HTC Eternity leaked out with the biggest display on a smartphone, 1.5GHz powering Windows Phone Mango
The HTC Eternity might not look much different than other HTC handsets but it's definitely worth your attention – it's got a humongous 4.7-inch display, nearly eternal in today's smartphone market and definitely the the biggest we've seen so far on a smartphone. It's a Super LCD screen with WVGA resolution. When it comes to the software, judging by the front facing camera, it will run the latest update of Windows Phone, Mango.

A single-core 1.5GHz processor runs the whole show, while the rest of the spec sheet is pretty standard for a high-end device: an 8-megapixel auto-focus camera with dual-LED flash supporting 720p HD recording, the 1.3-megapixel front-facing cam, 16GB of internal storage, along with Wi-Fi, DLNA, GPS and Bluetooth for connectivity.

The biggest question with such a big screen is of course the battery life, so we hope that the 1,650mAh juicer that's included will suffice to get us at least through a day. When can you get it? Not earlier than this fall as that's when Mango comes out, but for those with a fetish for big screens, the wait should be worth it.

I'm sorry, but didn't/doesn't Dell have a 5" phone? Might be considered a "mini-tablet", but it's designed to make phone calls as a primary function....

you are correct but it is considered a micro tablet, and its huge for a phone

Thats the thing....right before it came out and probably right after it came out some places called it a phone, some places place called it a tablet.....

Just make it simple and call it a Phablet.

You are correct sir.

They call it both a 'mini tablet' and a 'tablet phone':

With a 1,650mAh battery this thing will be dead in a matter of a few hours.

I would think this was awesome if it ran Android.

Indeed.. plus WVGA on 4.3 looks very bad now... on a 4.7 it will look even more horrible.

I seriously don't understand why manufacturers just go for low res displays on their phones. If Apple could make a 640x960 326 ppi res screen in mid 2010 - why can't everyone else?!

LG makes Apples displays.

So, do tell me then, why all the high end Optimus\revolution LG phones don't have retina displays?

15. Mario (unregistered) posted on 30 Jun 2011, 15:07 4

the retina display is an apple exclusive, the agreement between apple and LG stated that LG can not use the 960x640 resolution. and i dont think LG would.

22. ilia1986 posted on 30 Jun 2011, 16:16 2 2

Oh OK. So let's use 961x641 resolution then.. or you're going to tell me that Apple patented any display that is above 300 ppi?

And besides - thats just LG - what about Samsung? HTC? Motorola? Sony Ericsson?

23. ArmageddonX posted on 30 Jun 2011, 18:36 3

I completely agree with you. I don't know why all the Displays aren't "Retina" Resolution if we have the technological capability to do so.

I recently purchased a qHD phone with a 4.3" screen and it's beautiful. I can't imagine going back to a WVGA display again.

But 4.7" with WVGA? That's no good.

25. Galen20K posted on 30 Jun 2011, 19:21

couldn't agree more, I'm very happy with the non-Pentile qHD screen on my Sensation.

Believe it or not, not EVERYONE thinks Retina display should be on everything. Most people I know wouldn't even rate it in the top 3 of their phone must have. So if manufacturers can get away with utilizing cheaper displays for greater profit, it's a no brainer.

Your english forbids it.

why is it an OC single core? That has worse battery drain and less power than a dual core at 1 or 1.2ghz. Im assuming they are simply playing a numbers game with the phone to try to impress people. Something tells me the 1650ah battery isnt going to last too long. woops.

10. Su-Rio posted on 30 Jun 2011, 13:09 4

windows phone 7 runs best at single core... it was optimized so far only for single cores at 1ghz at minimum

WHAT CARRIER WILL HAVE THIS FONE.

They would be stupid to release this with a 480x800 resolution. After being on my Evo Shift with a 3.6in screen and 480x800 resolution, the screens on larger devices with the same resolution look like crap. It'll probably have the same effect as the Nintendo DSi XL (same resolution as the DSi but larger screen so the pixels are larger and looked like crap.)
