HTC Runnymede/Bass shown off in quick video, still not official

by 9 comments

The HTC Runnymede peeks out of the rumor mill again, this time on video. It’s been spotted before, but seeing an actual running device means that it’s either very close to completion or already completed – and an official announcement can’t be too far off.

The Runnymede, or perhaps Bass, puts a 4.7″ WVGA S-LCD screen and Beats Audio in the same package as a 1.5GHz single-core CPU, among other specs.

Being a Beats Audio device, it’s a safe bet that the HTC Runnymede will come with an above-average headset as the other Beats-branded HTC phones. Rumor has it that it will cost £530 for the 16GB version (that’s $820) or £560 for the 32GB ($865). Keep in mind that the headset alone will run you about £65 ($100).

Check out the video:

An eager UK retailer put up an unlocked Runnymede for pre-order, calling it the HTC Bass, so that’s probably the name to look out for (around Europe at least). The one in the video shows Vodafone branding on screen, so chances are it will be available with carrier subsidies too.

The HTC Runnymede/Bass is the second contender for the guest of honor spot in HTC’s October 6th event, along with the HTC Amaze 4G. Which of the would you like to see more unveiled on the 6th?
