As you may have heard NenaMark is a famous benchmark application for Android measuring graphic performance. So it posted a few benchmark results online for making the world get informed about the new smartphone and mentioned a few of its specs like GPU make and model, CPU clock speed, and Android version.

What will the new HTC smartphone look like? It will have a screen with resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels; it will be based on a 1.4GHz CPU and will run Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. Besides, the HTC OPERAUL has an Adreno 305 GPU handling all the complex graphics computations, which means the device is powered by a dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus chip – presumably the MSM8x30.

It seems like we have the chance to know more about the new 5-inch smartphone by HTC that will be offered by Verizon Wireless. Still yesterday we talked about the name of the new smartphone, but today it turns out the device will get launched as the HTC Droid DNA instead of the HTC DLX. The HTC 6435LVW has already gone through the Global Certification Forum, besides we had the chance to have a glance at the first pictures of the smartphone with Verizon branding.

As for now, the device has popped up on Verizon’s Minimum Advertised Price list under the name of the HTC DROID DNA. So the codename HTC DLX is changed with the real name of the smartphone. It will be really cool if the HTC DROID DNA would be the official name of the smartphone but not the HTC DROID DNA 4G LTE.

The minimum advertised price is set at $199 – I guess it’s a nice price for a high-end device. The start date for the MAP is November 20, which lines up with the Thanksgiving-esque launch window.  However, we still have not official confirmation of this, all we have are folks. So all of us are waiting for the device we used to call the DROID phablet, it’s on a way.

Besides the HTC DROID DNA the MAP list also included the Samsung Galaxy Note II that will get launched in silver and black colors for $299.99 with a two-year pact. There are also a couple of Windows Phone 8 models, one of which is the HTC Windows Phone 8X that will come in blue, black or red at $199.99 on contract from November 12th. According to the MAP the Samsung Galaxy SIII will soon be available in different colors, black and amber brown. However, the MAP did a good job, although it was not meant for revealing the pricing and the launch date of future devices.

Verizon Wireless is going to launch a new smartphone known as the HTC DLX in the US.  This new Verizon-branded smartphone is also known as the HTC Droid Incredible X. I guess you have read about the HTC J Butterfly, a new 5-inch smartphone that was announced in Japan a few days ago. Why I mention this, because I want you to notice the Taiwan based company continues launching new devices.

As for the HTC DLX comes based on a quad-core processor (probably Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chip), it has 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of onboard storage. The OS of the HTC DLX is Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean, besides it features HTC Sense UI 4+.  Supporting a 5-inch touch screen display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, the HTC DLX supports an 8MP rear-facing camera and a 2MP front-facing camera. The other features are the Beats Audio, Bluetooth 4.0, a 2,500 mAh non-removable battery, and 4G LTE connectivity.

Judging from the pics the HTC DLX is not that bad. The design is nice and simple and we at last have a few specs of it. Still a few days ago we did not know the exact name of the smartphone. We knew that HTC 6435LVW or Droid Incredible X or Nexus 5 or DLX Passed Certification with LTE on board. However, let’s wait to see what it’ll be.

There are so many amazing devices that will get released at holiday season and will make our holiday even happier.

The chief executive of Nokia Stephen Elop confirmed that Windows Phone is the main platform of Nokia smartphones still in February 2011. Then this seemed to be a decision that was supposed to bring Microsoft out of its mobile gutter and announce its as the third mobile platform.

However, the things did not go the way that was planned. It’s already two years after its launch, and Windows Phone still competes with Android and Apple devices. Besides, we always hear rumors, that Microsoft is unhappy about it and is going to make its own surface phone in the coming 2013. This should make Nokia get excited. For the first time Elop admitted that it is really possible and welcomed it.

Read the response on how Nokia reacted to the new Surface phone of 2013.

“It’s certainly a stimulant to the ecosystem. We’re encouraging of HTC and Samsung and Microsoft or whomever to have devices in the market and to be making whatever investments that helps spur the ecosystem on.”

Surely, this does not ensure the rumor of the possible Surface phone but someway accepts its possibility and if it is done the same way as the Surface tablet, Microsoft most likely will not be happy to see what its vendors bring to the market. Nokia is most likely excited.
