Unknown HTC beast spotted in blurry pics, could it be the much awaited Verizon-bound phablet?

HTC has had a surprisingly discreet IFA, only unveiling one not very impressive smartphone in Berlin. Still, we know that the Taiwanese are onto something and it’s only a matter of time until we’ll be seeing it announced.

But what about that Galaxy Note competitor we’ve been hearing about ever since April? Well, that also dropped off the radar for a while, only to pop up again in a benchmark in July and in a Digitimes report some weeks ago. Neither rumor was particularly trustworthy, but there usually isn’t any smoke without a fire in the tech world, is it? And if you needed an additional reason to believe in the existence of HTC’s phablet, here are two awfully blurry pics leaked by Phone Forum HK.
