HTC's Galaxy Note rival caught on camera
Friday, November 9, 2012 - 10:44:13
The Samsung Galaxy Note has had a full year to take on the hybrid smartphone/tablet market without any real challenger stepping up to the plate.
This is why more than 10 million of the first generation Galaxy Note range were sold worldwide and also why the Galaxy Note 2 is looking set to be another hit.
However, Samsung will be looking over its shoulder, now that the first images of the HTC DNA have hit the internet, courtesy of EVLeaks.
The HTC DNA has already been seen before, but only under the name of the J Butterfly, which got an exclusive Japanese launch with no UK availability planned.
The DNA will be much more widely sold and sports an impressive range of features that could make the Galaxy Note 2 seem a little behind the times.
The real killer component of the DNA is its five inch touchscreen display. While it may be smaller than the 5.5 inch panel found on the Galaxy Note 2, it packs a much higher resolution of 1920x1080.
For those keeping score, that gives it a full HD 1080p screen, but on a device which can easily fit in the average pocket.
Most people will be used to seeing full HD resolutions on screens measuring 32 inches or more in size, not just five.
The DNA will therefore have a pixel density of 440ppi, which is significantly higher than the 326ppi found on the Retina Display-toting iPhone 5.
An eight megapixel camera, quad core processor and 2GB of RAM will make the DNA about as powerful and competent as the Galaxy Note 2, but the inclusion of Android 4.1 straight out of the box, could give it the edge.
The only question now is why you would bother choosing the HTC One X, when this larger, more powerful model is on the market.
