly think its a hardware fault and a bit software, so i don't think they are able to fix it
software fix helped me to reduce the death grip to 1bar wireless signal but not to kill the death grip fully
The Desire S is so much better than the Galaxy S. The ONLY thing the Galaxy S has going for it is its GPU (which isnt that much better) and Super AMOLED, but there is a significant decrease in screen sharpness because of the PenTile arrangement, so Super AMOLED is actually a hindrance.
Sgs without a shadow of doubt

Hummingbird will mean smoother running gb than the desire.
Absolutely beautiful display works great in direct sunlight.

oh well
i guess i may get sgs as it's seems superior !
i wont use custom roms, yet, so not worried abt bricking anwway ! but i will install lagfix + root..
easily done from the market?
i think he talks about ram (512mb vs. 768mb)
Okay, i could choose which one to buy and i bought desire s.. why?
-Htc sense looks a lot better then touch wiz....
-3.7 inch screen..(yeah.. i dont think bigger = better)
-i really like the design... and its made of one piece of alluminium and that.. really safe phone.
-Had HTC in the past.. and never had problems with them.. they rock
-Flash camera... yeah.. makes a big difference
Both of them are great phones... but they are still phones.. choose with one you would like from the design.. and not from what inside... they are pretty much the same inside. And about the super amoled...you cant say its a pro, its different.

personally - its specsover looks! i dont want a nice phone but crap specs! i rather have a better one!
personally i prefer bigger screens! (mos my drvices are all large screen)
thats one major favor of the sgs for me! (large super amoled + screen)
you cant deny amoled kills slcd! sure it'll burn out on day, but amoled kills slcd!
i like desire s becayse its great out the box! nice ui, no lag fixes needed etc!
but it has a small community..
the sgs is old now though
decisions, decisions!
So I've narrowed my choices down to the Sensation 4G, SGS2, And G2X.
I was a EVO 4G, and EVO 3D owner from sprint, thats why the Sensation is up their. As a tech guy, not having a phone is killing me on the inside. I REALLY like the SGS2 with its huge and vibrant screen. But the G2x is MUCH cheaper (I'm a student and I have really no credit, I have to pay $200 deposit w/ any contract) and the G2x specs don't look too bad, no 4G though ): I tested the 4G in my area at the local store and got ~22mb/s at the store on the demo phone... Could probably get even better... I can wait until next week for the extra $$$ to get the SGS2 (I do have enough for it now, but not for everything else and diving into my savings is a big no-no for me). Whats the cyanogen community like for these 2 phones? I WILL be putting it on either phone... I know CES is in a few days, but its not like a Tegra 3 phone will be coming out anytime soon. The Tmobile SGS2 has the snapdragon S3 CPU/GPU, the G2x is Tegra 2 while the Sensation is the S2? If anybody has owned any of these phones and can tell me about using them, that would be great. I need the pro's and cons and cons and the hidden problems.
I have the G2x which i absolutely love!! No Problems whatsoever, lots of development too. However if I had a choice i would probably get the SGS2. Just because It looks Awesome! i see/feel no big difference in perfomance personally when i played with it in the store, but that again was only in the store. As im sure youve read, there are a few G2x's out there that have there issues, screen bleed (minor) Reboots (sucks), etc. I was blessed to have one with zero issues, ive heard that the update that now rolls out stock out of the box has fixed the issues. either way, the G2x is rock solid for me ive owned it since June, and have put everything from CM7, EB, Weapon and everything in between, I really love how Weapon G2x is and use it as my daily.
I would say Sensation. Build quality, more development, and QHD screen
It has the same CPU as the SGS2 BTW (S3) It has better support for Cyanogenmod also
If the tmo SGS2 had a Exynos cpu, I would have chosen it.
Don't listen to the bias fanboy...get the SGSII. Read the official review on androidcentral...they notice no difference between the international SGSII and the T-mobile version. Oh wait..they did notice the bigger more beatiful screen!

Unless you see something I do not, just looked at the sensation forum at cyanogenmod forum, and there isn't even an Alpha for cm7 officially out for it...
Although the T989 isn't even officially supported at all either....
I got sensation cause of quality. Too plastic with samsung for me but both are great phones. Go to a store and try them out. If you only wanna go for hardware go for sgs2.
I just switched from a HTC Nexus running CM7 nightlies, to a T-Mobile SGS2 on Friday. Disappointed in the ROMs that are out there now and general lack of development - I'd done some half ass'd research before picking it up, I was looking at it and the Amaze 4g, and thought it had some better support.
That being said, rooted, put Clockwork and flashed Juggernaught on it Friday night, it has been working flawlessly. I would highly recommend it.

800x480 on a 4.5" screen is good for you?
to me a true SGS2 is the international version.
what the hell were executives at Tmous thinking?
atleast with the Senny you get a higher resolution screen and good build quality.
for crying out loud...
I was very close to getting a Sensation...until I found out half the phones have dust issues due to a manufacturing defect.
Knowing that, I just had to go with an AMOLED screen (no dust issues). I didn't feel like spending $500 on a SSG2, so I just bought a Vibrant for $180 on eBay. I get to play with ICS and the phone's not too bad.
I also don't think I can go back to an LCD phone ever again. lol

There is not a big difference in resolution from qhd to 800x480. I don't know why people act like your using vga resolution stretched out on a 60 inch screen. Also the htc has had ridiculous hardware failures. Like dust underneath the screen and two different manufacturers for screens. The power button has also been know to sink in. Just because it's made out of metal doesn't mean it's a better phone.
If you want more development go with the sensation if you want a big phone with less development go with Samsung galaxy s2.

noticeable when reading ebooks or text in general.
also, edges are crisper on pics in general, less pixelation too.
I notice these things and it would drive me nuts. (one of the reasons why I opted for the Senny instead of the SGS2)
perhaps some people can't... way the human eye perceive things differ slightly I guess from person to person.
anyway, I've had zero issues with my phone. no dust under the screen, no issues with my power or volume button.
amount of defects are actually far less then it really is I would bet.
it's just people that have problems are vocal whereas people do not aren't.
from what I read, HTC has fixed all the issues. just the initial run had some I guess.
mine is from the first run. pre-ordered and received the day of release.

Uhh, yes there is. Completely different processor. You have a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon instead of the Exynos in the Sprint, AT&T, and International version. While it's no slouch, it doesn't even come close to the Exynos in terms of GPU capabilities. If you're gonna get the GSII, get a REAL GSII. No disrespect, it's a great phone and I'm sure has a great community, but again, completely different internals. It doesn't have the Mali 400 GPU.

He said they didn't notice any difference, he didn't say that there wasn't a difference. The 1.5 gHz Qualcomm vs. the 1.2 gHz Exynos was pretty close/the same in day to day usage, doesn't mean it will in benchmark tests.

in what way may I ask?
I've noticed a few things pop up in various threads about the current\future specs of the One S, after looking on the HTC site another 'change' has caught my eye, not sure if it's correct though.
The one we all seem to know is that it looks like HTC is also going to release the One S with an overclocked (1.7) S3 CPU.
What I've also noticed is that the screen is now also listed as a 720P HD Amoled screen, no mention of Super Amoled (what I have)
Possibly looks like the S3 version will be shipping with the 720P Amoled Screen, be interesting to find out for sure!
Link please!
Higher res screen and older overclocked chip doesnt sound like a good combination but I guess they're trying to make up for the shortage of s4 chips

With this display and processor combo, I can imagine battery life being absolutely terrible. Kind of a bad deal.
Whoever is in charge of HTC's worldwide site needs to be fired. That info (about the 720p screen) is almost certainly incorrect - note that the text right next to it says 960x540 resolution. Also, if they were changing it we would have heard about it by now (like we did with the S3 version, under the "Ville C2" codename - we even got custom Sensation ROMs based on it).
That said, I think a 720p One S would be awesome - think of the pixel density! As long as I could get it with the S4 though...
