I just wonder where all this is leading too

The first quad-core smartphone has leaked out, folks. We are still fresh off the first benchmarks of the NVIDIA Tegra 3 and, now, we have the HTC Edge, reportedly featuring the same monster CPU, to lust after.

Each of the four Tegra 3 cores of the HTC Edge will be clocked at 1.5GHz. A gig of RAM will be at your disposal, along with 32GB of built-in memory. The device will offer a 4.7" screen with HD resolution.

An 8MP camera unit with f/2.2 lens, capable of capturing 1080p videos will be present as well. Bluetooth 4.0 is expected on board, along with the rest of the usual connectivity. The HTC Edge will, reportedly, be only capable of 21Mbps HSDPA network speeds. We will, however, be seriously surprised if we don't see an LTE version of this beast.

In the software department, we can be all but certain to see Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box. A number of new HTC content services are also expected.

The HTC Edge is expected to hit the market in late Q1, or early Q2 of next year. We are still to find out where are we going to see it go first.

I shall be waiting for this phone

Wonder how quick the battery will die on that baby. Could well be the replacement for my Desire HD.

Would be nice if HTC could start getting Super AmoLED screens in their phones. Maybe Samsung doesn't want to sell them to HTC, or is price gouging for them?

It was reported that they (Samsung) use all the AMOLED screens they can produce themselves, which is why they don't want to sell any to HTC.

HTC switching to Sony Super TFT LCDs from Samsung AMOLEDs

Don’t expect to find an AMOLED display on your next smartphone, unless you plan on buying a Samsung device. A new report from The Korea Herald states that HTC will be forced to remove the AMOLED displays found in several of their popular Android phones including the Nexus One, Desire, and Incredible.

Samsung Mobile Display controls 98 percent of the global AMOLED display market and they are keeping the displays in house to go towards their Samsung Galaxy S line of phones. Analysts expect that Samsung will sell 10 to 15 million units of the Galaxy S, which could move them ahead of HTC in global smartphone market share.

Android and Me

Other than the bigger screen, which just drains the battery faster, I don't see any benefit of this phone over my 2 year old HTC Desire. In fact, I don't think I'll need a new smartphone until this one bites the dust from old age.

A tablet if dome sort will probably be my next IT purchase.
