HTC Leo Specs Leaked!?!?

From HTCPedia:
http://htcpedia.com/news/rumor-alert-new-image-of-htc-leo-slider-phone.html
We have a new image that may show that the HTC Leo could turn out to be a slider phone instead of the popular rumor floating around about the return of the clamshell design.

This rumor comes hot off the presses, direct from a PM sent to me through our forum, from HTCPedia member Football. Though the member hasn't posted anything on our forum, they have sent over some specs on the HTC Leo that match what we've heard through the rumor mill.
The photo, however; is in stark contrast to the images we've seen showing the Leo as a clamshell phone. Since we have no other information matching this claim, we can't prove this true or false, so you'll have to be the judge on this one. Below is the message I received from our member:
Hello,

I hope those are really the specs because if so its gonna be one hell of a phone.

Please please give us a CDMA version on Sprint!

It sounds awesome if the specs are correct...hopefully we don't have to wait until 2010 or 2011

Even if true, it will be Q4 2010 until its out on at&t in the US.

Just add a hardware keyboard and it´s the ultimate upgrade!
If necessary I can wait till 1st Q 2010 to grab one, even without American continent 3G

Add the Touch Pro 2 keyboard pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!
I have a strong feeling it will not have any keyboard though and I would still get it. On my HTC Advantage, SPB 4.1 soft keyboard fills the screen and has me hardly carrying my hardware keyboard.

it rumored to be some kinda slider which is possible if u look at the dimensions. wish we can more renderings of it or possibly a pic

Display 4,3" 480*800 capacitance touch-screen

Capacitve touch? will be the new wimo 7 the OS of leo?

Is this the same thing as the HTC Firestone? That phone that is just a candybar style with touchscreen?

in theory WM6.5 has support for capacitive screens. if the actual benefits of capacitive screens are used (multi touch) remain to be seen.
but that is one dam sexy device. basically a HTC version of the TG01 though.

A Slider Phone?? Please no, I hate slider phones (that includes hardware keyboard). Such things aren't necessary nowadays, especially with that 4.3" Screen, putting a good/spacious touch-screen keyboard should be no problem.

I also verily agree with this.

Guys,
Anything bigger than a 3.8" screen and I'm not getting it. This is ridiculous, how big do they want cellphones to be?
Why are we going BACKWARDS with technology? I feel like it's back to the old days of those prehistoric club-phones with a red led screen. It's also already apparent that when resistive screens get too big (TouchHD), the digitizer does not work at equal capacity across the screen.
Cheers.

yea 4.3 is kinda big and its said to have winmo 7 so it wont b out 4 a while but that screen would be great 4 a lot of business things since htcs phone usually are aimed at the ppl in suits

what way does it slide? what kind of keyboard does it have?

from what i googled its a typical slider (not if its left or right).67 thick so its quite big but really powerful. i would imagine its a full qwerty (5 rows at least) and pretty spacious

Hmm... Maybe there will be no more gap (or a very small one) between the screen and edges of the device. Then this monster screen could easily fit into the HD as well

The Phone in My Dream! Which phone is this?

Hello folks,
Here is the phone that I want:
- super-resistant high quality body like HTC devices
- super-amoled 4.0" screen like Samsung devices. Not 3.8" or 4.3"
- super-quality camera like iPhone 4 (not much important)
and it must be an Android device of course ^^
Is there a phone matches with these?

Galaxy S matches.

I think it is the closest one, BUT;
Galaxy S's body is not really qualified like HTC devices.
It also does not have a camera-flash! A really important missing feature.
The other thing that I hate with Galaxy S is that, its look is too much iphoneish.
Look at that :

real men use 4.3"

LOL I hope anyone is not looking in to Samsung device I mean looking at the history of how they have tendency of dropping user base by not providing any type of support, who would pick them? Have you checked their latest fiasco of Vibrant vs Vibrant 4G? LOL so much for that epic new device...
BTW souljaboy I had HD2 months before it came out in USA so I know the whole 4.3" thing but ATM the hardware I want is only in MT4G as its the flagship of HTC and second is DHD which has 4.3" display but lacks 4G much less 3G support in USA but still gets owned by MT4G natively.

I've been using HD2 for 6 months and I'm a bit bored with 4.3" screen.
4.0" is enough and it's gorgeous with super-amoled.
I was also not happy with HD2's CPU. I need a new generation Snapdragon or a Hummingbird CPU.
So I bought Nexus S a few days ago, but its screen is scratched easily because lack of gorilla glass :/
Anyway, it's better to wait for Galaxy S2! Samsung will announce it on February 13.

It's not 4" and super-amoled, also its processor is just .. worthless.
Desire and Nexus One are even better than motorola defy.

I agree, wait for the next round. If nothing tickles your fancy, at least there will be a price drop in older models.

Tegra chipsets are just around the corner.. 2Ghz anyone?

Samsung Intros 5-Inch (!) Galaxy Note Smartphone, 7.7-Inch Galaxy Tab

God it`s even bigger, I have seen the threads on a 4.5" but none on this 5"
Delete thread if old news.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2392251,00.asp

I'm actually quite tempted.
I'm one of those oddballs who doesn't mind large devices, and that being the case its mostly positives from where I'm sitting (obviously will be too large for many to use as their day-to-day phone!).

that 7,7 Tab sure is nice but i just bought a GT10 some weeks ago so i wont be able to afford it
Maybe i can sell my tab and sgs2 and use this lol
Iam wondering how the Phone function will be implemented in the tab

I'm really tempted on the Note but what are its full specs? I already know about the screen but what are the rest?

all i've seen is a couple videos, i believe this is true:
dual 1.4 or 1.5Ghz
5.3 or 5.5 samold (Super HD) screen
stylus (wwoooohooooo !)
8MP rear cam
1.4MP front facing cam
2600Mah battery (wooooohoooooooooo!)
gsm and/or lte
it is a little big for a phone, a little small for a tab... but i think it is going to make some huge waves in the market. possibilities with a size like that are awesome.
things to hope for:
DLNA
hdmi-out
1Gb internal memory
microsd
dual sims
noise cancelling mics
GOOD GPS
awesome antenna
awesome battery life
i'm really looking forward to a long lasting device in STOCK FORM without a huge battery hanging off the back. we'll see if this comes through or not. i will be buying as soon as the early adopters confirm the bugs are minimal and livable. hope !
good job samsung

thanks, now I'm even more tempted now. I can't wait until they release this. Is there an estimated release date yet? I would sell my SGS2 for this.

What I discovered:
5.3 HD Superamoled
1.4 Ghz Exynos
1 Gbyte RAM
LTE and HSDPA
16/32 Gbyte versions
8 Mpixel rear / 2 Mpixel front cam
I am more than tempted. I want one now.

So is it a Super Amoled or Super Amoled plus screen, because I cannot stand pentile sub matrixes?

The 7.7 is Super AMOLED + & the Note is HD Super AMOLED I believe.

The Note has a pentile display.

The note and it's display is extremely nice, but I don't think I could fit a 5.3" phone into my pockets.

fascinating..

I'd LOVE this. Undoubtedly a late US release. Question is when til Espansys etc will have it?

Seems like this is more of a Tablet than a Phone, which kind of defeats the purpose IMHO (if it's actually released like that)
Linux Insider said:
While the Galaxy Note is an unusual size, it packs a strong set of features. As for whether it leans more toward being a phone or a tablet, it seems to favor tablet.
"I'll call it a tablet because it will not be supported for cellular voice," Chris Hazelton, research director for mobile and wireless at the 451 Group, told TechNewsWorld.
"It does support IP communications such as VoIP and Skype," he said. "It has a very good camera, a great processor, and a great screen. But it's hard not to compare it to Dell's (Nasdaq: DELL) 5-inch tablet, which has not gained much traction in the market."

"HTC One i" Design Concept based on HTC One Series

Here's a design concept I put together using AutoCAD 2012. I may have gone a little overboard with the suggested internal memory (I can dream) but it's just a concept after-all.

It may not look it from this angle, but the phone is actually curved slightly, and the camera lense is built slightly inset from the top & bottom edge of the handset, so the lense wouldn't get scratched when you place it down, something for HTC to remember next time maybe!
Here's a 10 second video clip of the model.
Comments welcome
NOTE: Looks a lot better in HD
New version, "HTC One L" is here.

Added HD photos. Credit to Milano for inspiring me to make this
Ideas for another design? something different?

It's pretty nice, but that camera definitely needs to be moved. I don't even want to think about the awkwardness of trying to hold that with one hand and take a picture.

a few things about this:
-the camera is ridiculous. can you imagine laying that thing down on a table?
-why all the third party apps, and stuff in the notification bar? it makes it seem less realistic.
-It should really have onscreen buttons.
-storage/ram isn't unreasonable at all.
-you left on the docking pins? i always thought more devices should have those, not less.
-looks like sense 4.1 to me. normally a jump in numbers means a change in UI.
-good going with the battery % image though, that should be standard on all android devices.
-if you want to make this a real superphone, try adding in a really great 8 MP camera sensor
-what's "full HD" mean? full 720p? TrueHD (1080p)? If its 720p, then you should bump it up to 800 x 1280, so it surpasses "retina" PPI. If its 1080p, than this should really be a 5"+ phone.
Overall though, I like it. looking forwards to seeing more renders form you

The camera wouldnt touch the table if u place it down, the phone is curved slightly to avoid this (it's hard to see in the image) The reason I put it there is simple, thats were I personally would preffer it to go. When I take pictures (landscape) I tend to hold my One X with both hands, and I'm always covering the lense up with my fingers. It's just an idea anyway, I'm re-working this design slightly in the next one, but for now the camera is staying in the middle :cyclops:
The apps... I literally couldn't find a decent quality screenshot of the generic ROM, so that screenshot is off my One X as is.
Onscreen buttons? It has the 3 touch buttons that the One series have.
I'd love to see a phone like this with massive amounts of memory. I have a lot of music (and I mean a lot, like around 3TB worth) so this for me would be a great feature, and I would happily pay more for that extra 32GB So this is kinda like my ideal dream phone really.
I contemplated about the docking pins but just decided not to add them, the next one has them
I used a screenshot from my One X running ARHD 9.x so the UI is actually sense 4.1 (I actually just made up the specs from my head).
Battery % image is from the Battery mod in the One X dev section, a must have.
Full HD just means at-least 1080p resolution. Like I said this is really just an idea, I didn't even consider the technical details until after the render was finished.
The next one is a little "curvier"

Ahh... yeah that would be better I guess. Save some of that valuable screen space. Although I do like how you can see the 3 buttons on the phone when the screen is off, and I know a lot of people use the middle button as a wake-up for the screen, instead of the power button. I may do a more unusual design after my current one

Honestly? no lol. I couldn't think what to name it, but I noticed the back curved kinda like the old iphone, so I thought, what the hell :laugh:

My next one is basically a re-design of this model, so it will look similar, but it has a new name will add it soon.

other than camera placing, i feel everything looks good

Added new version here

Yes the camera position is a screamer. Also... 2gb ram. This thing ought to run like a chicken on heroin. And maybe you should bump 8 to 12 megapixels. 8 seems to be the industry standard nowadays. Instead of the bezel being a constant thinness all around, maybe be a bit longer on the top. I can see that you wanted to make the back look like a real camera so you put the lense central. Great post though - refreshing.

All good, but the camera is in the wrong place. Congrats plasmadan !

I like it, but as almost everyone else stated; the camera placement is awkward.
I love this phone though, good job!

From the way it looks, having the phone curved that way would make it awkward to hold.

pretty nice, but its almost identical to the one x, and the camera is in the middle, not good

Galaxy S4 Active : First Look

The Samsung I9295 Galaxy S4 Active has been in our rumor mill for quite some time. The latest leaked shots reveal that the Active will be a tougher dust and water resistant version of the Galaxy S4 flagship.
The specs are expected to be the same and the live pictures below confirm it - the device is running on a quad-core 1.9GHz processor with Adreno 320 GPU, which most definitely means a Snapdragon 600 chipset. The screen is a 5" 1080p Super AMOLED unit, the same as the one on the original Galaxy S4. There is still no info on the camera, but we expect it to be the same 13MP as on the Galaxy S4.
Despite the similar specs, the Galaxy S4 Active looks nothing like the original. It comes in a metallic shell with bolts on the back, and there are also three hardware buttons below the screen.
There is no official info on the Galaxy S4 Active yet, but as it turns out the handset has been showcased recently in Croatia, so an announcement is imminent.

What's the point of this phone ?
Also, I thought Activ = always meant Windows Phone ?

Looks nice but I like more the clean design of the S4.
This is will probably shut all the people saying cheap plastic about the S4
Also, it looks like it has a 8MP sensor and not 13MP like the S4.
Only dual core seems not very good, but @1.9GHz should be better

wow, looks good !!

Windows Phone phones by Samsung are Ativ, not Active.
The point? To snatch up a part of the market opened by Sony with the Xperia Z. Personally, I'd gladly get one. To be able to use the phone and not worry about it dying in, for instance, rain... priceless

Same reason as having a phone in an otterbox case.... The work samsung have done will keep it waterproof and dust proof without the bulk of a thick case.
Ideal for those like me who work outside a lot and sometimes need to use their phone in the rain etc.

Looks cool and badass.. :good::laugh:
But the One has more class..
Still, i want to trade my S4 with that one -.,-

Man that looks freaking great...I wish I had the patience to wait for it BUT I already have my S4 in the mail and will be keeping her for 2 years
My otterbox and tempered glass will protect her just fine
Im sure release date is still unknown

I really don't like the look of the front buttons, personal thing of course, I just think it makes it look cheap.

Ok, it looks ugly, more specifically the front button part. Reminds me of my old nokia 5800 hardware buttons.

Love it. Want it. Getting it but wish it was smaller.
A 4.2 inch 720 screen is fine for the mountains.

Although a lot of people are saying that the buttons are ugly...one has to consider the fact that this is a waterproof phone
That being said if you are using your phone in the rain, the sensors probably wouldn't recognize your heat signature as such the buttons may be to ensure that a person can use it in wet conditions...just my opinion
