From one of our many resources hidden deep within the “bush” we bring to you a spreadsheet with some handy info on it… All the specs, names and chipsets of the upcoming HTC releases.
I am very curious about the Star and SuperStar… And I am VERY intrigued by the NVIDIA AP16 chipset.

well i hope it comes with a keyboard hope just hope. most likely wont. what are your thoughts on this??? I was ready for a touch pro 2 now im not that sure any more.

Saw the same article over at PocketNow. Looks like we're finally getting some nVidia devices. Looks like I'm skipping most of the new phones this year to get that device.

do wish they at least get a leaked pic i wanna see it first 2 see if i should pass the pro 2 or not

Wow, that superstar w/ nVidia is very interesting news!

Wow!!
Interesting news!
Hope soon we can have a look to Superstar and Star
Thanks for sharing,

rip off. way to many phones with similar functions and programs. not forgetting similar issues which has to be solved by xda. but still i love it

That Star looks like the previously leaked Firestone.
Presumably the Star and SuperStar are related - I hope that the SuperStar isn't basically a Star with a keyboard...
Anyway, that's my phone shopping on hold until we find out more about the SuperStar.

The Thoth is 1ghz. The article/leak is from MobilityDigest which is affiliated with fuzemobility.com and tiltmobility.com - it was picked up by a bunch of other sites

aw man, the Nvidia device BETTER have FULL drivers for ALL of the S.O.C. or there'll be hell to pay
to make up for HTC's bull**** over the driver issue, they can make it an Android device to please me.
then i'll forget the whole HTC and Qualcomm in bed whoring incident.

when nvidia Goforce 5500 came build in to o2 xda flame/toshiba G900, everyone is so excited until everyone knows there isnt any supporting doc for developers for nvidia's chip, no one can use it except for nvidia
so what is so excited when they have another chipset but not open for developers?
even until now ppl in flame/toshiba forum are still trying to get this chipset work for some simple video playback on tcpmp

whilst there have been various devices with dedicated (extra) graphics chips like the goforce550 and gofroce6100, this nvidia chip is a SINGLE S.O.C. designed entirely by them based on an ARM CPU design.
there is a MUCH higher chance that nVidia provide documentation for their own SOC than compared to a secondary chip that goes into a device with a CPU they didn't design.
i'm hopeful anyway. if it's not going to be Snapgragon that provides the performance and features we want, it will be Nvidia, or samsung, or marvel......
someone will make what we enthusiasts want. and we will buy it

thinking positive is good
but they should still release doc on the secondary chip first as reputation for them is bad
base on brand is good & end consumers always think its better, but not for developers who have bad experiences when email to nvidia, they dont even bother to reply

whilst i do agree with that business practice, it seems most mobile makers are well aware of the fact that most people are dumb sheep and have short memories.
the people will by whatever the current media tells them to. look at iphone sales, in America Apple have an easier time to sell it to Americans because they are less knowledgeable about such things.
in Europe and Asia it isn't selling so well because the people there know more and don't fall for such hype. in Asia you can buy un unlocked iphone for 1/2 the price of a subsidized USA iphone.
enthusiasts like us are a very small minority so we will always get the best available for our needs. unfortunately i've been unable to find my needs, but that will change by the end of the year

So how about MSM 7200A? for GF5500 at least tcpmp has full hardware acceleration for MPEG SP/ AVC Baseline, but AFAIK there's ONLY overlay support for MSM 7200A right now.

with the devices that have the older goforce dedicated graphics silicone, the hardware is used for almost nothing. on the O2 Flame the camera uses it for photos(at least the viewfinder, probably not even for JPEG acceleration), but not video codec acceleration at all.
TCMP may use the goforce, thoughi never heard of it using the chip, just the MSM72xx's built-in graphics chip.
for all the goforce devices, the devices never used it. not even for more than a few games. the desktop/today screen, all of the 2D things you do with the devices like displaying menus,browser screens, scrolling.......never accelerated. ther CPU does all the work, taking more time (worse performance), and more battery (worse battery time)
a total waste of battery and chip.
this is why i believe there is a better chance of Nvidia's SOC having the full drivers to use the graphics part because it's an entirely owned SOC from one company, not an additional chip where they're not responsible for making sure the device performs.
Nvidia will have the the whole SOC to be accountable for and that means they are in a position where they are more expected to perform.
have a look at the videos where Nvidia shows off the Tegra series chip and think that they're showing a reference platform with one of their own designed interfaces for developers to use the code.
this is much more involved compared to Qualcomm and other chip makers that don't usually do anything except make the chips and provide a single reference driver. Nvidia is being very involved in the chip AND the software development.
their desktop graphics chips have very good software support for developers. think "the way it's meant to be played" campaign, CUDA,etc
Nvidia make chips, and make software to use them.

I have the same concerns.

so is this the chipset we should be excited about? i now see people complaining about this nvidia chipset because the cpu is weaker compared to other upcoming phones. is that even true? i've yet to see a single video of any other chipset thats half as impressive as nvidia's.

it's possible (i'm thinking ~70%) that this is the chip as i believe it has the best chance of having full driver support from Nvidia.
even though by the time it comes out (later this year) it'll be almost a year late from it's announcement, it'll still be a contender.
the ARM11 CPU core will only have to do the normal CPU functions like in a desktop CPU, because the TEGRA has dedicated silicone for all the rest of the accelerated goodness that IS in Qualcomm MSM72xx chips, but sadly not used.
there are next gen chips from Qualcomm (snapdragon), TI (OMAP 3 & 4), Samsung,Marvel......
they all have good chips coming out, but it looks like Nvidia could have one of the best for a good few months.
the only other contender in the near future (for the rest of this year) is Snapdragon. that is a beast built on ARM's Cortex unit (like some of TI's & other chips coming later), and looks to be the only other chip to consider this year.
being Qualcomm, i'm not entirely hopeful they will change their behavior regarding driver support. their business model stinks and Nvidia have the upper hand with regard to providing hardware AND software support.
so for me, for this year, i like Snapdragon's hardware, but i love the idea of the Nvidia chip. it's the mos promising better balance.
let's hope it gets enough design wins and a few decent devices come out to show what Nvidia can do in this new market for them.
Nvidia showed what could be done with TEGRA running a netbook compared to Intel's Atom, it shamed it in the power efficiency stakes! if Nvidia can get some design wins, they may pull of their $99 netbook promise.

thanks p3ngwin, thats basically how i was feeling about tegra. i knew snapdragon was probably going to be the competition, but from what i was reading on other forums there was a lot of debate about which one was going to be better.
but from what i've seen from snapdragon compared to tegra, i don't know why anyone should be impressed with snapdragon.

snapdragon is a very powerful SOC, there are even netbooks being made with it just like TEGRA.
it's just that having the chip is not enough, the software needs to take advantage of all that power and that's where the idea of Qualcomm's snapdragon instantly gives me a sour state in my mouth.
Nvidia are new to this SOC biz, and i'm willing to forgive them for the crap devices other manufacturers made with the goforce series. Nvidia can make the chips and provide software, but they aren't in a position to demand it's optimal use as much as say MS can with a whole OS.
qualcomm and HTC had a deal on a ****-load of volume MSM72xx chips and HTC made truck loads of devices based on them. Qualcomm had a lousy business ethic regarding cost of chips and supporting software, and HTC were ok with that.
here's hoping Nvida have a better way of doing business.

That is correct mate

It's very interesting info and discussion about on Murtazin's blog, seems we will see WM7 leaked ROM's very soon

Yeah, Beasty told me also
Hope soon we can have it ported to our beloved Uni´s!

Porting seems to be somewhat problematic, seeing minimum requirements for WM7 is 1Ghz processor. Whether it means we'll have to be happy with 'the look' of WM7, as in themes that resemble the OS, or scaled down version of OS remains to be seen.

"Tomal... when are you going to be doing the service for upgrading our Uni's to 1GHz?"

1Ghz it's not the minimum to run WM7, custom roms will be running on some oldest devices too

Is that a USB key in your pocket or a dual-core computer? Today, Norwegian company FXI technologies showed off a USB stick-sized portable computer prototype, complete with a dual-core 1.2-GHz Samsung Exynos ARM CPU (same as in the Galaxy S II), 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI-out and a microSD card slot for memory. Codenamed Cotton Candy because its 21 gram weight is the same as a bag of the confection, the tiny PC enables what its inventor calls “Any Screen Computing,” the ability to turn any TV, laptop, phone, tablet, or set-top box into a dumb terminal for its Android operating system.

The Cotton Candy also runs arm compatible versions of Linux, and is said to be compatible with Windows 8 ARM.
Thoughts? I think this would be great for low end computer replacement, or a small gaming system for emulators along side a bluetooth controller and a 32gb memory card. Even a small media center hub for your TV, download Netflix, Hulu, video apps, or whatever streaming and media apps you want and boom, HTPC right there.

Apparently it's a portable Exynos soc, so it won't be that hard to port ICS to that little bad boy when Samsung pushes the update for the GS2.

I'm thinking win8 with arm support to be a real PC

And who says there is no need for a quad core mobile cpu. Although the chip they are using is nice, and tegra 3 or quad core Samsung soc would be awesome on this device.

From my naive point of view, this seems very exciting. Finally, some competition to ARM, and able to get 2ghz, none the less! I know very little about how Atom compares, though; hopefully the experts will get a good look at it.

Pretty good specs, though I doubt I'll buy it. Next thing I'm buying is GS4 or Note 2.

I'll either get this or the Razr HD Maxx. Now it just depends on the level of developer support.

I am amazed with the spec. 2GHz.... Netbooks are barely 2Ghz. It's not about how many cores, but the rate at which it processes data, which perhaps might be better than any Quad-core phone out there. This might be my next phone [if it comes to my carrier].

Thats what I'm wondering, but if it has a locked bootloader it may be hard to do. If someone could port a GRUB style bootloader it may be possible. But I don't know how Windows would react to a non IBM-PC style system which lacks a traditional BIOS. It would probably be easier to get x86 Ubuntu running first since Android is Linux based.

Here are the most in-depth reviews that I've found so far:
Techradar
Expertreviews
Cnet
It's looking like quite a solid mid-range priced phone.
A few critical thoughts so far:
I'd like to be able to customise the lockscreen apps, at the moment these are fixed to: Camera, Messages and Call.
I'd like to be able to access quick settings from the Notification bar so I don't need to close an app to get to these.
I'd like to be able to auto focus the camera by half pressing the dedicated camera button.
Needs the latest Android version ASAP.
4G LTE would be nice but I can understand that's asking a bit much at this stage.

This would be amazing if true but exceedingly unlikely: perhaps an Atom X5 doesn't generate too much heat when crammed into a phablet-sized device? I'd pay upwards of $400 for a developer-friendly phablet with Intel HD (Broadwell/Gen8, not PowerVR) graphics. I've been waiting for a Linux-friendly Intel powered phone since before Bay Trail, and I may still be waiting a year from now unless my above fantasy pans out.

I've got Elephone P7000, it is good phone, I am really looking forward to Elephone Vowney phone.

What is the weight of Elephone Vowney
Hello,
I got confused about the weight of this phone, on website says it is 650 grams, then it will be very heavy to carry. So kindly somebody can explain some details about the exact weight of this otherwise excellent mobile.
Is the chip ' 64-bit MTK6795 CPU Octa Core' processor is faster than or equelent to Snapdragon 810?
Thanking You

I dont think windows rom support is correct. its not memtioned in the highlites
Am wondering about the cm12.1 support. Does this mean the sources will be out?
would be cool if the device tree is reusable to build a pletora of custom roms. Then this can have a device forum right?
would be awesome.

dunno about its power efficiency though. may perform better but suck more juice.
for me the lte support would be important as well as custom roms capability

I saw the weight on website but I saw specs on other sites and it shows 169g. I don't think it could be 650g which more than half kg :laugh:

Assalamu Alaikum(Peace from to all), my friend from Pakistan,
I am not differentiating the members of this forum according to their nationality, but for an Indian it is special when a reply comes from his Pakistani brother, that is all
Thank you very much for the reply,
When I read about the weight of the phone in one website, I had a bigger smiley of course on my face, and I thought it may be wrong also, as nobody can carry such a phone with them.I want to confirm it before ordering , otherwise the spec as so impressive, so I am waiting for its release. So your reply is a great assistance to me.
Thanks

How good is Elephone at putting out updates? Any feeling on how long it will take Elephone to upgrade its phones to Android M?

Sir I told you about the weight. It was mention 650g maybe because of auto correct or spell mistake. I confirmed the weight which is 169g. You can order the phone which is going to release on 20th june.
stay happy

the updates are frequent and quicker because they don't have millions of customer like samsung. If they give M upgrade then you will get before Samsung S6 pretty sure.

1 - 2 months to update a firmware, I don't know whether Elephone will release Android M firmware.

I just noticed on elephone.cc that it's now saying the 20th of August for the release date. I suppose that makes sense, at least for the Vowney Pro/version B (the one that dual boots Windows 10 and Android) since Windows 10 isn't supposed to be out until the end of July anyhow. I really hope the Pro has an Atom X5 and US LTE band support, because Elephone is the only OEM so far that has gotten me this close to being excited about my dream x86 developer phone finally being made!

Well, most preliminary information I've seen indicate that this phone will have an Atom Z3580 SoC, which contains a PowerVR GPU. Since I'm unlikely to ever get a phone, even a phablet, with tablet-class graphics, let alone one that has open source driver support for running Linux, I just gave up on getting this one and ordered myself a 64GB/4GB RAM ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE551ML, which should be arriving tomorrow. It may even be cheaper than importing a Vowney Pro at this point. I of course would love to be wrong.

Elephone Vowney is Elephone flagship phone?

They have a dedicated page for it now: http://www.elephone.cc/elephone-vowney.html
I wish it wasnt soo big! I want a 5.2" device....come one people!

they give a discount to the people who bought one of the first 5000 elephone p8000 without led.
Did we know anything about, did we know when it will be out?

Doesnt look like this will work with ATT due to bands right?

How is Windows going to run on that SoC?
