So more and more rumours are popping up, saying that HTC is working on a device to challenge the Note. How could they not actually, the Note is a big succes and at the moment there is pretty much no real competition for it out there.
According to the rumours, first starting with a popup in benchmark results, the device is called the 6435LVW.
It is said to be running a Snapdragon S4 dualcore, but recently the rumours about quadcores are appearing. Seeing as pretty much all top devices are now moving towards quadcores, I'm inclined to believe the quadcore rumour.
According to the benchmark scores it's hooked up to 1.5 gb of memory and it should have 16 gigs of internal storage. It seems that this is not expandable with an SD card.
And then for the most interesting part for most: The screen, according to benchmarks, is a 5 inch 1080p screen. Putting the PPI significantly above that of the iPhone.
Anyways, this is known, and as a user of the OG Note, which is the best phone I've ever had, I'm quite curous to see HTC's take on a phablet. Especially since I don't get particularly warm for the Note 2.
What do you think, is it a good idea for HTC to enter this market? Is it something you would be interested in?
Lets not forget the blurrycams:

I'm not sure I could step down in size, that's too close to an S3 for me. More importantly to me, no sd card slot? Total fail if that's the case, I well not buy anything which doesn't have expansion.
What has this got to do with N7000 development?
wrong section ah.
:victory:
unless you can compare the specs with our Note. Otherwise, we are all here because of our N7000 gadgets. Not just the rumors.
:fingers-crossed:
really hope this gets a UK release, will buy one for sure
I get why HTC are making devices with Non Removable SD cards and batteries ( Like my One S), Its so they can be 'different' and make devices slimmer.
What I dont get is why they remove the expandable memory but only leave the user with 16gb Internal memory (of which 5-6gb is consumed by ROM + Apps etc) which turns out to be around 10gb.
If you're gonna remove battery and expandable memory, Give us a whopping powerful battery (so we dont need to buy extended ones) and some mega internal memory ! (something like 64gb, with USB OTG support). Retards at Apple have been creating 64gb iPhones for quite some time, So its not rocket science!
I dont think any one is going to make something as popular as the Note series, Samsung smashed it with this device and has created a massive fan base, I for one cant imagine ever switching to something else now.

Tbh, that's not bad! It's just a shame there's no mention of other details, like how much storage there is and if it does support SDHC-cards. One can also see what looks like S-Pen, but I do not know if it's just for the looks or if it is actually functional.
I know several people who could actually use this phone just fine.
I can't even imagine how much of a headache it would be going phone shopping in China. We should all have that problem.
the samesung fauxlaxy clnotned?
Samesung, Nukia, and Motorolo.
Salute China.

Edit: Upon closer inspection, the first picture in the link does NOT have an S-Pen. The third seems to show one. Either way... no thanks.
Also, the flash is different between the first picture and the third... If it's more like the third then I want that back-piece!
yes, but there are two different versions, one is 5.3 the other is 5.0

Samsung Galaxy S III Previewed Behind Dummy Plastic Case (Video)

Less than two weeks, that's how much you have to wait until that special Samsung Unpacked event on May 3 in London when everything will be clear to everyone who is expecting the follow-up to the insanely successful Samsung Galaxy S II.
There's been Apple-like buzz (and Cupertino-like secrecy) around the Galaxy S III but it looks like we might have a first look at what to expect. The device pictured above and the one starring in the video below is claimed to be the Galaxy S III. However, it's not the Galaxy S III you'll hold in your hand as it is encased in a dummy plastic case in order to protect its sexy looks.
You want specs? Here you go: 1.4GHz quad-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, 4.6-inch Super AMOLED HD display with 320 PPI, no hardware buttons (yay), eight-megapixel main camera with LED flash and 1080p video recording, 16GB internal storage (plus microSD card expansion slot), NFC, microSIM, 2,050mAh battery and Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich with TouchWiz on top of it.
That being said, the Galaxy S III (or whatever the final name will be) is not a mystery anymore -- granted that the above leak is legit -- except for its final aspect. Check out the video below and let us know of your thoughts. HTC One X killer? Android king for a year?
For what it's worth, the original story with the pictures and video are down which adds more credibility to the entire report. However, thanks to the Internet, there's a copy floating around and more pictures at the Via link.

Got my x10 in February of 2011. First smartphone. Started messing with custom ROMs as soon as I brought it home since it came with 1.6. I went through a period where I was flashing a new ROM every few days or at least a few times a month. Settled on the Prime X ROM from Oodie a while back. I hate stock firmware. This is what I have now.

My problem is that I get an upgrade in October, and I was very excited about it until I actually looked into the phones that are available through AT&T. I don't want to pay $200 for an upgrade so the S3 is out. I am trying to decide between Moto Atrix HD, HTC One X, Samsung GS2 Skyrocket, and Xperia Ion. My wife has the Ion already and I like the phone, but not really sure when there will be any custom roms for it. Atrix HD is looking pretty well locked down and same with the One X unless I can get an older one. Very frustrated right now and I guess I am just complaining so feel free to ignore me if you wish.
At this point I feel like just hanging onto my x10 for a while and seeing what develops. I will also be interested to see how my wife's Ion handles when it gets ICS.
Also thinking of just doing the upgrade, selling whatever phone I get, and buying a Samsung Galaxy Nexus from Google. Only problem with that phone I can see is the camera, but 5MP isn't really that bad and I can just get the wife to take all the pics when I am with her anyway.
Oh yeah, I also hate not having a removable battery.
nice story, well from the rom your running I'd say your better off with the htc one x(just what i think)
If you shop around you can find the Galaxy S3 for $99. Radio shack, Wire fly, Best buy etc. You can have them price match the other.

Hey man i reccomend just sticking with your x10 maybe try a little ice crema sandwhic goodness? id wait for the xperia s if i were you lots of developing for the ss,u and sola and acro s i tinkk!!
All good advice. Thanks for that.
I think part of it may be that when i got my x10, there was already a ton of development on this board. 2.1 was out already, then there was the excitement of waiting for the Gingerbread release and the ROMs that came after that. These are all new phones except for the Skyrocket. Maybe it will pick up once they are out longer.
I do like the One X. The board for that phone is weird though, in that there is all of this development, and then you have people with newer devices or who did the upgrade, whose phones have been locked down again. Only things I don't like about that phone are the lack of an SD card slot and non removable battery. Although when I think about it, I have 1GB (465MB usable) internal memory and an 8GB flash drive in my current phone and i don't feel like I have a lack of space now.
Anyway, i still have a month and a half before I can make a decision so who knows? I have been trying out some of the ICS ROMs on my wife's old x10 and if I find one I like I might flash it on my phone.
I had my mind set on the HTC M9. The "leaks" from evleaks had me drooling.
Watching the live event left me disappointed, then on to Samsung.
For me that phone is utterly stunning, I can't wait to get hold of this & add Nova Prime etc.

I agree with you, it does look outstanding. I cannot understand why so many people are complaining. Samsung have been rightly criticised for their lack of design, especially on the flagship devices. They did a good job with the Note 4 and they upped the bar with the S6.
The usual iDiots complaining it somehow looks like an iPhone, which apart from a similar speaker grill - it clearly does not... There will be those that gripe about the lack of removable battery and SD card of course (and they may have a point) but WAKE UP! This is a phone made by Samsung that actually looks gorgeous and actually looks like a flagship phone.
I am more of a Note fan so I won't be buying an S6 but am very much looking forward to seeing what they come out with for Note 5 this year if it builds upon this revamp of the Galaxy range.
I think the phone looks great. One issue that will bug the crap out of me is the fingerprints on the back. I want the black one, but may have to get white to mask it.

Next issue is spending the extra money for the 128gb. I need the storage.
Just curious. What do most people use all that storage for.

First take into account the OS size, so 32 is now 30 if you're lucky. If you have a kid like me, you take a lot of pics and vids. Average 13mp photo is 5mb or so each. Now with this phone, I'd have to copy all the data on my 128gb SD off to the phone storage. Taking into consideration I had a S4, S5, N3, N4, G2, G3, iphone 6. All photos and vids from each of those I have on my SD. It adds up.

I have an Atrix HD that I've extended well past it's expected lifetime, and am looking for my next phone. My priorities are battery life (without huge dimensions) and cost. It seems like the LG G2 (AT&T) would be a step up from the Atrix HD, and at $200 on Ebay, it wouldn't have to be a long term commitment. I was weighing that phone against the One Plus One, but the size was a little off-putting, and I like being able to throw my phone in my pocket and not be too protective.
I was hoping somebody could tell me why an LG G2 in 2015's a bad idea given my priorities. I haven't been able to find many recent articles (as of 2015) that count it out, and it seems like the ROM community is still active, with Lollipop in the works.
For $200, the G2 is a fantastic phone. Even on just the stock 20H rom, the battery is really good. :angel:
My only 3 complaints are the lack of SD card, the rear case is really slippy, (which can be sorted easily with a TPU case.) and the lack of a recents button. (which can be sorted with root and xposed.)
Don't be too concerned about Lollipop as there are issues even with 5.1 on the Nexus devices. As 4.4.2 on 20H firmware is really stable with good speed, Lollipop just doesnt bring enough to the party.

I got spoiled on the Atrix HD with a 3000 mAh battery mod (shove a Razr Maxx battery somewhere it shouldn't be), and find it crucial to not finding myself out of battery after long train commutes and in an office with poor reception.

The lack of SD card is disappointing, but 32 GB isn't terrible for holding onto some music and locally cached map data.

A case seems like a fine solution. My current car mount is specific to the Atrix, so I'm stuck looking for new accessories anyway.
For $200, it seemed like a great deal and should get me through at least a year or two. Is there any way to predict if the older snapdragon will be able to handle 2 years worth of increasing expectations by programmers?
