HTC's HD3 with Windows Phone 7 Specs 'Leaked'

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

Specs have supposedly leaked surrounding a meaty Windows Phone 7 device from HTC.

In unrelated news, Google recently debunked reports surrounding the upcoming hardware requirements for Android v3.0 (aka Gingerbread), insinuating that the info was fake. With that said, Friday's supposed leaked specs of HTC's Windows Phone 7-based HD3 "superphone" may be debunked just as easily by HTC. The specs originated from images acquired by Chinese site PCOnline and certainly outline a tasty, mobile powerhouse albeit unofficial.

The supposed HD3 won't be small to say the least--it will come packed with a 4.5-inch AMOLED multi-touch screen (115-mm x 65-mm x 10-mm) sporting a 1280 x 800 resolution. It will also support 1080p HD video playback, 720p HD video recording, and an HDMI output for watching said media on your HDTV or monitor. There's also a 8-megapixel camera with a dual-LED flash.

As for system components, the HTC HD3 will use Qualcomm's 1.5 GHz Snapdragon processor, 1GB of on-board RAM, 1GB of internal storage, and 32GB of external storage. Other features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G and 4G connectivity, a 3.5-inch headphone jack, and a 1800 mAh battery. Overall the device will measure just 10-mm thick.

While I'm not all that fired up about Windows Phone 7 OS (even though Xbox Live will be integrated), the HTC HD3 definitely looks hot. It will be interesting to see what happens at the end of the year... if the HD3 images are indeed real.

720p-capable display on the phone? Hell yes! :)

Even if this is true I'd wait with buying a phone until the dual-core Cortex A9 variants are out. That's to say Tegra2, OMAP 4 and whatever Qualcomm and Samsung ends up bringing to market.

This would be so much better with an Android version. I am just unimpressed by WP7 from the demos I've seen.

lol... the leaked spec sheet reads "1.5 GB Qualcomm Snapdragon"...wow. That by itself makes me question the legitimacy of this leak.

Considering internal company documents not meant for public viewing aren't written with as much care for polish, typos can occur, so I could see it. However, a display that size with the resolution of my old laptop, that's impressive. I have to wonder how they managed that.

might not be fake at all. Snapdragon section at Qualcomm's website shows an upcoming chip listed as QSD8672 which features the following:



* Dual CPUs, up to 1.5 GHz for faster response and processing
* Low-power 45nm process technology for higher integration and performance
* Higher-resolution WSXGA (1440 x 900) display support
* High-definition (1080p) video recording and playback
* Support for HSPA+ networks - 28 Mbps downloads and 11 Mbps uploads
* Supports CDMA2000 1X , 1xEV-DO Rel 0/A/B networks
* Improved 3D graphics - up to 80M triangles/sec and 500M+ 3D pixels/sec

Nobody else noticed it has SD card support which is a big no no for winmob7. Im guessing fake based on the fact winmo7 will not support external storage.

Ah, indeed. That would explain why the HTC logo subtext says 'simply powerful' instead of 'quietly brilliant' as well.

And why don't i care that you aren't fired up. I am! So next time try to be a person that wants the economy to grow by selling more thing and consumers buying more thing instead of the oppisite by putting things down. Boo tomshardware

'TAKE THAT APPLE...... phhh retina display. MY ASS!'

Yeah, it sounds reasonable to compare a model which is available to buy currently to a possibly fake spec sheet for a future phone which has no release date.

Latest Rumour:
Apple IPhone5 SPEC SHEET RELEASED, 10,000 x 5,000 resolution and a 45" screen. TAKE THAT HTC... PSSH 800 X 1280 MY ASS

(Your hatred for Apple is pathetic)

has been known to be a fake made a while back that was mistakenly recirculated. also, why does the first sentence of the article have nothing to do with the article itself?

wow!! such a shame that, from a consumer standpoint, winmo7 is just iphone OS with a windows badge. exactly the same limits and restrictions. while it will be BETTER than the iphone (lets you pick your hardware, dev tools vastly superior, what seems to be a better OS) many of the people who hate the iPhone will have the same reasons to hate winmo7. also, as awesome as the dev tools are, they make it EXTREMELY difficult to port to, because its c#, where everything else is c++, so don't expect iphone apps to be ported across instantly, and don't believe what they say about XBLA games porting across by just changing "4 lines of code" that only applies to the SEVEN or so that were written in c#, an ability only recently added to XBLA games. any written in c++ (and all the big ones will continue to be) will take FOREVER to port.

in short.
great, love the specs, I'll wait for the android 3 version. the only people who will initially buy this are xbox fanboys (which there are alot of admittedly) xbox live integration is the ONLY unique selling point they have. otherwise I see no reason for any iphone or android person to switch.

Windows Mobile Phone has flopped too many times. Kin was left dead in a few weeks. IPhone and Android are far far ahead. Android is free and open, I will never again choose something that is closed .....

Good hardware, wonder if I can run Win 6.5 on it. That's not a joke by the way, I've played with all phones and I still like 6.5

This is clearly a fake because the Hardware Requirements for Windows Mobile 7 prohibit the presence of any sort of external storage. Only Internal Storage is allowed. Secondly the processor speed typo is also a bit suspicious.
