More leaked photos of HTC Ace/Desire HD?

BGR has several clear shots of an upcoming Android device that’s coming to Verizon. It spots a 4.3″ display, dual LED, front facing camera and 8 Megapixel Camera. It looks very similar to the EVO 4G and we believe it is the same phone on the previous leaked photos of HTC Ace / Desire HD.

It is slightly bigger when compared to the iPhone 4 and the body looks like it shares the same materials used on the HTC Desire/Nexus One. As mentioned earlier, we have a strong feeling that this device might make an appearance during HTC’s big announcement on September 15.

Head on to BGR for more photos.

Rumour: RIM making Blackberry Tablet – BlackPad?

A few days back, it was reported that RIM had purchased the domain name Blackpad.com. This sparked rumours that a possible new Blackberry tablet/ipad-like device is in the works.

A blackberry tablet was rumoured couple of months ago which said to feature a 8.9″ screen and connects via Bluetooth and WiFi only. It is also said that the focus is towards multimedia, ebooks or basically a tablet for the home, considering it lacks 3G cellular connectivity. This is a totally different product from the usual Blackberry range of products.

Nothing is concrete at the moment but we are eager to see what Blackberry could do with a tablet format which is currently dominated by iPads and with Android making an entrance soon.

HTC Ace could be the next Desire

We briefly wrote about the HTC Ace, the codename for the new a new device the company is purportedly working on.

Previously we got wind that the Ace would be a HTC EVO 4G sans WiMAX but this is not confirmed and there are two sides of the story. Another source claims that the HTC Ace is actually a Desire dressed in Droid Incredible clothes destined for European markets.

We’re more inclined to think that the upcoming Ace will be more like the EVO 4G then the Incredible, but it won’t be the EVO 4G exactly.

Why are we saying this? Because we’re seeing postings about an apparent leak of a new flagship device from HTC and that device is condenamed Ace. The “leaked” specs are very similar to what the EVO 4G is sporting right now. That means the Ace will very likely be packing a 4.3in WVGA screen, a 1GHz processor of the Snapdragon kind and an 8MP camera with 720p video.

In addition, the leak revealed that the new HTC flagship device will carry 4GB on board memory and run on FroYo.

In terms of construction, the leak mention that the new device will be constructed from a single billet of Aluminium simillar to the one on the HTC Legend. Launch date is slated in October.

Unfortunately the source has already brought down the post but we have a feeling that there’s some truth in the specs. So, could the HTC Ace actually be a Desire 2?

We can’t confirm at this moment in time but we’ll keep a close watch on developments to give you the latest.

RUMOUR: Samsung Galaxy S2 with 2GHz CPU and HD 720 Screen

Slashgear has reported what seems to be a rumour of Samsung Galaxy S next successor, believed to be called the Galaxy S2 i9200. The Galaxy S currently ranks highly in our list of recommended Android phones and we would expect the successor to bring our expectations to a higher level.

The rumoured successor model is spec’ed to the max boasting 2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM with 4GB of ROM. It is also reported to have a 1280×720 Super AMOLED screen which dwarfs the iPhone 4 retina display on paper. To top it off, its 8MP Camera records video at 1080p.

This couldn’t come in a better time as Motorola’s CEO had mentioned that a 2GHz Android device would be coming by end of this year. Of course, we would iterate that this is still a rumour. However we won’t be surprise if its true since the Android segment would eventually need to counter iPhone 4′s offering one way or another.

We would like to add that HTC and Motorola, which both enjoyed some dominance recently has gotta work double time as the Koreans are rising up in the Android game.
