HTC is reportedly preparing the world's first quad-core smartphone, the HTC Edge.
According to PocketNow, which claims to have leaked images of the purported device, the Edge would boast a Tegra 3 processor, packing a whopping four 1.5GHz chips.
The Tegra 2 processor, made by NVIDIA, currently lives within the most powerful Android phones on the market and that boasts two 1.5GHz chips, so quad-core would represent a huge upgrade.
The HTC Edge in question reportedly has a 4.7-inch HD display, 1GB of RAM and an 8-megapixel camera with an LED flash, putting it up there with the top-specced Android devices.
Given that time period, it's also likely that any new releases from HTC would arrive packing the new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.
The NVIDA Tegra 2 processor has primarily made Android phones more of a competitor in terms of gaming and graphical capabilities.
Quad-core phones could allow users of Google's operating system to experience even more iOS-like games that require a lot of power and put greater tools in the hands of developers.

MWC debut?
The first quad-core phones are expected in early 2012, so it would be a reasonable assumption to expect this device to appear at Mobile World congress in just three months time.Given that time period, it's also likely that any new releases from HTC would arrive packing the new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.
