Alleged specs for a so-called "Ville" emerged by way of BGR recently, suggesting that we'd see just such a phone out of HTC with a 4.3-inch qHD display, dual-core Snapdragon S4, and a metal (and NFC-free) body.

Now that Motorola's smashed through the 8mm barrier with the Droid RAZR, there's every reason to believe a variety of other manufacturers will be following suit in the coming months. Alleged specs for a so-called "Ville" emerged by way of BGR recently, suggesting that we'd see just such a phone out of HTC with a 4.3-inch qHD display, dual-core Snapdragon S4, and a metal (and NFC-free) body. Now — courtesy of PocketNow — we've got a render to match the specs, and it looks every bit as thin as the rumors would suggest. Clearly it'd be easy for an Illustrator wizard to throw this render together based on a working knowledge of HTC's design philosophy and the specs that we're expecting, but PocketNow has developed a pretty solid reputation for delivering real leaks. Think you'd buy this one in early 2012?
