HTC Leo – the return of the HTC Omni?

July 18, 2009 | By Surur

Here is a hot tip that just landed in our inbox. Apparently hidden in the depths of the leaked Manilla 2.5 is clues to a device called the HTC Leo with some very intriguing specs. The device will have the now-standard WVGA screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio, but even more interesting is the form factor of the device – it will be a clam shell with an external QVGA screen.

The device will also have plenty of power, supporting Open GL 2.0, suggesting its one of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors.

Now if we are looking at a clamshell device with a large screen, the only device comes to mind the the old HTC Universal, a device which 4 years on still has its adherents, and which has never seen a real successor, except for the long rumoured HTC Omni.

All I can say is … Welcome back!

Thanks anonymous tipster.

Well I am really waiting for HTC Universal successor/upgrade….Universal is the best thing ever happened to HTC. If they can really produce a real successor of universal with the same form factor and with 2 displays then that would be great…They will just kill every one else. I hope and pray that this new device wont end up like Athena.

I dont think so…current roms have no lanscape support, this would only need landscape. Methinks probs snapdragon, yes to wvga 16:9, but it will probs be a candybar touchscreen.

Re TF3D in landscape – seems to work OK in the TP2.
