The HTC Z4 and Nokia Rivendale codenames have emerged via Twitter sources
HTC Z4 and Nokia Rivendale codenames have leaked on Twitter suggesting forthcoming models.
The codenames emerged via trusted Twitter source @evleaks, which also mentioned an Amazon GLP70, Lenovo Aupres and Lenovo Snoopy. The Twitter tipster did not cite where this information came from, though we suspect it’s probably out of the Asian supply network.
Nokia is believed to be preparing a follow-up model to its recently launched Lumia 1020, though this is thought to be a device tied into a US-facing deal with network AT&T, based on comments made by Nokia chief Stephen Elop at the New York launch.
However, as this is the only known reference to the device, this does not necessarily rule out the possibility that a global edition of whatever it is, might also be in the offing.
The HTC Z4 designation is interesting. Previously the company’s flagship, the HTC One, was first spotted with the codename ‘M7’, while the newly launched HTC One Mini emerged earlier as the ‘M4’. This is the first mention of any device using the Z prefix, but the fact that it is Z4 could possibly imply it is a miniaturised version of another model also in development. Could there be an HTC Z7 too? HTC’s rumoured phablet, the HTC One Max, is associated with the codename T6.
What would we like to see? Well, if you consider that HTC made a big deal out of its Ultrapixel camera technology we’re wondering if it’s ramping that up a notch or two, what with Nokia’s Lumia 1020 and Lumia 925, as well as the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom running around changing everyone’s perceptions of what a camera phone should be like.
As you can see in our HTC One review, we thought the camera tech was impressive, but did wonder what the same approach might yield on an 8-megapixel sensor instead of a 4.3-megapixel setup. Go on HTC, show us how its done.
