The house has a Taiwanese phablet and announces (without show it), the successor to the One. Then ruin everything by launching an app that allows you to share the computing power of your processor. Wait, WHAT?

On stage
CEO, Peter Chou: “Good design is not just about beauty, but also user experience, the combination of hardware and software. Innovation means creating something new. People are happy when it has to do with beautiful things, especially if they are beautiful. ” And here’s jump out of the pocket ‘ HTC Desire 816.

the first details: screen HD720 5.5 “ quad-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.6 GHz 400 with 1.5 GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory expandable up to an additional 128GB via microSD. The battery is 2600 mAh. 4G/LTE connectivity.
Other equipment: Front stereo speaker with BoomSound and, of course, updated interface Sense 5.5 with Blinkfeed and Zoe. The camera is 13 megapixels with back-illuminated sensor and f/2.2 aperture: it can shoot video in full HD at 1080p, as well as the 5 megapixel front camera, which also has the wide angle. “Perfect for selfie” .
816 HTC Desire arrives in March to 399 € – initially in Europe.
It goes fast, too well. Back on stage to announce HTC Cher Wang “Power to give” , a social awareness campaign, says Wang. Onstage Professor Gianni de Fabritiis to explain it: from what I understand – while it is charging, through the dedicated application – your phone can share a part of its computing capacity. A sort of Internet of Smartphones? Continue De Fabritiis: “The campaign HTC allows you to use your processor to achieve the research objectives that need to be processed very powerful machines.”
Or am I missing something, or Taiwan for the voice of a certain DataGate never arrived: it does not seem appropriate to ask the historical moment to share your smartphone on trust. Perhaps best explained with a campaign. But today, the explanation seems over here, I do not think anyone in the room has really understood what we were talking about. Of course I did not.
are back on stage CEO and Chairman, closes the presentation, all at home. I am puzzled.
Update: the phone is not available here and at the Centre of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona – venue – are exposed only three shells do not work (and you can not touch) and one under glass with a demonstration video that runs to no avail.
I find the statement of the existence of a Desire 610 , which was not even nominated: mid-range phone, the screen has qHD 4.7 “, dual-core processor by Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 1.2 GHz, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory, expandable via microSD up to an additional 128GB. Confirmed interface with HTC Sense 5 Blinkfeed .
Among the multimedia facilities, the front stereo speaker (just like the 816) and the BoomSound technology, the camera is 8 megapixels with f/2.4 aperture, capable of gure video in Full HD 1080p. The front camera is 1.3 megapixel capable of shooting 720p HD video. The battery finally is 2040 mAh.
Update 2: we discovered something more on the app “Power to give” . The initiative aims to build a supercomputer using the computing power of mobile is not in use, by sending packets of data to be processed and sent back to the sender automatically. The project was developed in collaboration with Professor David Anderson of the University of Berkeley and will initially be used to study cancer, AIDS and Alzheimer’s. We are in the field of distributed computing, but too naive explanation that was given did not convince anyone, there is still the issue of machines that automatically connects to your smartphone that is gentle enough to be announced in 4 minutes without any details. We will be back on as soon as possible.
