Alleged HTC One M9 Plus wallpaper points at QHD display

Alleged wallpaper captured from HTC One M9 Plus seemingly confirms that the device will pack a QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) display. The Android powerhouse is expected to debut in less than a week in Barcelona alongside HTC One M9.

At 2880 x 2560 pixels, the image above points at a scrollable QHD wallpaper. Less than a week ago, a wallpaper from HTC One M9 with 2160 x 1920 pixels leaked out from the same source.

Rumored specs of HTC One M9 Plus include Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset, 3GB of RAM, 5.5” QHD display, 20.7MP camera, and Android 5.0 Lollipop. A leaked press image from last month points at fingerprint scanner as well.

Leaked doc points to QHD screen on the LG G4

There are two rumors about the LG G4 – one claims a 3K display, another claims a QHD one (what some might call 2.5K). A third piece of evidence swings the vote in favor of QHD, this comes from a leaked XML file extracted from a Lollipop ROM.

The file lists the LG F500 as "G4 (QHD)." It has three versions (S, K and L), which correspond to the three major carriers in South Korea. The LG G3 is F400 with the same three versions. To clear up initialism "QHD" stands for 1,440 x 2,560px while "3K" is 1,62 x 2,880px.

This entry is surrounded by the LG F490 (LG G3 Screen) and LG F510 (LG G Flex 2), both with FullHD resolution, which corresponds to the official specs.

A fourth, unknown device "LG F540" will have an HD screen (that's 720p). It's not clear what this is, it doesn’t correspond to LG G mini numbers, but the LG Aka has a model number of F520, which has a 5" 720p screen.

Anyway, this leaves the question of the 3K screen on the LG VS999, a Verizon phone according to the model name. This may be a bespoke version for the carrier, AT&T's version will have a QHD display (1,440 x 2,560px). Either way, we won't see them at the MWC, the G4 announcement is expected later this year.

Alleged QHD Lumia 2520 successor surfaces in GFXBench

The popular testing application GFXBench has long been a plentiful, albeit often confusing source of hardware leaks for new devices. This is precisely the case with a recently revealed tablet specs sheet. The information cited on the website seems to revel a rather powerful new piece of hardware with a 10.1-ich screen putting it squarely in tablet territory, and a QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution.

The rumor mill leads us to believe that this is a future successor to the Lumia 2520, but something in the specs sheet just doesn't add up. The GPU in the report is announced as Qualcomm Adreno 420, which is found in the Snapdragon 805 SoC. This is all fine, but the problem is the OS of the device is listed as Windows and this most probably refers to Windows 10.

Microsoft has really been pitching its new One Windows strategy lately and it comes as no surprise that a new line of powerful hardware is required to really allow the now OS version to take off once it hits consumer markets. One of the pressing questions that were recently answered about Windows 10 is how it will behave on smaller devices.
