Rumored HTC Verizon phablet may land soon, with 1080p screen and 1.5GHz Snapdragon

[![Rumored HTC Verizon phablet may land soon with 1080p screen, 15GHz Snapdragon S4][1] ][2]

[Samsung][3] and [LG][4] have already embraced the tiny-tablet form factor. It only makes sense that [HTC][5] would want to carve out a niche of this niche for themselves. Rumors of a five-inch HTC device have been circulating for some time, but now a report from _DigiTimes_ is lending some credence to those murmurings, and a mysterious handset from the Taiwanese manufacturer has popped up over at _GLBenchmark_. According to unnamed sources the company has been working on a flagship level (One XXL?) device with a stunning 1794 x 1080, due to be released in either September or October. If you're taking that claim with a grain of salt, we don't blame you. But, an entry for the HTC 6435LVW that just popped up at _GLBenchmark.com_ seems to fit the billy pretty nicely. It has the same listed resolution, which we assume is actually a 1920 x 1080 panel with room set aside for Android's soft keys. The device info has it running ICS, version 4.0.4 to be specific, on a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 -- which should make it quite the powerful piece of hardware. The software build also singles it out as a Verizon handset, which means it'll be packing an LTE radio as well. Whether the rumored stylus is included, a la the [Flyer][6], remains to be seen, but, we shouldn't have to wait much longer to find out for sure.
