The HTC Ruby has been leaked several times before so now we know that it will be an Android smartphone with a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor, 42Mbps HSPA+ support, and an 8-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash and full HD video recording. If Ruby was the known codename of the device, then now we finally found out the retail name of T-Mobile’s upcoming flagship smartphone: Amaze 4G.
HTC accustomed us with giving such names to its devices and it seems like these adjectives will never come to an end. I remind you that the Taiwan-based companies offers smartphones like the Desire, Sensation, Thunderbolt, Incredible, Bravo, and Wildfire. The 4.3-inch touchscreen device will be marketed as Amaze 4G by T-Mobile, so we’re guessing that it will be exclusively sold through T-Mo while other carriers like AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will not get a taste of the smartphone.
According to the rumor mill, the HTC Ruby aka Amaze 4G release date is October 26th along with the Samsung Hercules, the Galaxy S II smartphone for T-Mobile, but the carrier has yet to come forward about these two handsets so we’re going to have to wait.
Meanwhile another HTC smartphone has been leaked somewhere in Germany. It goes by the name of Vigor and it’s packing some very interesting features like a 4.3-inch touchscreen at HD-ready 1280 x 720 resolution, dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor, 8MP camera, Android 2.3.4 with Sense UI, and Beats by Dr. Dre support.
The HTC Vigor will most likely become the first smartphone to support Beats technology after HTC recently signed an agreement with the company last week. A release date is not mentioned, but the design of the Vigor is not like anything we’ve seen before so we’re going to assume that it will replace the Legend.
HTC has made it official that it will release up to eight new smartphones by the end of the year and with so many leaks we’re going to assume that we pretty much know what the Taiwan-based company is cooking in the oven.
Until we’re going to officially get a taste of these 8 handsets, HTC has decided to file a suit against Apple citing three patents in the US. HTC’s patents concern WiFi technologies and PDA-cellphone combination so the Taiwanese firm wants the US to ban iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Apple computer sales across the country.
HTC says that Apple is using WiFi technologies in its computers without approval, and that the iPhone is a combination between PDAs and cellphones so justice must be made. Well , we believe that these lawsuits must come to an end soon because everyone is getting tired of them and it’s affecting the advancement in mobile technology.
