We have absolutely no idea what this is: it could be a phone; a tablet…or even not actually exist? Either way, it looks like HTC could finally be bringing out the big guns, as these benchmarks show something quite breathtaking: a device faster than a Galaxy S III.
With nothing but a codename consisting of letters and digits, the ‘HTC 6435LVW’ has popped up on the GLBenchmark site’s Community Uploads, scoring a whopping 121 FPS in the Egypt Offscreen 720p test. In comparison, that’s over double than the HTC One X, and around 20 per cent higher than the current top dog, the Galaxy S III.
The benchmark listing has also got some specs attached: it’s running Ice Cream Sandwich, looks like it’s attached to the American network Verizon and has a hefty 1794 x 1080 screen resolution. It’s also packing a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960 which means it’s definitely no slouch. So what the hell is this? And where can we get it? Here’s hoping HTC spills the juicy deets soon.

Shame it’ll probably be horribly hampered by Sense. The OneX could have been so much better…
HTC Flyer mk2?
HTC Wildfire HD?
HTC One X squared?
HTC One Pie?
HTC Πr² – the world first circular tablet, designed not to infringe on any of Apples bullshit patents on the rectangle.
The resolution means it’s probably a tablet – there’s no point putting anything more than a 720 screen on a phone.
Tell that to these guys

If that screen ever appears on a consumer product I’ll do a Herzog and eat my shoe.
Well whatever it is, it’s got no physical buttons, so it’s following the Galaxy Nexus in terms of interface.
The 1794px dimension corresponds 1920px less the 126px for the menu buttons, which scales up from the 84px used on the Galaxy Nexus.
What I’ve never actually managed to ascertain, is whether that when using an app full screen (say a video) on the Galaxy Nexus, is whether the navigation buttons are hidden from view, or still present.
When you use video, they fade out (so as not to distract from the screen, but are still there.
So still taking up a portion of the screen real estate?
Which would mean that despite having a 1280×720 screen, you can’t actually watch 720p content at full res?
The same would apply to this mythical device and 1080p
