4.5-inch HTC Raider arrives in South Korea, AT&T awaiting it as the HTC Holiday

The HTC Holiday is expected to be the first handset to ride AT&T’s 4G LTE waves once it arrives, but its South Korean sibling has already landed under the HTC Raider moniker. The two devices are expected to be nearly identical with the main difference being in the frequency support.

There are two things that strikes you the most with the HTC Raider - first is its gigantic 4.5-inch IPS display and the other its relatively elegant design, which makes it stand apart when compared with most of Verizon’s LTE handsets. The HTC Raider measures .44” (11.27cm) at its thickest, while its weight stands at 5.78 ounces (163.8g).

The focus - of course - is on LTE. Theoretical capabilities of the Raider include 100Mbps downloads and uploads at 50Mbps. Under the hood, a powerful 1.5GHz dual-core processor makes Gingerbread tick on the huge screen. On the back, there’s an 8-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash capable of recording 1080p full HD videos, while up front a 1.3-megapixel snapper is a welcome addition for video conferencing.
