Update [October 22, 2016]: HTC Bolt, which could be called HTC 10 Evo (in US, or everywhere), now has a full list of specifications available under the rumor mill. Basically, it’s an HTC 10 with bigger 5.5″ display and some cut-down on specs, while still remaining a beast. Check out the specs below.
Update [October 22, 2016]: New rumors give the HTC Bolt a name, an official name that the devic ewill known to consumer, and a solid name we must say. The HTC Bolt could launch as HTC 10 Evo, banking on the goodwill of both the HTC 10 and HTC Evo sets from long ago which has some good reputation back then. Do we like the new name, HTC 10 Evo, well we do. What about you? The news comes from Evleaks, one of the most trusted source of news as you could find.
BTW, what’s more intriguing to know is why the comeback of Evo brand? Does it have a special camera, or new connectivity feature that Evo 4G was known for. Or simply the return of the kickstand? The specs leaked till date don’t highlight any very distinguishing feature that would warrant the Evo tag, so let’s see how this all shapes up.
Update [October 19, 2016]: We just spotted the HTC Bolt say hello to certain US certification agency, FCC, which means the device in entering final round of approval and testing. Here’s its document found at FCC’s site.
Also known by its codename HTC Acadia, rumors today have the processor and display specs identified for the HTC Bolt. You must have already seen it in pics leak earlier, so now is the good time for some specs leak, right?
First up, it’s being said that the HTC Bolt would be house a Snapdragon 810 processor — Galaxy S6, One M9 fame! — the very processor that was equipped in flagship devices of last year.
Next, you get a Quad HD display here, on the screen size of 5.5″, measure diagonally.
From the first looks, it seems clear that HTC Bolt isn’t a mid-ranger. It may live in the price bracket right below the HTC’s current flagship, the 10.
