Photo of HTC Runnymede with Beats Audio leaked

mobile

Plenty of information on HTC’s first smartphone to offer Beats Audio technology, currently codenamed Runnymede, has been leaked but now the first press-quality images of the device have been posted by a Chinese retailer. The photo above clearly shows a Beats logo on the backside of the phone, which appears to be made of metal. The Runnymede could have similar specs to another leaked Beats phone, the HTC Vigor, and is expected to come equipped with a huge 4.7-inch WVGA Super LCD screen, 16GB or 32GB of storage, “SRS surround sound with acoustic performance tuned by Beats,” a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 processor, an 8-megapixel camera capable of recording 720p video, support for 14.4Mbps HSDPA networks and a 1.3-megapixel camera for video chats. The Runnymede is expected to ship with an HTC Beats Solo headset, too. Hopefully we’ll hear more about the package during HTC’s NYC press event on September 20th.

    Just what I wanted on my next Android phone: ANOTHER ugly logo.

      I’d love a big Verizon logo on this so everyone can know I have a true DROID.

      Yeah because that logo on back of the phone is SO ugly and SO prominent.

      Just what I wanted in a phone post, yet more whiners complaining about something completely unrelated to the phone.

        How is the way that the phone looks “completely unrelated to the phone?”

      Well, whats your design smartass? A Clamshell or toss a Qwerty slider into it? Obviously you make phones for a living

        Actually, my design would be to stop releasing Android devices so often, because the operating system itself isn’t that bad, but having 50+ phones on the market at a time is pretty bad. Supply and Demand. Right now, if I saw an Android phone, there are SO MANY OUT RIGHT NOW that I wouldn’t be able to name it for you

        What do you have against $200 phones your tied to for 2 years and being obsolete before your 30 day trial period? It’s the American way : )

        Besides with all these Android phones coming out monthly it keeps the phone reps being employed.

    I wish this had had 1080p and a qhd screen…

    MSM8255 is oooold and not particularly fast, even at 1.5GHz.

    As for Beats, bleh. Same goes for SRS. Pure marketing at the expense of sound quality.

    Love it. The beats headphones are amazing and having them packed in will be a huge boost to that market as well.
