HTC Edge may be one of the first quad-core smartphones
Share:
If the rumored specs of the HTC Edge turn out to be true, then what we have here is quite the beast of a handset. The Edge is a slab-style Android device, possibly of the Ice Cream Sandwich type. It has a 4.7-inch 720p HD display which is sure to make this device a media powerhouse. On the back of the smartphone is said to be an 8 megapixel camera that will surely record video in 1080p HD while a front-facing camera also appears to be present.

What is most exciting about this device is the real possibility that it will pack a 1.5GHz Tegra 3 quad-core processor. That would make it the first smartphone of its kind. Along with the rumored quad-core the Edge will also have 1GB of RAM. The only question that needs to be asked is will the Android platform be able to take advantage of the Tegra 3? Similar questions have been raised about the Asus Transformer Prime which appears to be only a few months away from hitting the market.
The quad-core processor might not be the only first for the HTC Edge. HTC may be overlaying the Android operating system with the newest version of their custom user interface, Sense 4.0. Moreover, given HTC’s recent acquisition of the Beats audio enhancing technology and its inclusion in smartphones such as the HTC Sensation XE and the upcoming HTC Rezound it wouldn’t be a surprise to see it in the Edge as well.
While there aren’t any carriers associated with the HTC Edge at this time, the fact that it seems to support HSPA+ rather than 4G LTE suggests it may be bound for AT&T or T-Mobile. Unfortunately the HTC Edge will not be around for a while, certainly not in time for the holidays. It will likely release in Q1 or Q2 of 2012. Tell us what you think of the HTC Edge in the comments below.

Htc is just quietly brilliant, and they're gonna proof this once again.
P.S. That profile photo, delete it. Change it to ICS or a little android logo. It doesn't show any respect at all.

did someone die and make you boss? freedom of speech also means the freedom to be offended and to offend.
Its also a play on a very old calvin pissing on xxxxx set of stickers. its probably one of the least offensive things on these boards.

Let's just say, I offend people that offend ios, wp, bb and symbiant. Just because android is better. Ok, you can say that. But the explanations why android is better just suck. You clearly didn't read anything of my link.
I think that every os has it's cons and pros. But this article goes about htc. And I find htc still one of the best phones ever made. Even better then samsung. My opinion ;)

what the hell are you talking about tacohunter?
noone said anything about any OS. I am talking about that picture that YOU think someone else needs to bend to your will for.
I dont need to read your link to know that you need to get over yourself if you think your going to tell others how to run their avatar to suit your needs.. end of story.

Cue cries from all sides of "The Nexus/Razr is already obsolete!!"

A smartphone which is considered "future-proof" doesn't exist.
