HTC Ville Ice Cream Sandwich phone set to Feb, 2012

Another upcoming HTC smartphone has apparently been revealed, the HTV Ville, a 4.3-inch qHD handset running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipset. The Ville will also include HTC Sense 4.0, the company refreshed UI, and include an 8-megapixel camera with a backside-illuminated sensor and support for up to 1080p HD video recording.

There is also said to be HSPA+ and Beats Audio, along with a 1,650 mAh battery. That is all inside a chassis tipped to be less than 8mm thick, though there is apparently no NFC support because of HTC decision to use an all-metal casing.

The HTC Ville will apparently be unveiled officially under a different name, Ville being just a codename at Mobile World Congress in February 2012, alongside the HTC Edge, with a commercial release expected in April. Rumors earlier today suggested that the Edge which is tipped to run NVIDIA newTegra 3 processor and have a 4.7-inch display.
