Romulous Reports: Vigor, What Does HTC Have Up Their Sleeve Now?

Well the bad news for me is Verizon is reported to be the home of this new phone. However it's still good news for all HTC fans. The HTC Vigor is one bad ass phone and your going to have the pardon the expletive cause it just is. It's no secret to my friends and followers that I much prefer Snapdragon to everything else the dynamic CPU scaling that it offers in it's dual core iterations brings both top notch performance and awesome battery life. The HTC Vigor promises to bring the most powerful Snapdragon we've seen yet to bare. A dual core 1.5 GHz out of the box. Now why is that a big deal you ask? Aren't you holding a snapdragon dual core phone stably overclocked at 1.8 GHz? Yes I am but the next generation of Snapdragons were talking stability at 2.5 GHz and Vigor is looking like one of those handsets. The phone is rumored to be taking a similar form factor to the famous EVO line and though most will say it will look something like the Thunderbolt we know the T-bolt took its looks from the HTC EVO 4G is older sibling. Anyway here is the rumored spec list:

• 4.3 inch 1280 x 720 (720 p) HD Display
• 1GB RAM
• 16 GB Internal Storage
• 8MP Camera 2MP front facing camera
• Android 2.34
• Sense 3.5
• All powered by a dual core 1.5 GHz processor

The phone is also rumored to be the first to be powered by Beats by Dre Audio which is nothing to shake a stick at. For more info on Beats By Dre and their partnership with HTC go HERE. Sound has never been a priority for me but it may fast become one. My current phone is an HTC. My last phone was an HTC and my next phone will be an HTC. Now if I can hold out for the Puccini. More to come folks.

Verizon Galaxy S 2 previewed in Korea??

The United States of Android is waiting with bated breath for the release of the Samsung Galaxy S 2 on all carriers and the leaks have been slow in coming. The T-Mobile Hercules and the Sprint Within have broken cover and made their blurry cam debut recently. The Verizon Function and the AT&T Attain have yet to be seen but IT Tong a Korean site has dropped information on a Korean variant that just may be the Verizon Function.

IT Tong is reporting that this unnamed phone will sport some beastly specs. First and foremost is a 4.5" Super AMOLED Plus screen, 4G LTE Radios, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, an 8MP camera around back with a 2MP camera on the front, and 16GB of internal storage. One of the big questions is which processor will each version of the GS2 bring to the table. If you are a regular reader of this blog you will know that we have been reporting that the Verizon Function will come with not a Samsung sourced processor but a Qualcomm chip set. Guess what chipset this phone has? A 1.5 GHz Qualcomm APQ8060 Snapdragon Dual Core processor! The phone also has a larger 1750 mAh battery on board to help feel that hungry 4G radio.

The only bad news here is that the 4G radio is operating on an 800 MHz LTE frequency while both Verizon and AT&T are on 700 MHz bands. This phone may be Europe bound where this LTE radio would feel right at home. However it would not take much to make this phone 700 MHz friendly so keep an eye out for the Function to show its self off much clearer soon!
