Qualcomm hinted that one of its new 64-bit processors would hit an Android device in late 2014 or early 2015, but it didn’t say which lucky manufacturers would use them. In early August, well-known leaker @upleaks posted a series of tweets, hinting that HTC will soon release a mid-range smartphone with one of Qualcomm’s 64-bit processors under the hood.

The device, code-named the HTC A11, supposedly features the 64-bit Snapdragon410 MSM8916 processor, which clocks in at 1.4GHz. It’s expected to be a variant of the existing Desire lineup and comes with other modest specs: a 4.7-inch display with a super low resolution of 854 x 480 pixels, ordinary speakers without Boom Sound, and low-res cameras. The back camera will only be a 5-megapixel shooter and the front-facing camera will only be 0.3-megapixels.

The A11 also looks more low end, with a shiny plastic back and rather plain design. It stands in obvious contrast to the high-end HTC One M8, which has a metal back and premium look to it. 

The A11 will supposedly run Android 4.4.2 with HTC’s Sense 6 interface layered on top. The tipster hinted that HTC may release the A11 at Sprint, where it will undoubtedly come at a low price to match the modest specs. It’s unclear when the new Desire smartphone will launch and if it will arrive in other markets.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
