T-Mobile to get HTC Supersonic with Android 3.0 with Nvidia’s Tegra Chipset
January 23, 2010 12 Comments
A screen shot of a purported new HTC phone named Supersonic is headed to T-Mobile. According to BGR, a screen shot sent to them anonymously shows a firmware of Android 3.0 and shows the carrier being T-Mobile. Not much else is known of the device but we can say that T-Mobile has been the go-to carrier of choice for Android handsets (probably because they are the nicest and easiest carrier to work with when releasing new devices).
T-Mobile has five Android handsets in their line up so far: HTC G1, HTC myTouch, Motorola CLIQ and Samsung Behold II and of course Google’s Nexus One, making them the leading carrier of Android handsets. The launch date and specs of the latest Android handset built by HTC are not known, but if the firmware gives us any indication, this could possible be another device running a Snapdragon processor or perhaps this could very well be the first phone on Nvidia’s Tegra powered platform. Why you ask? Simply because evidence supports this possibility due to ICD’s Tegra tablet “Vega”, a 15-inch Android-based tablet, which was finally announced and is headed to T-Mobile UK. Also, in an interview with the TheStreet.com, Mike Rayfield, the general manager of Nvidia’s mobile unit said the we can expect “the company’s Tegra chip to debut in a phone from one of the top five cell-phone makers”. Although this reported to be in Q4 of 2009, the evidence is still clear that a new handset will be coming out soon.
Some reports have estimated the following specifications:
- an APX 2500 or 2600 chipset which could provide significantly accelerated 3D and decode 720p video
- 25 days of music or 10-hours of 1080p video playback on a single charge
- video games play at up to 46 frames per second
- GPU accelerated Adobe Flash animations
- always-on processors for instant access to the network
- 3G, WiFi, and WiMax solutions support
- to includes an HDMI port
The possibility of an HTC built, Tegra powered device running Android 3.0 is stunning and very likely, but we’ll just have to wait and see, once again.

I’ll take two please!
is this possible? If so, this would be the real Google superphone.
Great article. There’s a lot of good info here, though I did want to let you know something – I am running Fedora with the up-to-date beta of Firefox, and the layout of your blog is kind of bizarre for me. I can read the articles, but the navigation doesn’t function so good.
Hey I just wanted to let you know, I really like the writing on your web site. But I am using Firefox on a machine running version 9.10 of Xubuntu and the design aren’t quite satisfying. Not a strong deal, I can still basically read the articles and search for information, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of challenging to use with the config I’m running. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for writing about this. There’s a heap of important tech info on the internet. You’ve got a lot of that info here on your website. I’m impressed – I try to keep a couple blogs fairly up-to-date, but it’s a struggle sometimes. You’ve done a solid job with this one. How do you do it?
What is captcha code?, pls provide me captcha code codes or plugin, Thanks in advance.
I don’t usually reply to posts but I will in this case. WoW
One important thing I enjoy about website blogs is the fact that they trigger a thought in my brain. Once that happens, I feel like I have to comment expecting it is useful to some people. For the reason that there are various weblogs with many different points of view, they encourage your understanding. It’s at these occasions when you have useful insignt others may not have had, especially the blogger him/herself. I find myself returning to your web-site because you have several awesome insights and you are already at this a long time, which is very impressive and tells me you know your stuff. Keep triggering imagination in others!
Amazing post, I am a big believer in leaving comments on blogs and forums to allow the blog writers know that they’ve created something of value to the internet!
Wow! Thank you! I constantly wanted to write in my web site some thing like that. Can I take component of your respective send to my web site?
Hey, i came across your website on google and i think it’s cool!
A little off the subject maybe, but a plea for you to think about the ethics of purchasing items like designer clothes. Do try and think about, for example, the things your product is made from, the human rights of the employees where they’re manufactured and the green credentials of retailers. Oh, and try to share instead of discarding. Thanks!!!!
