While we’ve already spent precious quality time with the HTC Desire 601, we still weren’t sure where exactly this mid-range smartphone would be available. Well, if this FCC listing is any indication, it could be arriving stateside some time soon, and with Sprint’s LTE bands in tow. The documents show a HTC handset with the 601’s “Zara” codename in the build number (as seen above) as well as support for LTE band 25, which seemingly points it in the Now Network’s direction. This also lends credence to an @evleaks tweet posted two weeks ago that claimed the Desire 601 was headed to Virgin Mobile, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprint. Other tidbits revealed from the FCC filing include Android 4.2.2 as the firmware and features such as WiFi, Bluetooth and NFC, most of which we already knew. Alas, we don’t yet know the pricing and availability of the device, but we’re guessing it’ll show up any day now. In the meantime, treat yourselves to our in-depth hands-on to see if it’s worth the wait.

Will there be any more set top boxes that are going to be arriving in the market later this year? The correct answer would be a resounding yes, and that would also mean that the Roku 3 is not going to be one lonely camper after all. There is an unannounced Roku 2700X that has just dropped into the hands of the FCC for approval, and the filing alone does point to a streaming hub which has its fair share of curves, similar in nature to the Roku 3. The thing is, this particular FCC puppy remains limited to single-band, that is 2.4GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi.

When you merge that particular specification with the rather low model number (the Roku 3 happens to be the 4200X), it can easily be guessed that the upcoming Roku 2700X is rather low down in the pecking order, so this would be the entry level device that will be based on Roku’s more recent design language. The company’s confidentiality request to the FCC is said to expire sometime within the coming 3 months, and that would mean that the Roku 2700X should be set to roll out in the market pretty soon. Just how much do you think it will cost when it finally hits the market?

There are a couple of Nokia devices in the works that have yet to be announced. One of them is allegedly that of the RM-927 whose final make and model remains unknown, but interestingly enough the device has decided to stop by the FCC where its dimensions and additional details have been revealed. The device’s final image and full specifications remain unknown at this point in time, although based on the FCC filing, it did sport radio frequencies that could be used on Verizon’s network, indicating that this device could at the very least be destined for Verizon.

Other specifications revealed the handset’s dimensions and this includes dimensions that make it around the same size as the Lumia 625 (133.25×72.23×9.15mm), indicating that the device is not the rumored Lumia 1520 whose dimensions are obviously bigger. The RM-927 is also expected to sport a 1280×720 display instead of a Full HD one. What this means is that this device could be announced either before the GDR3 update, or if it is announced after, it could be sold as a mid-ranged Lumia handset. Hopefully more info will surface at a later date, so check back with us for the details.

New FCC documents spotted by Phone Scoop have given us a closer look at what could be LG’s rumored Nexus 5 handset. Curiously, photos of this D820 were filed alongside documentation for Verizon’s G2 (VS980), but the clear view of the front and back appears to be of the same LG-branded smartphone that was approved by the FCC just a week ago.

The D820 offers same rounded-off top and bottom edges found on the Nexus 4, while stepping away from the glass-covered back of its predecessor. Last week’s FCC filing also points to LG including a 5-inch display and a Snapdragon 800 SoC, boosting not only its size but performance too. There’s also room for Qi wireless charging and support for 7-band LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and dual-band 802.11 b/g/n/ac.

While the shots don’t feature the same giant Nexus logo we saw on the mysterious LG phone used by a Google employee recently, we’re almost certainly looking at the same device. We just hope he got to keep his job.

There should be little doubt that Google is planning on continuing their Nexus smartphone program well into the future – that much is clear. What’s not as clear is their release schedule and manufacturer choices – the pattern we’ve expected to find appearing several years ago with a new OEM for each device being doused […]
