14 DAY TRIAL // HTC Leo, the next Windows Mobile 6.5 device Taiwanese mobile phone maker HTC Corporation is reportedly working on delivering to the market, has just emerged in a new series of images, bringing a few more details on its supposed launch date as well. The new photos seem to come directly from a beta tester of the device, who published them on XDA-Developers.
The first thing that strikes anyone who sees the photos is the HTC Pro.Three name that can be spotted on the handset's back, suggesting that the rumors regarding this name for the Leo might prove real in the end. The specification list of the phone has been showed already a few times before, and there is no point in walking through it once again, yet we should mention a series of details that the tester has unveiled to the world, such as the fact that Leo's photo snapper is able to record videos in VGA resolution, or that the auto focus feature of the camera seems to be a speedy one.
Other tidbits of info include a good impression made by the handset's battery. Although the HTC Leo comes to the market with an impressive capacitive touchscreen display, it seems that the battery can withstand about a day and a half of heavy usage, which would include, as WMPoweruser points out, having the 3G on at all times, watching videos for an hour, 2 hours of music listening and a web browsing session of about an hour.
Other details on the phone that have been unveiled include the fact that HTC Leo will come with USB Host. At the same time, the tester also states that the handset's build is a high-quality one, and that the battery cover is made out of metal. We should expect for the Windows Mobile 6.5-based device to come to the market sometime at the end of November or in early December it seems, which means that an official announcement should be made in the near future. In the meantime, take a look at the new images with HTC Leo that came to light thanks to the aforementioned beta tester.
