Not much time has elapsed since HTC unveiled its HTC Desire 820 at the IFA 2014 in Berlin and already there are rumors that the Taiwanese Smartphone maker is preparing to launch a new 5.5-inch phablet that will be powered by MediaTek Octa-Core SoC Processor.

Leakster @upleaks has posted a tweet on Twitter, saying that the specs of the upcoming HTC phablet will be “almost the same as Desire816” but there will be a change in the chipset and RAM. No further details about the processor are provided but the new HTC phablet will most likely have MediaTek’s MT6595 octa-core processor.

The existing HTC Desire 816 has a Qualcomm MSM8928 Snapdragon 400 chipset. Regarding RAM, there is a 1.5GB of RAM in Desire 816 but @upleaks does not specify whether the RAM in the new phablet will be less or more than this. It could be a 2GB RAM with the octa-core chipset, but this is just a guess.

Since the other specs are rumored to be the same, we can expect the upcoming smartphone to feature a 5.5-inch Super LCD2 capacitive touchscreen with 720 x 1280 pixels resolution and 267ppi pixel density. It will sport a 13MP camera at the back with LED flash and HD video and image recording capabilities. It should also have an 8GB of internal memory, a 5MP front-facing camera, a 2600 mAh battery and run the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system. The new phablet would have the usual 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and USB as connectivity options.

Well, although @upleaks is a reliable leakster we can’t be sure whether HTC is really working on such a device.  We will just have to wait and see. Of course, we will keep you informed about any further developments regarding the device.

This has been officially confirmed by the company by posting the following pic with the tagline “# World’s first 8-core 64 phone # Yes, this is the first” (translated). Interestingly, a similar pic was posted by Qualcomm two days back.

It was earlier thought that the HTC Desire 820 will sport an octa-core Snapdragon 615 CPU. However, a new leak by @upleaks suggests that HTC’ s new Desire 820 (codename A50) will host a Qualcomm MSM8916 64 bit quad-core Snapdragon 410 chipset clocked at 1.2GHz.

@upleaks has also leaked information about two upcoming HTC smartwatches – HTC WWY and HTC CWZ. These names appear to be the codenames of these smartwatches. HTC WWY will sport a 1.8-inch 32 x 160p display and a 100mAh battery. It will be water resistant with IP57 certification and may also pack in a fitness tracker. It will be launched sometime in September.

The HTC CWZ is an Android Wear smartwatch that will be released in September across North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Japan, Brazil, Korea and Taiwan. Since both the new HTC smartwatches will allegedly be launched in September, it is quite possible that the company will announce them at the IFA.

Qualcomm gives assurance for a 64-bit Snapdragon powered handset at IFA 2014

The largest smartphone chipset maker Qualcomm today confirmed that a “Snapdragon powered multi-core 64-bit smartphone” is likely to be unveiled at the IFA 2014. However, the chipmaker did not provide much information but released a teaser image. Reports coming from the industry show that this chipset could be found in the upcoming HTC Desire 820.

Unlike the HTC Desire 510 that was announced this week with a 64-bit Snapdragon 410 processor, the HTC Desire 820 is expected to host an octa-core Snapdragon 615 CPU on-board. The Snapdragon 615 comprises of four Cortex A53 cores clocked at 1.8GHz and four Cortex A53 clocked at 1.0GHz.
