HTC Zeta quad-core smartphone gets leaked

TAIWANESE PHONE MAKER HTC has leaked yet another smartphone, this time it's called the Zeta and it's a second quad-core model.

We've seen several leaks from the smartphone maker this month, including the dual-core Ville and the quad-core Edge. The Zeta is another quad-core device but with a faster chip than the Edge at 2.5GHz, according to Engadget.

This chip is Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon processor as opposed to Nvidia's Tegra 3 'Kal-el' chip found in the Edge. The Zeta looks a bit different from the normal HTC styling and will have an unusual 4.5in screen size with an HD 720p resolution display.

The processor will be supported by 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage and an 1830mAh battery. The leak includes a lot of details including an 8 MP rear facing camera, 1.3MP front facing camera, Bluetooth 4.0 and Beats Audio.

It will come pre-loaded with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and the latest version of HTC's Sense overlay, whatever version that will be when or if the phone arrives.

Apparently the handset will be 110x61x9.8mm and weigh 146g. Like most leaked information there is no price or availability data. We take these kinds of things with a pinch of salt, so anything could change about this device or it might even never tip up. µ
