This thread was opened to talk about the successor of the current HTC Desire HD. We still do not know when it will come. The shortly to be announced HTC Evo 3D is not a GSM phone but the codenamed HTC DoubleShot which is running T-Mo's bands are GSM based so it has potential to be the next international flagship.

So, this thread will be based on general stuffs on dual core snapdragons, what it is potential of doing and what phone which is potentially to be the HTC Desire HD2. This thread will be updated from time to time until there will be an official thread for HTC Desire HD successor. I apologize if this thread is a little bit messy since this is sorta a mixed info of rumors. Once specs confirmed, all irrelevant info will be removed.



Evo 3D will be different perhaps to the GSM version of "pyramid" but we will have the idea of what to expect and what new design/technology HTC is now up to.


Rumored specs for HTC Pyramid (GSM version, not Evo 3D):

1.2ghz processor
768mb RAM
8mp rear facing camera
1.3mp front facing camera


Potential specs for HTC Evo 3D :

HTC EVO 3D features

* Kickstand which allows the phone to stand in portrait and landscape mode
* Front of handset will feature EVO-like metal grill, but there is no room for Sprint of HTC logo
* 4.3-inch qHD 3D display with no fps lock like original EVO
* Handset will be smaller than original EVO 4G
* 1GB or RAM, 4GB ROM
* Data ports and jacks are still located at the top and bottom of the device
* HTC Sense 2.0 with the ability to rotate into landscape mode (think HTC Desire Z)
* Full HDMI output for video, pictures, apps, and even 3D content
* EVO 3D will be lithographed on the kickstand metal
* Large battery that can last 8am to 6pm under stress test
* Dual-core processor is smaller than older Snapdragon processor resulting in better battery life
* 3 megapixel front-facing-camera
* Undisclosed rear camera specs but will features “some cool tricks other than stereoscopic.”
* Battery is interchangeable but shouldn’t be necessary
* Scorpion chipset has built-in DRM authentication which allows for support for apps like Netflix, Hulu, and Blockbuster
* HTC media link will be integrated
* Boot loader will not be locked
* Bluetooth support for keyboard and mouse
* NFC functionality

battery life is whats most important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


look at atrix..1930!! thats a lot of power

its rumored to have 1730mAh battery.. not confirmed yet.. maybe Evo 3D which have 1730.. what i see from the design is a small battery indeed to fit in

i know that this thread is a lil bit mess since Sprint Evo 3D and GSM version of DesireHD2 is different device and Sprint always gets the better specs, but once rumors are confirmed or denied, false one will be cleaned up

Congratulations on a new thread.
Seem pluginbaby become a TS although busy with other things.

Looking forward to another info on pyramid.

at last,htc soon launch their monster phone to compete with moto, sam and LG

the 2nd line sounds like a sarcasm.. lmao.. .. trying my best to spill me lil spare time

HTC better come out with it ASAP

If not SGS II and other Dual-Cores phone gonna take over the market, as HTC's current line up all still..

Btw, gratz on new TS & thread

benchmark has proven that it lost to all other dual core CPU/GPUs.. they say maybe its not finalized yet but maybe it really is sorta snail-like compared to other dual core devices.. we shall see it benchmarked again in the final production unit

someday, smartphone benchmarks will be as useless as PC benchmarks.

Notice that the app drawer for the Pyramid has a 'home' icon as opposed to the usual HTC Sense one. I don't even know what that means. HTC Sense with stock app drawer? HTC phone with vanilla android?

P/S: I thought that was an existing thread for the Pyramid already...

maybe its a diff launcher.. or maybe its only a mocked up.. not confirmed yet on that.

I did notice there is quite a while back. I actually am not focusing on Pyramid only. Its what to expect as the DesireHD2. HTC Pyramid might only be the codename for Evo 3D.

Names and codenames rumored:

Pyramid - aint sure, maybe its the codename GSM DHD successor or its the codename of Evo 3D
Doubleshot - perhaps the codename for T-Mobile variant
Evo 3D - The confirmed name for Sprints 4.3inch dualcore HTC
DesireHD2 - What we all expect it to be named
Shooter - the codename found, expected to be the Evo 3D

everything rumoured lol....

and i thought sgs2 is a long wait.

I think it won't change.

Scorpion dualcore is still pretty much Snapdragon tech, which should perform like a cortex a8 with faster FPU calculations. It will pretty much lose to the other dual cores by 5-20% in processor.

The games score tells me Adreno 220 will suck.

one sentence. Dont judge too much, its just rumours.

We should wait till someone get their hands on one

Tread will be closed. Too many similar thread so i guess u guys can discuss there
