So S3.5?

Anyway, maybe the method that got Rezound users like myself S-OFF can get I4GLTE users theirs, such a clever method at that.

To graymonkey44, you misinterpreted the article. As nitsuj17 said, they were saying that it's not the same chip. It's still an S4.

To nitsuj17, it definitely won't have the msm 8930 that you suspected, since that has the Adreno 305 GPU which won't even be released until Q3

So the exact chip is still a little fuzzy. The only S4 chip that really seems to match is the 8960, but that doesn't come in 1.2GHz and an HTC rep has said it's not underclocked. So it seems like the possibilities are:

• It's the 1.2GHz 8930 featuring the faster Adreno 305 GPU that wont be released until Q3
• Verizon/HTC somehow, and for reasons unknown, managed to get Qualcomm to custom make a special 1.2GHz S4 with the Adreno 225 GPU and LTE.
• The HTC rep that said it's not underclocked was either lying or mistaken, and it is in fact the 8960 underclocked to 1.2GHz.

Personally, I think that last one is the most plausible, but who knows.

Ooooh! If it is the last one, then we could potentially overclock it (kill battery life, of course ) and get the same performance or even better than the One X due to the lower resolution!!! Oh! My God! I just had a nerdgasm!!!

I can confirm it has a 220 gpu. Even underclass to what it is though it's very fast and smooth

pics or it didn't happen, lol

Benchmarks will tell the tale. There is currently no documentation stating what it has exactly.

either hes a verizon/htc tester or has early access to a production device

Or some journalist was able to install and run the quadrant benchmark at CTIA... who knows!

Well, as per this link:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/T-Mob...period_id28877

This score certainly isn't up to snuff with the One S. However, it is important to note that there is a 300MHz clock difference and the 3d scores are very similar. 1954 vs 2173, a gap like that might be influenced by clock speed. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that it has the 225 just yet.

Edit: Actually it might be the 220 because the rezound scores very similarly.

Things just keep getting worse for this guy.
