Mobile news site PocketNow has secured an EARTH-SHATTERING trio of exclusives today, with rendered images of three possible new HTC Android phones currently up on the site.
First up is the prettiest and largest one of the leaked new HTC phones, which appears to be a more rounded, streamlined update of the Nexus One design – albeit without an optical or analogue directional input.
Nice. It’s a bit of a shame that capacitive buttons seems to be the norm these days, as we do prefer an actual physical button to press. You can do things in your pockets with physical buttons.
The site also has this image, which has a more mid-range look to it. The new take on the HTC Wildfire at the cheaper end of the spectrum?
And finally, the third unannounced HTC handset is this one. It’s pretty big on bezel, so will presumably be the extreme “entry level” option. Hopefully someone in the know will be along with some model names – if not we’ll have to wait until February’s Mobile World Congress to see if these really are HTC’s next new smartphones.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ January 20, 2011They do seem to have a few too many “design elements” in common with existing phones. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a bit of a fake. We’ll see.
