We just got handed imagery and specs of a possible HTC device in the works codenamed the Zeta. It's a quad-core handset, much like the Edge that was leaked last week, but it has a much faster 2.5GHz APQ8064 CPU along with 1GB of RAM running the show, on a 4.5-inch 720p HD display. According to our source, the uniquely shaped smartphone will come with Ice Cream Sandwich pre-installed with Sense UI (version 4.0 wasn't specified, but we'd be surprised to see it any lower on an ICS device) and have 32GB of internal storage space, an 1,830mAh battery, Beats Audio, Bluetooth 4.0, an 8MP rear camera with dual LED flash, 1080p video capture and a 1.3MP front-facing cam. Dimensions? We have those, too: the Zeta is said to measure at 109.8 x 60.9 x 9.8mm (4.32 x 2.4 x 0.39 inches) and weigh 5.15 ounces (146g). Pricing and availability aren't known, and we're still digging for more info. It certainly has an intriguing look; the sharp corners would be a huge departure from HTC's recent design choices, though it appears to have HTC's signature unibody build in the back. So are we just looking at a cool concept or is this the next flagship phone? We're hoping it's the latter.

No worries man. It happens.
Yours has the image embedded, which is more suitable for lazy people like myself
Lol. Thxz.
Zeta looks to be kick ass. Battery is stepped up nicely as well (for HTC).

Haha, it's all good man, I like the picture in there better too.
Anyways, this thing looks sharp! I wonder how it'd feel to actually hold it though. And 2.5GHz, quad-core is a ridiculous amount of processor power for a phone, it's crazy.
Yeah and the 2.5ghz??? My laptop sits at 2.1ghz...I could probably use Solidworks or Adobe Illustrator off of this phone sitting in class haha.
I wish they would up the camera sensors on it and bump up to Asia's megapixel and lens technology...13 megapixels and LUMIX lens~

They should just make it a damn tablet with these specs, lol. Give it about a 2-inch bigger screen, it'll pass as a nice small, powerful, tablet
This would be more powerful then my laptop. I think its time to get a new one.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
all we need there is USB port, and joystick ti stick in it and play PES
I didn't see this thread, I post another one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19403897#post19403897
also needs hdmi out,gorilla glass,3d camera and display like the supersonic
nice baby
Amazing, powerful, will wait to see more to comes up to 2012.
wait this is for a PHONE? Holy crap ..... this would be better off in a tablet I think ... bt hey, some people crave power, so why not sell it to them?
This will probably be my next phone

Haha... and good drivers for this chip
Any news of this from MWC2009?
To be honest, because of the low sales of the X7510, they are not going to change anything in the new version just so they can get rid of their excess hardware stock. I feel they will only upgrade the following:
Capacitive screen
Bigger resolution
Bigger ROM and RAM
and the rest stays the same...
Just look at what they did with the new HTC Touch PRO 2. Nothing new, still the same old device with a few changes. No big leaps...nothing...
Maybe we can hope that we get hold of a new ROM that the cooks might be able to tweak for our existing devices?
HTV Thoth
The HTC Advantage 4 will be the coolest device ever. It has time travel something like the Apple Time Machine. 3D hologram chat, which means you can see your girlfriend live in front of you. An option to dump windows OS for Apple iphone OS. 15 million pixel camera, a laser beam to defend yourself like Star Wars.
Please place your orders with HTC right now.
greatestkelvin
Ha-ha-ha, cool!
Thoth: More info, 09-2009 release date?
The big news (rumored, not confirmed) is that the processor and RAM/ROM will be upgraded:
HTC 7500/7501/7510 http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Athena?t=anon :
Processor: 624 MHz, Intel PXA270
RAM: 128 MB
ROM: 256 MB
Thoth:
Processor: 1GMHz Qualcomm 8250
RAM: 256 MB
ROM: 512 MB
Additionally, 5.0MP camera, and 480x800 screen.
Still no word on SSD, but I would estimate at least 32GB, but hoping for 64GB!

Let's cross our fingers that HTC won't try and screw something up. They always do in the end. So I guess we will have to wait.
pre-ordering Athena 2 aka Thoth
Where can you place a pre-order?
Any news/info about the Thoth/Athena 2?
I can't found at FCC site.
Hopefully something will be released soon:
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/06/02/htc-showing-some-new-stuff-in-london-on-june-24/
Thoth isn't dead yet...
Here are some recent rumors (same info, from different sites):
http://www.modaco.com/content/windo...thoth-and-omni-may-be-more-than-just-renders/
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC...ing-on-the-Thoth-and-Omni-article-a_7289.html
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=8549
All very tenuous so far. Looks like nothing until 2010...
I hope they release a clamshell device.
If you look at the way HTC's site is configured, it is set up for:
Touch
Touch/type
type only
Since the Athena is touch/type I doubt it be a clamshell, but there are other devices that may be like the Shift
They really should resume development of the Thoth, it seems its time has really come now with the release of the Apple iPad, the Amazon kindle, the Dell mini 5 or even the Samsung mondi, it seems everyone is racing to fill in that sweet spot between maximum portability and capability.
As far as I see it, the htc athena / advantage was years ahead of its time, and consumer demand is only now beginning to catch up with these sort of toss it on the couch when your done surfing the web type devices.
And with Fennec, aka Firefox Mobile about to be released in a few months, with full desktop style youtube and google video support, it will be prime time for the Thoth to establish itself as the original iPad, Kindle, Mini 5, and Slate Pc killer.
C'mon HTC: don't miss out on this opportunity.
Okay, so I've had my Nexus one for a while now, and I was wondering what they could possibly do to the nexus 2 that would make it even better. I'm thinking probably a faster processor, and more ram, but what else comes to mind?
would love to see a FM Trans to like "broadcast" to the radio....Like those transmitters for mp3 players....Would be siiiick to have pandora or something playing over car radio via my phone
Don't they have something that does that already?
better use of the snapdragon processor, but that's software related... I would like it to be more durable such as made from a single block of aluminium. Also a powerful graphics chip.

The HTC Legend is a sexy beast lol. I'd like to get my hands on one if it goes GSM.
Yeah, a more powerful graphics chip would be awesome, I just can't wait til the big developers start moving towards android so we can have some of the awesome games and apps the iPhone has.

I second this. God that thing is amazing. But it won't look right until the Supersonic comes out. THEN a decent Rom will be possible in my eyes.
But with Windows Phone 7 I can imagine the devs are busy porting that to it right now.

Google HTC Scorpion......should be gsm of exactly what your dreaming of
Not that I could care less... but I would really love for the N2 to have a true multi-touch screen to shut that debate down... 1GB of RAM, 4GB internal ROM, 4" screen, XVGA LCD or SuperAMOLED... I don't like AMOLED for outdoor use. 10MP camera, with xenon flash... and of course Android 3.1!

For less than $500 right?
I will be keeping my Nexus for 2 or more years, whatever comes around the corner - i'll just port it over to the Nexus.. since the N1 is like the G1 in terms of development and popularity, I should be ok for a while..
(this is really what I'm just telling myself.. I dont want my precious Nexus to become.. not worth the time of day anymore...)
Why does technology have to advance so fast!! =(
front facing camera for video chat, a high quality speaker-phone, a kickstand with a projected laser keyboard? an hd projector component
hardware keyboard
x
I myself am sick of the having to chase technology.... I'm done for a bit, my n1 will sufficient for a year, I think thats a good time to get a new phone, once every year...
N1 just needs adobe flash and apps to sd and ill be happy as a cucumber....
Video recording capability @ 24 frames per second (constant!) with DECENT audio quality ... like the Milestone. Why have a 480x720 video resolution when the video is laggy and audio is utter crap? Also a flash option on the video recording would also be good - again, just like the Milestone.
Finally, make FM radio work and you have the perfect device.
the 1ghz processor is enough for me. the current amount of ram is enough- maybe a tad bump is cool.
get rid of the amoled display, 4-4.3 inch display. no trackball. sleep/wake from a hardware button like g1/mytouch. being able to shoot hd video.
other than that... having the nexus one has finally made me not eager to look/have the next best cellular device. this n1 almost kicks my netbooks ass
http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/samsung-announces-galaxy-s-android-smartphone
http://www.samsungunpacked.com/#
- 1 GHz Snapdragon
- Super AMOLED, meaning you can view it in full sunlight
- 4" screen
- Android 2.1
- HD video recording
- DivX / XviD / Avi / MKV playback
- Front facing camera
- 1500 mAh battery (N1 is 1400)
- 16 GB memory + microSD
- 9.9mm thin (N1 is 11.5 mm!)

Only problem? Samsung. They've never been amazing with firmware updates. Their app drawer is also really, really ugly.
"Successor" seems a bit of an exaggeration, too, considering this uses a 1 GHz Snapdragon anyway. It's the same generation. I'd consider a device a "successor" if it's the next step up--1.5 GHz processor at the very least.
I bet it will be awesome...until the next version of android comes out.
what about rom/ram?
I'm impressed they have xvid/divx playback in there. I imagine it won't be long until we get that on our nexus one.
And the size??
I mean 4" screen is cool to have, but the whole phone gets bigger...SamsungPad ...but I like the front camera

N1: 59.8 x 119 x 11.5 millimetres, 130 grams (battery included)

S: 64.2 x 122.4 x 9.9mm, 118g
Thinner and lighter. Width and height are just barely larger, which is impressive considering the extra 0.3" on the screen size.

This I can't disagree. The S looks like an iPhone clone. The N1 has its OWN style.
Also, there's the HTC Supersonic: basically a HD2 but with Android on it. Sleek as hell, WiMax/4G support, and an even bigger screen! It's about the only phone currently that makes me lust a little.
cool phone, unfortunately looks too much like an iDoesNot.
I just want the codecs/binaries ported!
Super amoled is amoled and touch sensors in the same layer
Htc supersonic ftw!!!!!!!!!
I dont see this phone being thinner as a good thing. The N1 is thin enough as is. Make the Samsung a little thicker than the N1 with a hard keyboard and im sold.
Hmmmmm...
No sir, I don't like it.
WHY DON'T WE GET THE GOOD PHONES IN CANADA I hate that....
Not bad, not bad at all.
Would ditch that UI though.
NOTE - the concept wasnt made by me credits to VictoR
We always dream that one day sony will make a nice phone,i saw a few concept art pics and put them together!
so here it goes
A powerful windows phone yup and also compatible with Android

The Xperia Leon looks fantastic, definately something i would spend a lot of money to purchase
Leon looks way nicer than the arc. Killer specs too. I hope SE is taking notes here.
Very nice designs.. SE Start taking notes!!.
Will you guys draw up how the experia play should work?
the Xperia play should have been given the new
-A9 cortex Quadcore processor(maybe a dualcore)
-atleast 2000mah batt
-a Nvidia chipset
-atleast 40+ working game titles
the play should have a extended warranty for any analog or playstaion control damage
but sony puts everyone down by giving a lame phone

loved the first one..
honestly, in my opinion SE has the best phone designs already, i mean look at the others, samsung, htc, iSh.t, they all look same ie. with circular corners.
none of them can compete with x10 or arc design..
all of these are sexy. These are how the next gen should look, oh so sexy!!

Seconding this. Just make the x10's bottom bezel smaller and the phone thinner and you have my perfect phone, aesthetically speaking.
Don't care about making phones thinner just for marketing reasons, in fact this annoys me, I'd rather have a slightly fatter phone with a 2000mAh + batt.
But ideal phone would have a 3000mAh bat and function like a camera with xeon flash and 1080p recording at least 30 frames/s. With exmor sensor and large lens (if they as good as they make out they will b unbelievable with a larger lens). Ability to quickly launch the camera with no delay. Size can be same as the x10 but thicker. Sure the designers can still make it look 'sexy'.
Of course running the latest android with unlocked bootloader. No need for dual core just yet but decent graphics performance. 1ghz + Adreno 205/220. With at least 16gb fast flash, 512 ram and micro sd slot.
Also want host usb (ie can connect usb drives and keyboards) and hdmi out. With all the usual features we've come to expect with a phone.

Perfectly adequate for quite many uses. Not a gaming machine by a long shot, but for example someone with poor vision would definitely like the large screen, and with those specs it would browse the web just fine, handle e-mail and so on.

Atleast its specs are fine for ICS, and ICS is just as easy to compile as GB, so I see no reason why not.
It's probably adequate for minor tasks but such a large screen and a relatively low resolution on a low quality screen, I don't know... Definately not "holy ****" as far as I'm concerned. I doubt it's equiped with a decent GPU and that's one of the major requirements for running ICS.
Chances are it isn't even running Android, there are dozens of Chinese iPhone clones running a simple phone OS with iPhone icons and look.
Besides, how much support can you expect from these Chinese copycats as even the major companies are still struggling to update their top models to ICS?
Oh well, you get what you pay for I guess.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Compairing this and the original is obviously pointless. Yes, some people in China might buy it and yes, I'm sure they'll get some profit out of it.
As far as I'm concerned...I just wanna know if it's running real ICS. If it is...then I'm a bit pissed with our ORIGINAL Samsung devices

No, it's not. ICS can run even without any hardware-acceleration at all.

The MediaTek MTK6573 SoC is a fairly popular chip in use on hundreds of different existing Android-phones, there is no reason why it would suddenly run a non-Android OS on this one.
EDIT: Additional information here. Its video-playback capabilities are pretty poor and it only supports FWVGA resolutions, but aside from that it even sports a crude 3D-accelerator, and all the usual goodies like FM-radio, GPS, bluetooth, 802.11n, etc.
