The guys over at Droid Life have managed to get their hands on some photos of the new HTC Thunderbolt, which will be the first 4G LTE smartphone on Verizon. It is scheduled to be announced next week at CES 2011.
As you can see from the photos, the HTC Thunderbolt looks exactly like the Desire HD, so we are expecting the specifications to be very similar when it is officially announced.
Anticipated Specifications and Features
The HTC Thunderbolt is expected to come with a range of impressive features that will make it a strong contender in the smartphone market. Given its resemblance to the Desire HD, we can anticipate a similar hardware configuration. The Desire HD is known for its 4.3-inch LCD display, 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, 768 MB of RAM, and an 8-megapixel camera. If the Thunderbolt follows suit, it will likely include these high-end specifications, making it a powerful device for both everyday use and more demanding applications.
One of the most exciting aspects of the HTC Thunderbolt is its 4G LTE capability. This will be the first smartphone on Verizon’s network to support this technology, promising significantly faster data speeds compared to 3G. This means quicker downloads, smoother streaming, and an overall more responsive internet experience. For users who rely heavily on their smartphones for browsing, streaming, and downloading, the Thunderbolt could be a game-changer.
Design and Build Quality
In terms of design, the HTC Thunderbolt appears to maintain the sleek and robust build quality that HTC is known for. The device’s form factor is expected to be similar to the Desire HD, which features a unibody aluminum design that not only looks premium but also provides durability. The Thunderbolt is likely to include a kickstand, a feature that was popularized by the HTC EVO 4G, allowing users to prop up their device for hands-free viewing of videos and other media.
The user interface is expected to be HTC’s Sense UI, which offers a range of customization options and intuitive features that enhance the Android experience. Sense UI is known for its user-friendly design, with features like customizable home screens, widgets, and a range of pre-installed apps that add to the overall functionality of the device.
As soon as we get full specifications and some more details on the new HTC Thunderbolt, we will let you guys know. The anticipation for this device is high, and it will be interesting to see how it performs in the market, especially with the added advantage of 4G LTE connectivity.
