2.5GHz quad core HTC Zeta leaked online
The HTC Zeta, complete with Android 4.0, a 2.5GHz quad-core CPU and 4.3-inch 720p display, has leaked online
The HTC Zeta has been leaked online – and what a phone it is. We’re talking Android 4.0, a 4.3-inch 720p display and, best of all, a 2.5GHz quad-core CPU. Pick your jaw up off the floor and read on.
The scoop comes via Engadget, which reports that Zeta – most likely a codename – has a much faster CPU at 2.5GHz than last week’s other HTC leak, the Edge.
According to the source, the uniquely shaped HTC Zeta ‘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 8-megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash, 1080p video capture and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing cam.’
Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well that may well be the case. You see, HTC has yet to even confirm the Edge, which means this device could be a hoax or, most likely, just a conceptual handset – the image does look rather a lot like PC-generated render.
In terms of dimensions, the Zeta is said to measure 109.8×60.9×9.8mm and weight in at 146g – 5g lighter than the Sensation XE.
It also looks like HTC has finally started to shake things up in its design department. The Zeta looks very different from what we’ve seem to date from the Taiwanese manufacturer.
Nonetheless, we’ve seen plenty of HTC leaks that turned into real handsets within a couple of months of them first showing up online, anyone remember the HTC Pyramid? That turned out to be the Sensation in the end.
There’s no word on a release date as yet nor is there any details regarding pricing. But judging by how impressive the spec is, we’d say what you’re looking at here is HTC’s up-and-coming flagship device for Q1 or Q2 of 2012.
Expect to see more of this handset, along with the Edge, at Mobile World Congress 2012, if it actually exists.
