I don't know if I even want another HTC Device. But those specs are nice.

if that thing is locked down the way the one s is, no thanks. either way, huge step forward for htc

i just started a 2 year today and got the amaze 4g for free. !_!
maybe I should cancel?
actually no. Im currently using an HTC Evo 4g LTE which is the same size and the phone is just a tad too large for me.

I call bull**** on 1080p screen. There is no way the screen will be that resolution unless they plan on selling the phone at $750.
Trewyy

"the areas where you got EDGE only are on the 1900 band, so in fact you should still see coverage in those areas, but instead will now be 3G or at least it will once they start transitioning the spectrum over!"
can anyone confirm this to be true? because if it is tha nthat means tmobile's 3g coverage will double in size

Huge step up? Id say marginal at best. Im not huge on the amaze, but please tell me where the amaze lags in terms of speed. If there was 2gb ram it may be worthy of an upgrade but no thanks. I hope they have their wifi issues sorted out by the time its released, lol

Remember no radio code for development on HTC.

"The night is hot and black as ink" ~ The Who.

gotta say i agree with Andy here. not that huge of a step-up. and also on the 1080p screen...is that even necessary on anything smaller than 7"?

Ugh...
I've been COMPLETELY sold on the Sprint GN, but I have a June 1st upgrade, and if this release date is concrete for the One X/Jet/EVO LTE, I might have a decision on my hands
So if the cpu chip isnt compatible with LTE here and thats why Europe is getting I wonder if it will be compatible next year? Hhmmm....either way I'm excited about the display!
Really? A Dual core?
And no, It's not about benchmark swag. Its about it actually being a worthy upgrade. Why am I going to buy a phone thats barely an upgrade? A slightly faster cpu, a slightly faster gpu, and the same amount of RAM? No thanks.
My next phone will have a 1.5ghz quad core, a way faster gpu, and 2gb of ram or its not worth dropping a dime on to me.

And the second someone actually shows me what you can do with a quad core phone that you cant do with a dual core phone then ill be inclined to share your thoughts on quad core..What are the real life comparisons?What is the benefit other than saying "I have a quad core phone"
Its just a phone for god sakes,i just dont understand the fascination with going crazy over quad core in a phone.
Right now i have a gs2. I dont see me giving up this phone anytime soon. I have 2 eligible upgrades ive been savin. But normally if you sell your phone on craigslist then buy another on craigs list you pay less then what the upgrade would cost a new customer. Sold evo for 220...paid 350 for brand new white gs2. Im hopin sprint gets an updated galaxy note
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
still no removable battery or storage so I'll probably still pass.
Paid retail on the EVO 3D to hold me for another year on my contract so won't be buying a new phone till next year with my upgrade and by then there will be something better. But seems like a worthy upgrade.
Although I am a 3D nut in a sense so I would miss that a lot (but that's just me)

That said, I may still wait to upgrade until I see how much support my next phone gets. The new version of sense is the most hideous I've ever seen an HTC phone look...definitely don't wanna be stuck with that.

While there is no mention of storage or battery the article states LTE as being the only difference. Had battery and/or storage been changed it would be a pretty big deal and mentioned. I hope I'm wrong but don't hold your breath that HTC decided to make those changes only for Sprint when LTE is the single necessary alteration for the CDMA LTE roll out.

You guys need to take some time and do some research on what your talking about...
neither of you mentioned the fact that the screen is HUGELY improved, dedicated ImageChip, and besides the whole point both of you are not grasping the fact of how much better the S4 chip's are than the S3's...If this doesn't satisfy an upgrade b/c of the SoC then you'll be left waiting till '13 when Qualcomm pushes their 28nm quads...
fact is the SoC mentioned in this device is a huge upgrade to the current one in the EVO3D...
If this was a Tegra3 would you consider it an upgrade??? If you say yes then you are greatly miss-leaded by the facts of the SoC's themselves b/c there is sooo much more than just the # of cores...28nm vs 40nm, integrated modems vs not, and a bunch more...

Htc evo 4g lte aka htc one x?

I'm sure alot of you guys have heard of it by now sprint is releasing there newest evo but is it really worth leaving your HTC EVO 3D by looking at the specifications of the phone and by comparison not much difference I see.
Lemme know what you guys think?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Nope. I'm personally gonna stick with the Evo until i feel its old enough or i phone is released that i like,
It all comes down to opinion and peoples liking.
I don't like how the LTE phone looks nor do i care if its LTE since i don't even have 4g where i live.
To me pretty much everything that the 3D has is about the same besides two factors is a bigger screen and 4G LTE and well of course sense 4.0 but hey

New processor and everything the phone is going to be nice but it is one of the first of its kind so it can be easily surpassed but the 3d is still a nice device only reason I would be getting the new EVO is because of the beefier specs

3d has a processor more like cortex a8 which isn't good enough and a single channel 1gb memory.
New EVO/one x (U.S version) have dual core a15 processor which is better than quad core cortex a9 (tegra 3) in almost every test . It also has a dual channel memory compared to single one of the 3d and that's just not dual channel , its clocked at higher frequency too .
Edit: Forgot to mention about camera, its a huge improvement over past phone cameras...
I don't care if sprint comes out with an 8-core phone with 7 days of battery life, unless they fix their 3g data speeds in the next two months, I'm switching to Verizon.

Goodbye. I am so tired of people saying that. Just leave. They won't have it fixed in two months. Their network is over capacity. It will take time to get the network overhauled. I'm gonna enjoy the NetworkVision and unlimited LTE at a great price. My 3G speeds do suck at times, but I'm dealing with it. It will be really awesome soon.

Should there be a Photon sequel?

In my opinion, why not? The phone was a success last year, why not have a successor? If the Photon Q manages to be real, my desired specs are:
4.3" inch HD display
1.2 GHz dual core Tegra 3 processor
Android 4
8MP cam, 4MP front face both with 1080p video capture.
1GB ram. 1GB rom.
The same design as OG, but sleeker with much better battery life.
What would you want it to have?

This plus ICS. I think 1GB RAM is enough but more couldn't hurt.
I use the us cellular version, the electrify, just a rebadged photon and love it. An electrify II could go slightly larger screen, quad core processor, small bump to 1.5GB or better2gb! Thinner, sleeker body, maybe the same battery as Droid razr maxx... Anytime a more powerful battery could be applied. Who could complain!? And ICS or jellybean installed and no motoblur ui....

Yep
The only good thing I can say about my Photon is it has a good radio. For everything else, it sucks. The screen sensitivity for gaming blows, the phone is laggy as hell.. sometimes Ill push something on the screen and it may take 3-8 seconds to recognize I pushed anything.
Ive tried tuning it with various methods and its de-blurred now which helped A LITTLE. I tried V6 Supercharger, Rom Toolbox, overclocked the processor, etc... it still sucks.
I almost bailed on Sprint and went to Verizon when they were winding down their unlimited data. I wish I had. I stayed for the Epic 4G Touch and what a disappointment that turned out to be.
There's something wrong with your phone. I had a photon that the screen was like that, I had it replaced and the new one is great.

Interesting find. Though I am disappointed at how Verizon and HTC are handling the whole incredible series. It has become a budget phone, with the qHD resolution, 1.2 GHz S4 processor and all when other phones are touting HD resolution and 1.5 GHz processors. I hope this is priced at $199 because $299 will be WAY too much for this given that it will be outclassed soon. Well, it at least has the latest processor, albeit underclocked, unlike the dinc2...

And pushing fewer pixels might even make the phone even more responsive. Who knows. I don't mind the smaller screens and the screen resolution bump is about all that could be expected.
LTE is a deal breaker for me. Phone will be in the same situation as the Rezound and not have AOSP. I'd imagine battery life would be terrible as well, wouldn't be a HTC otherwise.

For the price its really nice. I'd consider one. Fully unlocked with the best of android and the first to always get updates for $299. Pretty good deal. I've been wanting a gnex for a while but knew I should wait for the new nexus.

So what does everyone think?
I've never had an LG device. I really prefer Samsung. I love Odin
If it had either a MicroSD slot or 32gb internal memory, I'd be grabbing one.
For one its ugly samsung makes better phones. I don't like lg. Nor nexus phones. spec are ok though.

Great specs but bad reputation as a phone company. The last good phone I think was the Envy 2. To me they're like Acer.

Lg is terrible. I can't believe they gave them a nexus. Never in a million years would I dream about buying an lg phone. I would sooner use an iPhone.

what is REALLY so bad about a LG?
I do want one to use for my work phone.
• It's butt ugly
• It's an LG
• It's on-board internal memory is laughable
• It's screen is way too small
• When can I get my Note II???
if it had lte it would be an alright phone

Horrible update lag, horrible customer service, and horribly ugly phones.

Lack of LTE and an LG emblem = he'll no nevAr for me.

Update lag? It's a Nexus. First strike for me is no LTE. Second is the storage, but I never use the space I have anyways. My sd card is filled with junk. Internal storage I put nothing on it, only whatever the OS and apps put on it.
If it had LTE I'd be all over it. People forget the purpose of the Nexus (dev) phone. It was never meant to be the top of the line device.
Yeah no sd slot kills it for me. I'm a file pack rat and I never delete old builds, etc so I'd be out of space so fast.
LTE doesn't matter to me. I have straight talk now and they only give hspa+. (Half the price of att so no lte is OK with me)
I was hoping the new nexus phone would be a Samsung or Motorola.
Samsung's falling out of favor with devs. LG and Sony seem to be the direction to go. Moto locks everything down so tight.
Don't forget 16GB int storage is also available, what I will be getting
Not bad..... I plan on sticking with my GNote tho... And a fyi LG won't be the only on making the nexus brand for now on

Disappointment, lack of storage space 8gb or 16gb is Damn joke and still pissed me off that google says no sd card because they said it confuses the consumer, android users are not stupid sd card is simple and convenient ,I could live without LTE on AT&T or T-Mobile because hspa+ wouldn't work on Verizon without LTE because there 3g is terribly slow , I'll hold on to my current devices and root ,google can keep that LG garbage specs sound good but LG and phones no thank you .

You do realize that LG is 1 of 3 suppliers for iPhone 5 screens. Also, from early hands on reports, the screen is comparable to hox.
Just because they make screens for apple doesn't men they will use that same level of tech on their own device.
The fact is that lg traditionally makes low end devices. I wouldnt want to own kia's first attempt to compete with the established luxury sedans if Lexus and BMW either. They have zero track record.

You sound like all you do is read Engadget. Have you seen the screen on any of LGs latest devices? Going back as far as the Nitro? The Nitro screen is way better than the Note and the Galaxy Nexus. The Galaxy Nexus was possible the worst screen I've ever seen on a device.
