My Guess of the HTC Fireball

**amgalloway** · 02-26-2012, 11:21 PM

This is NOT official!!!

My estimated Specs:
1.2-1.5 GHz Dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Processor
qHD or HD screen
4.3-4.5 inch screen
Sense 4.0 (With camera & Beats Audio)
8MP Camera & 1.3-2.0mp front camera
LTE

Will be named HTC Droid Incredible 3

Again, take this as a grain of salt, it is NOT official. I just wanted to give some estimations. It may be very similar to the HTC One X or S

If it had those specs and had the HD screen, I'd probably buy it. qHD would be a deal breaker. Anything but an S4 would be a deal breaker.

Pretty much as close to the One X as possible.

Rabble rabble rabble.

Didn't the leak already show it as having a VGA FFC? I know clock speed can change, as sometimes test units are clocked differently, etc..... Then again, it could have been an earlier prototype, but since it's been rumored for so long, I'm thinking they might have the hardware finalized by now.

**duffman452001** · 02-27-2012, 08:56 PM

I'm REALLY hoping this rumor is correct

"The HTC Fireball is said to have a 1.3 GHz dual core processor, 1 GB RAM, a 4.3 inch HD display, running Ice Cream Sandwich, and a slide out keyboard."

Hopefully with a snapdragon S4

Please, please, please be global ready. Be the LTE, ICS, global phone that I'm waiting for.

**Bbeelzebub** · 03-08-2012, 04:21 PM

Passed by the FCC today:

**lotalota** · 03-08-2012, 05:53 PM

Bummer. It doesn't look like it has world phone capability.

**Premium1** · 03-08-2012, 06:00 PM

if they stuck an s3 processor in it it will be a total fail.

**darienjh** · 03-17-2012, 12:29 AM

Im pretty sure thats how some of Verizons LTE phones start up. Ive seen that startup boot on a Verizon phone before.

**Clay333** · 03-23-2012, 01:08 PM

I think you are right about it being the incredible 3. I think it will be Verizons mid range HTC phone and the Edge will be there high end.

There are no signs pointing to the one x coming to Verizon. Verizon always gets hosed when it comes to HTC.

There is every indication Verizon is getting a version of the X. HTC went out of their way to point out the carrier support for the One line, and Verizon will certainly be one of them.

Quite the opposite, actually. HTC went out of their way to point out carrier support and Verizon was completely absent from the list.

I would love to see where you saw this. I've only seen the one x with an lte radio for AT&T.

They did not identify carriers except att and a couple others. They stated they had 130 on board. Verizon will be one of them.

So again, there is no evidence that the one x is coming to Verizon.

Proof or it didn't happen......

Here is a blurb. Check the link above for all of the global "140 mobile operators and distributors". I see no Verizon here, and maybe Verizon is starting to shut them out due to their unlock policy.

Doubt this, as VZW did get the nexus, and will be carrying the fireball (incredible hd/4g/whatever they are gonna call it).

VZW has always been behind the ball for top HTC phones. Not really sure what VZW's fascination with Motorola is, seems like Moto puts out a new "top of the line" phone for VZW every other week (Bionic, Razr, Razr Maxx, Fighter, plus Droid 4, DX2, Droid 3, whatever else they put out)...in the mean time, since thunderbolt VZW has put out Incredible 2, ReZound (which admittedly is pretty cool, but its no one x), and Rhyme...now we get another Incredible remake?

**venious** · 03-27-2012, 01:54 PM

Verizon likes moto because they sell well and the company is probably easier to work with compared to HTC. HTC probably doesn't want to be restricted by the Droid baggage and limitations, and Verizon doesn't want HTC taking sales from the high dollar moto and Samsung releases. My prediction is that the fireball will fit in the mid tier, but it will be no One series phone. Expect a One phone for Verizon after the popularity soars, in 6 to 12 months.

My number 1 question on my next phone will be battery life. I have a fascinate now, it used to be a beautiful phone but the battery was not good. So i got the extend battery and now i get a full 16 hour day, BUT the extended battery killed the beautiful look of the phone and made it look like it has a huge ****.

plus why should i have to spend extra for a phone to last the day without getting charged?
Now that Motorola has shown that you can have a smartphone AND long battery life with it's Razr Maxx, plus surveys showing that battery life is the number 1 thing people want fromtheir next phone any phone that doesntprovide that is not a smartphone but a pretty dumb one.

**albertgeorge** · 04-08-2012, 08:33 PM

I can see if having a 720p screen, but if qhd. I dont see the point of coming out with a phone after the rezound, that is worst than the rezound. But has sense 4? huh..

That is because it has the s4 processor which blows the s3 in the rezound out of the water. Most likely this would be priced lower than the normal "high end" android lte phones since the inc line is no longer considered top of the line in verizon's eyes.
