HTC Leo rendered again — maybe by HTC, more likely by fans

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

So here’s what we know about the Leo with some certainty: it’s going to be awesomely high-end. Other than that, though, the sky’s the limit; no spec is too wild, no physical design too outlandish until we actually get some official information (or at least some really solid leaks). We wouldn’t call these latest renders “solid” by any stretch — in fact, we’re willing to bet it’s the result of a daydreamer with some graphic design background — but we want to believe, especially since the front is basically consistent with what we’ve seen previously. Imagine a rounded-off Touch HD with WinMo 6.5, a 1GHz Snapdragon, and a 5 megapixel cam accompanied by two high-output LEDs. We love the stylish “Pro.Three” branding (and we guess we’re going to forgive the “lorem ipsum” gibberish beneath it since this is a rough, unbranded render), but there are a few holes in this story: for one, we still don’t know how this dovetails with Firestone; two, the Touch Pro2 just came out, so we’re not sure why they’d release a device with the conflicting “Pro.Three” name so soon thereafter, particularly in a different form factor; and three, this might make more sense as one of HTC’s inaugural WinMo 7 devices. Given the rumored pie-in-the-sky October availability date, we’ll get this sorted out soon enough.
