HTC Holding An Event On April 12th; Pyramid, "Honeycomb" Tablets, Or European EVO 3D?

HTC wants us to join them "to see what's next" on April 12th which is in two weeks. The event starts at 1:30PM GMT which is 8:30AM ET - that's early. Okay, so now it's time to speculate what'll be announced. It could be a number of things: the HTC Pyramid or some "Honeycomb" based tablets. To be honest, it doesn't really which one they announce because I'm looking forward to both. Engadget is guessing that it could be something mediocre like a European EVO 3D launch which would be upsetting.

HTC EVO 3D Officially Hitting Sprint This Summer, Glasses-Free With 4G

If you never picked up an HTC EVO 4G then you might be in luck. Sprint officially announced the EVO 3D today and it's a huge upgrade over the old model. This one features a 4.3-inch glasses-free 3D display, a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, WiMAX connectivity, dual 5MP cameras on the back to take 3D video, a front-facing 1.3MP camera, and Android 2.3 with the Sense UI. The price wasn't announced and it'll be available in the Summer.

HTC EVO 3D's Spec Sheet Leaks Ahead Of CTIA Announcement

It looks like HTC's security wasn't enough to keep PocketNow from snapping the photo above. Yup, those are the leaked specs for the soon to-be-announced EVO 3D which is headed to Sprint. Specs reportedly include a 4.3-inch 3D display with a 960 x 540 resolution, a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, a 5MP camera with a flash and 1080p HD (2D) video recording with 720p (3D) video recording, a front-facing 1.3MP camera, and Android with the Sense UI. It's a pretty good spec sheet, I wonder if it'll have WiMAX as well.

Sprint's CTIA Announcements Leak: HTC EVO 3D, EVO View 4G, Motorola XOOM, BB Playbook

Well, Sprint's CTIA announcements have just been spoiled. BGR has just broke the news that they'll be announcing the HTC EVO 3D, EVO View 4G, Motorola XOOM, the Samsung Rant 3, and a WiFi-only BlackBerry Playbook as well as one with WiMAX connectivity. Pretty awesome stuff. Now, let's get into the specs, shall we?

First off, we have the EVO 3D which is said to feature a 4.3-inch qHD 3D display (960 x 540 resolution), a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 8660 CPU, a 5MP camera, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, a 1,730mAh battery, an HDMI port that will output 1080p and even 720p video, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of ROM, and Android 2.3 with the Sense UI. The smartphone is also said to have the Blockbuster 3D app as well as YouTube 3D. If you're buying into the 3D trend then this may actually be the phone for you.

Next up is reportedly the EVO View 4G. This one will be sporting a 7-inch display (1,024 x 600 resolution), an aluminum unibody, a 5MP camera, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 3.0 support, a 4,000mAh battery, DLNA, HDMI output, and Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" with the Sense UI. It's pretty much exactly like we've been hearing. An HTC Flyer with WiMAX capabilities. Not exactly the best tablet on the market.

Moving along we have the XOOM which will be exactly like the Verizon model but it'll have WiMAX capabilities instead. No clue if it'll initially ship with the device. There's also word on the Samsung Rant 3 which is the most uninteresting of the bunch. This one is said to be a 3G touchscreen handset which is reportedly eco-friendly since it'll have a solar panel on the door... or something like that. The last one is the BlackBerry Playbook which Sprint will be announcing. It'll come in two models, like I said: WiFi-only and WiMAX. I'm assuming there'll be a regular 3G model as well. Definitely quite a big showing for Sprint, so this event should be exciting.
