HTC Smartphone and Tablet roundup

Co-authoured by Ollie Ford and Patrick Beavis

HTC recently announced a mountain of new devices, including five smartphones that are subject of this article.

They've updated the Desire range with an extra model, refreshed the Wildfire and announced some Facebook dedicated phones - which can only loosely be called "smartphones" - and refreshed the Incredible too.

There's a bunch of fantastic new devices, really exciting stuff, so head past the break for a comprehensive list of the latest devices, pictures, and links to our posts with more information on each individual mobile.

HTC Incredible S

Co-authored by Ollie Ford and Patrick Beavis

Not too long ago, this new 4"; 1GHz Android smartphone was announced, along with it's carrying networks, which includes 3.

It's got some pretty good features too, including a smooth 4" capacitive touch screen and a massive 8 megapixel shooter; along with HD video recording of course. And some virtual surround sound to boot. 768MB RAM, front facing camera, discrete GPU and 1450mAh battery - it's a decently specced device, however with new devices launching with 1+ GHz dual core CPUs, 3D, bigger batteries, and RAM measured in the GB; it may not quite by the flagship device that HTC had planned for.

Since the announcement, HTC have said it will receive Android updates in Q2 so that doesn't lag behind.

We hope to have a full, in-depth review up soon, but until then, take a look at the HTC website for some more details on all of their handsets.

HTC Pyramid and EVO 3D

HTC Pyramid

HTC EVO 3D

These two flagship "superphones" (I'm gonna go ahead and stick with smartphone) are very similar; the reason for their dual existence is pretty much just down to the USs carrier model. Sprint will get the EVO 3D as you'd expect, with T-Mobile bagging the HTC Pyramid (AT&T too, depending when you upgrade, thanks to the recent buy-out).

Both smartphones pack 4.3" qHD (960x540) capacitive touch displays, dual core 1.2GHz processors, and 5MP cameras on the back, with 1080p video playback.

Then, however, they start to differ. The EVO 3D has two 5MP cameras on the back, for some nifty 3D snaps/recording. It also plays back 3D on it's glasses-free 3D display (at 720p, 1080p is 2D only).

4G support is also on offer, which does make it tricky to predict whether or not we'll see these devices n the UK - our 4G spectrum isn't even being auctioned off to the mobile networks until after the Olympics, since it's being used for low latency raw footage transmissions.

We can always hope though! Keep your eyes peeled, and browsers firmly pointed toward our site for more info soon on pricing, release date, and UK availability.

Sub $300 3DTV

Vizio, the US high-end-on-a-budget TV hit, is all set to release 3D TV's to the masses. Just ahead of CES 2011 they have announced a line of 3DTV's using passive glasses, as opposed to the active shutter tech we're accustomed to seeing at the moment, starting at below $300.
