HTC Preparing a 5-inch Android “Phablet”?

 

Samsung started the “phablet” trend with the Galaxy Note, LG followed with the Optimus Vu, and now HTC is rumored to be preparing its own version of the hybrid phone/tablet device.  The Verge reported that HTC will be launching a 5-inch device in September or October of this year.

If this is true, HTC will be unveiling an impressive device since the rumored specs include a full HD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution.  If that’s not enough to get you excited, reports also say that the HTC device will pack a Qualcomm’s MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 SoC processor running a speed of 1.5GHz paired with an Adreno 320 GPU.  A high definition screen with a fast processor is something HTC needs to stop the recently reported decline in sales.

If HTC is indeed going to release a 5-inch “phablet”, it’s interesting to know if it will also support stylus input similar to the Samsung Galaxy Note and the LG Optimus Vu.

  1. Let’s give it a try. This hybrid/phone tablet or we may call “phablet” by HTC is another innovation from mobile phone family which is now installed with features like a tablet. Maybe it costs higher, but for sure it is worthy buying.

    •  Agree! Can’t pay more for a device that has a battery not suited for Smartphones.
