HTC may be looking to trim down on delivering numerous smartphones every year but they're still not shying away from the mid-end market. The "Primo" is rendered above and is said to be sporting a 3.7-inch Gorilla Glass display, a 5MP camera, 512MB of RAM, a dual-core 1GHz Qualcomm CPU, Beats Audio, and Android 4.0 with the Sense UI. The smartphone could be getting official at MWC next month but we'll just have to see what happens.

3D may be overhyped but some people are buying into the trend. And, that's why we're seeing what we see above. Reportedly, LG's working on a successor to their Optimus 3D smartphone. Right now it's being codenamed the "CX2" and it should be improved in every aspect. This one's said to be packing a dual-core 1.2GHz TI CPU and a slightly improved 4.3-inch 3D display. The body is said to be 2mm thinner (just 10mm now) and the rest of the specs are said to be 8GB of storage, WiFi b/g/n support, NFC, Bluetooth 3.0 support, and HSPA connectivity. It's unknown what version of Android it'll be running but it may make an appearance at MWC which takes place next month.

Now here's a smartphone that should give Samsung's Galaxy S III a run for its money. It's the LG "X3" which is said to be packing a 4.7-inch display with a 1,280 x 720 resolution, a quad-core Tegra 3 CPU, and some version of Android (possibly 4.0). The smartphone is apparently set for a late Spring or early Summer release date so we could see it unveiled next month at MWC.

This is said to be the company's next flagship device and it looks pretty great. Specs include a 9mm thin body, an 8MP camera, a front-facing 1.3MP camera, 16GB of storage, a microSD card slot, WiFi b/g/n support, HSPA connectivity, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, and a 2,000mAh battery. Look out for this one to be announced next month!

PocketNow has managed to snag a photo of the rumoured HTC Quattro which will be packing Nvidia's quad-core Tegra 3 chip. This tablet could be officially unveiled at CES or MWC which take place in early 2012. The tablet is said to feature a 10.1-inch display with a 1,280 x 768 resolution, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a microSD card slot, WiFi / Bluetooth 4.0 support, a 2MP rear-facing camera, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, Beats Audio, the Android OS, and possibly includes stylus support. The tablet should be available in early 2012 in WiFi-only and 3G models so you can look out for it in a few months.

Coming from DigiTimes is word that HTC is prepping a quad-core tablet and smartphone for early 2012. Apparently, they could be unveiling both at MWC 2012, which kicks off on February 27th. They should both be running the Android OS and it could have Nvidia's Tegra 3 chip inside of them - or possibly even Qualcomm's. The tablet is completely unknown right now but the smartphone could be the HTC "Edge" and the company is planning to release another Android smartphone which could turn out to be the "Ville". I'm definitely looking forward to this announcement!
