HTC tablet rumors erupted today thanks to some recently discovered benchmark tests. Speculation now is that HTC has a new Quad-Core tablet in the works and the name everyone is giving it is Vertex.
What You Need To Know:
- The unit tested has a 1.3GHz NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor and 10.1 inch screen with 1280 x 752 resolution.
- Additional speculation suggests a 2-megapixel rear-facing camera, a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 4.0 and Beats Audio support.
- It runs Android 4.0 (and probably Sense 4.0 UI).
- Rumblings of this model first appeared in late 2011 and at some point it was called the HTC Quattro.
