HTC Kingdom for Sprint

HTC Kingdom for Sprint Fully Exposed



HTC revealed its latest Sprint smartphone today in a beautiful image. Combined with device specifications gleaned from yesterdays leak of the Kingdom and Rider ROMs, we now have the complete picture of what to expect when HTCs Kingdom hits the market.

The Kingdom runs on Qualcomms MSM7630 chipset, which provides CDMA world phone support, coupled with the Adreno 205 GPU. It features 768MB of RAM and a four-inch qHD display with a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera, while the rear camera supports five-megapixels. Interestingly the ROM shows that the Scorpion single-core CPU inside is running at 1.2GHz, which is 200MHz higher than the previously available options, 800MHz and 1GHz, and matches its dual-core Scorpion clock speed.

Of note, HTC's Kingdom is definitely not the EVO 3D as reported elsewhere, sporting a different button layout on the front and sides, however the design is similar overall.

720p recording and playback @ 30 FPS is supported, and dual microphones are included for noise cancellation ability. For connectivity, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n is supported with WiMax and Bluetooth 3.0 also available. Notably, the BCM4329-B1 Bluetooth chipset used supports both FM Receive and FM Transmit, giving the possibility to wirelessly play music on your car radio. The device will ship with Android Gingerbread 2.3.3, with release date and pricing information not yet available.

Adreno 205? I wouldn't sign two years over this device. I wouldn't buy this over the nexus s at all.

So we now have a global android on Sprint bout damn time....

The new Evo 2 global?

[Protagonist]

Global support, qhd screen and dual noise canceling mics make this better then the Nexus specwise.

If this comes out soon this is just about the perfect phone for me. 4", touchscreen only and dual mic is exactly what I want.

It looks like a nice phone, but i want to stick with vanilla Android if possible.

[lennyj17]

IMO EVO 3D is still the Top device.....but if you need Gobal roaming this phone is calling your name!

I just like that we are seeing more Android phones with different flavors to try and fit everybody's individual needs. With no Iphone (not like I want 1), they need to flood users with more smart phones (Blackberry, WM7, & WebOS) as possible.

2 global Android phones, this one with wimax, is a good way to go.

Im sure this phone wont come out less than 2 months after the Evo3D is released.

Im sure this phone wont come out less than 2 months after the Evo3D is released.

That is what my pessimistic side is saying too. Now that my ideal device is being rumored it will probably take forever to appear.

Look how many months after the Evo was released that they released the Epic. They will never kill the buzz of their flagship and probably wont give a date till after the Evo3D is released.

I would take the better screen of the Nexus over this. I would also take dual core of the EVO 3D over this. My dream phone from Sprint would be to chuck the 3D crap and just give it a high end screen.

[AndroidFoneFan]

I have seen the Evo 4g and if the HTC Kingdom is comparable to it in most ways I would be happy with it. If that is, it made it's way to Virgin Mobil.
Question would be, What is the price?
Of course I think I could be equally happy with the LG Optimus Big if it made its way to Virgin Mobile too.
On the Kingdom. A 4 inch screen is plenty big to me. 4.3 is better but in the scheme of things, what is .3 inches on the phone.

[bigsnake49]

You know the specs: 4.3" screen, Wimax radio, SMR compatible, yada, yada....!

[lennyj17]

Look like we'll have a 3rd Global Android option fairly shortly here...

My Goodness all this Hottness Sprint is releasing, and we still have the Nexus 3 and Epic 2 down the line...

And here everyone was b*tching endless about Sprint not participating in CES worried Sprint was getting blown out of the water.....LMAO!.....But I bet it'll be the same B*tching next year if Sprint's not in CES...

And oh yea what happen to "OEM will not make WiMax handsets because of the such superior LTE" someone needs to send that Memo to HTC, Samsung and Moto and Probably LG as they're the OEM more likely for the Nexus 3

[lennyj17]

Just found out that the Kingdom is infact Sprint's variant of the Droid Incredible 2, it will more that likely be named EVO Global or something.
