The word on the street is that one of the first HTC phones with Beats Electronics will be the HTC Vigor for Verizon. Droid-Life claims that the phone will resemble the HTC Thunderbolt, but its innards will be much more powerful. The Vigor is rumored for an October 2011 release. Here are the specs (also rumored):
- 4,3-inch 720p screen
- 1.5GHz dual-core processor
- 1GB RAM
- 16GB internatl storage
- 8-megapixel rear camera
- 2-megapixel front-facing camera
- Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread)
- HTC Sense 3.5
Well color me curious! It will be interesting to see what kind of processor the Vigor uses. The next-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon processor (Krait) is slated for a Q4 release. It features an updated Adreno 225 GPU that compares favorable to the GPUs in the Nvidia Tegra 2 and Samsung Exynos processors. I’m also curious to see what battery life will be like. One of the few things I didn’t like about the Thunderbolt was its poor battery life. I’m hoping that HTC includes a hefty battery that adequately supports the formidable combination of 4G LTE, a 720p screen, and a powerful process.
Any of you interested in the HTC Vigor?
I really want this phone to be called HTC Vigo the Carpathian.
