HTC Incredible looks…incredible!
Posted on 2010 under Android, Desire, Google, Incredible, Mobile News, New Mobile Phones, Nexus One, htc | Comments are offThe industry is a fast moving industry, this much we know is true. Still, when you’ve just released one of the best and most technologically advanced mobile phones ever, you’d like to think you’ve earned some breathing space. Not so for , who already seem intent on topping the recently released with an all new flagship smartphone. What would does one call such an incredible phone? The HTC Incredible of course.
The news comes courtesy of US network Verizon Wireless who have just launched a mini site for the HTC Droid Incredible. Looks as though Verizon are keen to milk the Droid name for all it’s worth having previously launched the Motorola Droid (which we know and love as the ) and HTC Droid Eris (a jazzed up version of the ). But enough about the network, what about the phone?
Well, aside from a slightly altered design with some red detailing to match Verizon (or ‘Big Red’ as they’re known across the pond) the Incredible appears very similar to the Desire/ . A 3.7 inch capacitive is combined with 2.1, HTC’s Sense UI (which is absent from the Nexus One) and powered by a 1GHz processor. So, what’s changed? Well, HTC have upped the RAM and also added in a whopping 8GB of internal memory plus there’s still the MicroSD slot found in the Desire.
The camera is also boosted from a respectable 5 Megapixels up to an eye watering 8 Megapixels complete with Autofocus and video capture. So it seems, rather the Incredible is more evolutionary than revolutionary when compared to the already excellent Desire. The bad news? Well, it looks highly unlikely that we’ll be seeing the HTC Droid Incredible on this side of the Atlantic. As it’s coming to Verizon, the Incredible uses CDMA technology which simply isn’t supported here in the UK (we use the GSM standard). And, with the HTC Desire already a smash hit here in Europe, it seems unlikely will choose to release a GSM version of the Droid Incredible.
Still, until it’s explicitly confirmed one way or another, we’ll continue to dream that we’ll one day be able to get our hands on this handset without hopping on a plane first. Keep an eye on the for more news on this as and when we find out more.
