HTC Pyramid breaks cover, some pictures and specs revealed
Share:
The good news is that the HTC Pyramid is not a shy beast - we hear of rumors and reports about this handset quite often, and now we have a massive leak to share with you.
The guys at XDA-Developers have received some pics that show the HTC Pyramid in all its glory, as well as its (probable) specs. These specs pretty much reiterate what we have heard from previous rumors - this handset is set to arrive with a 4.3-inch qHD resolution display, 1.2GHz processor, two cameras (the rear one may be able to record full HD videos) and 768MB of RAM.
It's anticipated that Android 2.3.2 will run the software side of things, while it's likely that the upcoming version of HTC's custom UI - HTC Sense - will also be on board.
With all these great phones that are on the horizon - like the Motorola DROID BIONIC, the HTC EVO 3D and the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY just to name a few - do you believe this phone will be able to hold its ground against the competitors?

The question is: does it have Pen-Tile LCD same as Motorola Atrix?

The first htc device for t-mobile that isn't skinned with that crappy mysense ui! It shouldn't have taken them this long to come out with a phone with regular sense.

I think regular Sense UI is just as terrible as the mySense UI.

What has happened to the phone market??
All phones look pretty much the same and have similar specs!
Sometimes I miss the good old days, where when you would buy a Nokia, Samsung or Sony-Ericsson you'd actually have a different phone..

Actually, I don't disagree. But it seems with the new tech right now, it needs to be in a phone body that can allow for the room for all the top scale toys. It seems 4.0" or better size touch screens and the width and length of the phone body it affords allows for this right now. Give it a couple more quarters to a year, and hopefully the improvements will allow for more body styles and some different goodies to seperate the phone makers and give more variety.
Now, different color bodies wouldn't be hard. Do not know why EVERY phone needs to be black ..... just sayin.

I'd much rather have the pyramid just for the fact that tmo kicks the crap out sprints phantom 3.9G network.

I wouldn't write off PenTile so quickly. Just because it doesn't use subpixels the same way as an LCD stripe display doesn't mean it's not high resolution. I've been using a 3.1" 800x480 PenTile AMOLED screen and to my eyes it's only slightly worse than the vaunted Retina Display. I have to look reaaaaally close to see the staggered subpixels. And if the RGBW screen really translates into less battery use, people should be happy with it.

ya but an os like wp7, you can see the difference. And whenever there is a line it is clearly visible... maybe not on ur 3.1 inch but on a 4-4.3 u can easily see it

I looked at a Galaxy S 4" screen and yes, it definitely looked crappy compared to my 3.1". There's a size limit to what does and doesn't work using Pentile. I compared an Atrix side by side with an iPhone and while the iPhone looked better, it wasn't a dramatic a difference to my eyes.
Still, why couldn't someone make a regular qHD LCD screen in 3.5-4.3" sizes?

Sorry bud, but its T-Mobile (GSM) hopefully it will run HSPA+ 42
10. macron2000 posted on 31 Mar 2011, 12:20 0 2
The initial specs on this has it as a GSM device with HSPA+ support. Hopefully it will make it state side as it supports both TMO and AT&T bands. Looks like a pretty nice phone.
