Yesterday there was 24 codenames leaked online up upcoming HTC devices, one of them was the quad-core HTC edge. Today, new device details have surfaced online of the HTC “Ville” – this was not in the list but the Villa was. The Ville features an all metal casing and measures in at 8mm thin, has a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display, Android OS 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Sense 4.0, a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, 8-megapixel camera that shoots 1080p HD videos capture support, have Beats audio but lacks NFC capabilities. In addition, the formal announcement is expected to be held in February at the Mobile World Congress and the Ville will be an HSPA+ device – no word on carriers.
2012 is looking to be a good year for HTC.

Another article I read said that this phone wasn’t coming out until april… I don’t know how long people are gonna wait to get their ice cream..
… and if this phone doesn’t launch until april how long is it gonna be until we see ice cream sandwich on other htc devices?
This is why people are interested in the galaxy nexus even though its specs are below other devices

Galaxy Nexus won’t be out until December. I honest think a 4 month delay is acceptable. Afterall, functionally wise, Gingerbread is a very stable and capable OS.
This phone is pretty, but I wish it has NFC.

I’m glad it’s a 4.3 inch screen! These are awesome specs! Android 4.0, Sense 4.0, great camera and video…fast processor. Love it.

I agree with you on the screen size. 4.3 size is perfect.

Honestly, phones like this make me excited for what is waiting for me when I get my next phone… 1 year from now.
All I really want is a 4.0 – 4.3 inch display, 1.x Ghz dual core (which everything is), 8MP camera with f/2.2, and, most importantly, 2 days worth of battery life (or 1 day of heavy use)!

It’ll be running ICS so it has no use for the 4 buttons at the bottom. they’ll all be on the screen. I dunno if i’ll like it as much, but here’s to hoping it works!

Man this site is full of android nerds lol…btw all these super specs are useless if the battery sucks which all android manufacturers are known for except Samsung. How long does it take them to figure out that betterylife is essential when you don’t have time to sit beside an outlet till your phone is charged up?? (This is not direct at HTC phones)

Wished it has nfc! And isn’t Snapdragon slower compared to other processors?

For all you “where’s the buttons?” people, Ice Cream Sandwich provides on-screen software keys rather than hardware keys.

Meh, not hating on HTC or anything…but that phone is not comparable to Sony’ Nozomi….12 MP Camera…Full HD Display..a very high PPI which I can’t remember exactly. But yeh, that’s also apart from what you get from the Sony software itself

I work at a Bestbuy mobile store, and I can’t remember the last time a customer asked me what type of processor a phone has. The average cellphone user doesn’t care.
The question I get the most is “Can I play Angry Birds on this phone??”

As someone mentioned, hopefully that’s just a placeholder picture as it looks a bit bland. No buttons should mean ICS with I’m guessing Sense 4.0. As MobileSyrup reviews have been saying, Sense is getting tiresome and needs a refresh. Let’s hope Sense 4.0 is very light upon ICS, no more bloat and a generally smooth operation.
Let’s also hope the Snapdragon processor mentionned is the new Krait so that it can compete with the Tegra 3 devices.
The thinness sounds good. The QHD Super Amoled might be the same one as that of the RAZR, so PenTile, but not too shabby regardless. Figured most devices would have HD displays next year, but what the hell, maybe this one will be cheaper.
