HTC is releasing a new smartphone codenamed “HTC Ville”, and this will come with many top specs, such as ICS and Sense 4.0. This handset looks very hot indeed and is right up there with the HTC Edge and Nexus.

We cannot compare what phone will be the best out of the Nexus and this new HTC Ville smartphone as we do not have enough information yet, but what we do know thanks to BGR is a few of the features this one has.

The HTC Ville will come packed with Android Ice Cream Sandwich, 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display, 8MP rear camera, 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, 8mm thick, Metal construction, 1650mAh battery and HSPA+.

This new handset should make an appearance alongside the Edge at Mobile World Congress, release date could be somewhere around April 2012, this is all hearsay so please do not shoot the messenger.

Looking at the specs above, if all true of course, would this sway your mind away for the new Nexus about to release?
