Good idea. But please include sources (for the ones you listed above: http://newbestgadget.com/news/htc-zenith-htc-rio-and-htc-accord-specs-and-features) espacially if it's still a rumor (don't whether htc officaly announced the ones you listed)

Probably, the HTC Leo (HD2)
Hope

Samsung Focus S(2)3

HTC HD7

If the HTC Rio will run WP8, theres the possibility that all existing WP7 smartphones can also run wp8. Almost the same ****ing hardware specs(it only has 1ghz dualcore, but only 512 mb ram)! Is Microsoft ****ing kidding me?!
*srry for my bad language*

Calm with your spaz attack, lol.

I'm waiting for the Nokia PureView with Windows Phone 8 on it which is due in Q4.

More Info Please
could you update the post with more info, im interested in the Zenith HTC

I'd be tempted by the Focus S2 if it's basically the Galaxy Note 2 with Windows Phone 8 on it. But a Nokia handset with Pureview and WP8 would be rapturous!

Ill say it again.. I WANT the Dell Wrigley with W8.. the prototype pics looked great and I love my DVP.. I will be happy with 7.8 on my DVP until another Portrait Keyboard style phone shows up.

HTC

As of this writing there is no definite HTC model yet. as usual HTC may rename the device during the launch. It could be HTC Zenith or HTC Edge whatever. It would definitely come with Quad-Core processor, Snapdragon by QualComm or the quad-core Tegra 3 by Nvidia. OMG! a 4.7" screen playing 4 video files simultaneously with 1.5 GHz speed in each.
Chipsets and gadgets companies are selling high-end products with just a very little functionality offered at the moment.

MS is definitely releasing own windows phone 8 hardware. I have confirmation from my source, that tells me it will be coming out in the fall, and it is similar size to iphone / Droid Inc.

Will be an offficial update for the HD2? Or nly through custom roms we wil run windows 8

I think that Nokia Belle 805 needs to be off the list, since Belle refers to a version of Symbian.

Just another spec packed mostrum but this time with wp7. Well, we'll see if a quad is useful. Up to now, I've not yet got the point...

There will never be an official update for our beloved hd2. Even WP7 was (is!) inofficial. I'm pretty sure that our hd2 will get at least wp 7.8 and maybe wp 8 (but only when the other first gen receive wp8 custom roms as well)

I have my phone nokia lumia 900 within 2 weeks returned to the store that could still because it was within 2 weeks.
Was very disappointed because he did not get to update WP8.
I could exchange it for a WP8 phone if they are in store

I heard and hope it is true 802.11ac will be on the new Windows 8 phones coming for the November sales season.

[PETITION] [MIUI 9] [Nougat] [Discussion]

Originally by Gohil Mitul @miuiforum
http://en.miui.com/thread-570444-1-1.html
Redmi Note 3 is one gem of device.
It is #1 selling and higest sold device of Xiaomi in india with 3 Millions sales in India.
It has over 7 Million users worldwide.
Still it hasn't been received miui nougat ,that's really shame upon miui to do with that kind of epic device, even mido has not that frequent activities on XDA like we have.
Petition :-
https://www.change.org/p/lei-jun-redmi-note-3-nougat
Currently ,there are 5.4k something supporters it has on change.org.
So guys ,who don't have yet signed this petition on change.org ,just go and show the level of kenzo users.
Please share your views on this below.

No matter how much petition we sign, xiaomi never never give updates to old handsets.
Only one generation is given never second.
It's their marketing strategy.
You want updated OS and new features (split screen), buy our new handset.
This is there policy.

Guyz, this isn't gonna work at all... Xiaomi already released their next flagship note 5....also its 2 years old device and usually OEMs offer one major upgrade for mid range devices which itself is great... But dont worry, till mi max gets updated, we have miui rom always..

No Android P beta for Oneplus 5t, the existing flagship of OnePlus

For the first time Google, Android P's latest beta will be available on non pixel / Nexus devices including OnePlus 6, Essential PH-1, Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, Sony Xperia XZ2, Nokia 7 Plus, Oppo R15 Pro, and Vivo X21.
I immediately jumped to get my 5T signed up, only to face disappointment.
Android P beta for OnePlus 5t was skipped and the same was available only for yet to launch OnePlus 6.
Lately I have got a feeling that OnePlus has shifted their interest from consumer focused company to buiness oriented company who are more concerned about thier new flagship and less concerned about thier previous users.
The unofficial treble support was provided to our device by the hardworking developers of OnePlus community but OnePlus did not make any efforts to provide the same.
The OnePlus community should send a strong message to the company that they should not make the old coustmers feel left out.
We should pass following message to OnePlus:-
a) Providing official treble support to 5 and 5t.
b) Providing the lastest Android version along with their new flagship phones.( Which will be possible if support for project treble is available).
c) Providing all the exlusive upcoming features to previous generation phones (5 & 5t) till the time hardware permits.

A) That is not going to happen. But Mokee ported Treble so hopefully an P Beta port will come to 5T at some point.
C) This is OnePlus we're talking about, I doubt they will.
I really don't think they care about the community anymore.

I thought OnePlus had quietly prepared the 5T for Treble by creating an empty Vendor partition in the background? It's not formatted yet, and OOS doesn't see it, but it's there?
I'm unhappy too, that they didn't use the 5T for their P beta, but if they provided the official base for Treble, then maybe we'll still see something from them or at least it will be easier for the XDA Devs...

A) If we push.. all of us.. we might stand a chance.
C) Exactly

As I commented in the news.
Quote Google: "beta available TODAY from those OEMs".
The "today" tricked me into thinking that this would be my beloved 5t but Oneplus let Google speak about an even unannounced device just to get in that damn presentation.
In other words: Oneplus doesn't even care about their existing flagship the moment they know the rough release date for their next one. This is beyond everything I have ever seen in the smartphone business. At the same time advertising heavily the OP5t on Amazon to get one of the last ones.
Oneplus was never a community focused company they just said it so often that the people thought it would be so.
HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!

As far as I can see this whole Situation; we will get a taste of Android P anyway. Either officially or non official.
Official: because there in fact is an unused Partition (unformatted)
Unofficial: because hobby dev peeps around the globe were able to make the oneplus 5t Support treble.. therefore custom Rom creators should be able to create Android P roms for it.

Are y'all really surprised that we wouldn't get a P beta? Lol

Yes I'm in. Let's make a petition on change.org ?

Many people said of the oneplus 5t, it's the best against essencial phone... Better software, updates, design... But Essencial phone 1 have the beta xD
Now who is the best ??
I have a 5t

Android P require treble ?

I know this won't go down well, but did none of you do your homework on OnePlus before buying the 5t? OnePlus launch a new, replacement device every six months and concentrate on marketing and selling that; Every six months our new (to us) device gets moved to the back burner.
This is not a new strategy, and should not come as a surprise! Google how OnePlus 2 owners felt! I owned a 3t that was virtually obsolete four months later!
And every time this happens - every six months when a new device is launched - there is a thread on XDA to petition OnePlus about the unfairness of it all!
If this news is a surprise to anyone you should've been more aware of how the company operates.
Rant over.

Really dont't care for stock android p beta.
Much prefer for oxygen beta program with android P
Stock android is very poor and lack customization and feature option that oxygen offer.
If i want stock android experiance better solution is AOSP custom rom with plenty of feature and customization insteed of totaly naked stock android by Google IMO.

So we get OOS beta based on P later. (OP6 get first.)

I'm guessing we're still getting Treble support. There already is a /vendor partition created in one of the Beta updates iirc and they said: "Something exciting for you OnePlus 5/5T owners later this summer". So i'm guessing they're referring to Treble support.

Yh one does not always remember the exact words. P requires Treble we do not have Treble hence why we don't get it yet. If you really want it install MoKee ROM which enables Treble and wait for an Android P GSI.

Everyone should stop acting like treble is a hardware based thing.
The only reasons we did not get the beta is that Oneplus 1. is too lazy to deliver 2. wants to boost OP6 sales.
Treble is something completely software based and can be added at any given time (even without bricking the device).
I think the real reason we are complaining is (like the title says) that Oneplus is announcing stuff for a device that isn't even on sale yet.
It's like Google would have said "...and of course Pixel 3 is getting the beta from day one. We are already testing it internally and it is working great. In the meantime we are all very happy that you bought Pixel 2".

Not surprising from OnePlus. Unfortunately, they only seem to be concerned with what's the best way to make more money even if it involves abandoning their current users. This move, like all the moves they make, is about money. Doesn't matter if they ignore their current flagship device or users. Sad but true.
