    Rapid Berry just posted some specs for an upcoming device codenamed 'Aristo'.

    Hardware wise it's quite a beast. Qualcomm APQ 8064 quad core SOC with LTE. The 8064 has 4 Krait cores (the LTE Galaxy S III has 2 Krait cores) along with an Adreno 320 GPU. 4.65" 1280x720 OCTA Glass OLED display. I wonder if it's the display from the Galaxy Nexus.

    There will be North American and Euro versions both of which support LTE. A CDMA version for Verizon wasn't mentioned.

    *EDIT* TELUS has confirmed they're getting the One X+. It's actually coming 'soon' so It's probably going to be a Q4 phone. The HTC webpage says it will come with 64GB of storage.

    Just heard a rumor that the HTC One X+ is coming to TELUS in January. I think it's going to be a 16GB version in white.

    Apparently, the One X+ will look virtually identical to the One X. I don't have other details on exact specifications but other rumors are saying the One X+ will sport Android 4.1 Jellybean, a quad-core 1.6Ghz Tegra 3 AP37 SOC with LTE support. Otherwise, it's quite similar to the One X. 4.7" Super LCD, 8MP, etc.

    The timing seems about right for a refresh of the One X. Come January HTC will need something to keep consumers interested, while they wait for phones which are announced at CES (in January) to become available.

    Over at Crackberry they have gotten their hands on some images of BlackBerry OS 10 in "action."

    It seems as if RIM will be bringing widgets, a much needed visual refresh on application icons with folders showing the icons inside, a universal inbox and finally a shot of the call display screen. Interestingly enough, there appears to be a video button in the call screen for video calling.

    Very nice changes, and yet it still seems to maintain the look and feel of BlackBerry OS.

    I like it, do you? Forum Discussion ...

    HTC Ville smiles for the camera!

    Courtesy of BGR the HTC Ville has made an appearance for the camera.

    Reportedly packing a dual core 1.5GHZ processor, 4.3" QHD SUPER Amoled screen (940 x 540), Sense 4.0 (love it or hate it), 8.0MP camera, HSPA+ and a 1650 mah battery.

    Myself, I don't understand the 1650 battery when manufacturers like Samsung and Motorola are going full steam ahead with fatter, 3000mah or larger batteries. Can this phone last a day on the 1650mah?

    The HTC Raider has some excellent battery life on HSPA and it's running a 1730mah so time will tell.

    Have a look and tell me what you think.

    Refreshed Samsung Galaxy Nexus on the way?

    Word on the street is that there may be a refreshed Samsung Galaxy Nexus coming. I wasrReading over at Android and Me and this thread caught my attention:

    The rumors state that there is going to be a refreshed camera. Possibly along the way of 8.0MP. On top of that, the processors are scheduled to be refreshed using The faster SGX544 GPU is included with Texas Instruments’ upcoming OMAP4470 processor. This is the successor to the original OMAP4460 found in the Galaxy Nexus, that includes the older SGX540 GPU.

    With the Sprint version of the Galaxy Nexus coming soon we'll have to wait and see if they are in fact getting a refreshed model or the LTE based model that Verizon has currently

    Either way, I hope they do launch a refresh on the HSPA+ line as well.
    I use the Galaxy Nexus and while I love the phone, I wish the camera was better. Faster is always better as well so I'll take the processor bump.

    What are your thoughts?

    4G LTE Nokia Lumia 800 On The Way?

    According to CNET:

    The Finnish handset vendor, eager for a comeback, is testing a 4G LTE version of its Lumia 800 smartphone, CNET has learned. That's despite the fact that the Windows Phone operating system powering the Lumia doesn't yet officially support LTE.

    The lack of LTE support has been seen as a critical issue for the U.S. carriers, which are increasingly focusing on 4G devices and services. As a result, anyone supporting Windows Phone, including Nokia, faces hurdles getting approval. But Nokia has been running a 4G LTE version of the Lumia 800 in an effort to get the ball rolling on carrier approval, according to several people familiar with the situation.
