5-inch HTC DLX with 1080p HD display reportedly headed straight to Verizon Wireless

For those of you on Verizon Wireless craving a 5-inch device from HTC, you’re appetite may be soon fulfilled. Android Central has leaked photos of the HTC DLX (pronounced deluxe) this weekend, which packs a 1080p HD display, 16GB of onboard storage, 2GB of RAM, 4G LTE, Beats audio, and a similar feel to the Droid Incredible 2.  The HTC DLX’s specs were previously leaked by  HTC insider “Football4PDA” who claimed the device packs a Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5GHz processor, 16GB of on-board storage, 12-megapixel back-camera, 2-megapixel front-camera, and a 2500mAh (non-removable) battery. Phil Nickinson of Android Central agrees with what looks to be everything Football4PDA claims, except for the 12-megapixel camera. AC is claiming an 8-megapixel on-board.

There is no official word from the folks at Verizon Wireless or HTC, but a launch before the holidays (perhaps even before Thanksgiving) seems likely. This will be HTC’s first jump with a larger device on VZW, as for some reason the carrier has chosen to stick with smaller devices from HTC, historically. However, that notion looks to be changing.
