HTC is preparing its first ever set of smartphones running quad-core processors for launch at the Mobile World Congress 2012 next month in Barcelona. Taiwanese financial newspaper Commercial Times quoted a JPMorgan Chase analyst, Alwin Kwok, stating that HTC will unveil smartphones with quad-core processor chipsets from Nvidia and Qualcomm at the MWC 2012.
Perhaps HTC really has something special to share with us and they just can’t wait. The rumored Android-running HTC Edge with a 720p screen and a quad-core CPU might just turn out to be the large scale announcement that mandated the different approach.
Two months ago in November 2011, HTC products sporting quad-core mobile processors were reported by The Mobile Indian. These three products included HTC Edge with 4.7-inch display and one 720p HD resolution bearing smartphone that is expected to arrive with Android 4.0 and HTC Sense 4.0 UI. While another one was the HTC Quattro tablet with 10.1-inch touchscreen.
The HTC Edge is said to be just one of the new devices that the company will be introducing at the event next month.
So does this mean that we won’t see the Tegra 3 shown off in any smartphones next week?
It’s certainly a possibility.
With these handsets, HTC will also show a glimpse of HTC Sense 4.0 user interface that is expected to come with new breed of smartphones in 2012. HTC Zeta reportedly was merely a concept design.
At the Consumer Electronics Show 2012, which is to be held from January 10-13 this year, Sony Ericsson and Nokia are expected to show their new smartphones but HTC for unknown reasons prefers to wait till next month.
So, for those of you that have been waiting and waiting to see an HTC quad-core smartphone in the flesh, it would appear that you’re going to have to wait another month before you can feast your eyes on one.
Somehow, we think you’ll be able to survive.
