“The All New HTC One” will probably have boomier BoomSound

Without Beats, HTC customers were still looking for great sound from their smartphones. Though Beats had a proprietary algorithm that made music pop, HTC now has BoomSound. Coupled with front facing speakers and HTC’s engineering, BoomSounds is a nice feature for their One handsets. With their upcoming One refresh, HTC is teasing a new BoomSound as well.



Via YouTube, HTC gives a comical (read: embarrassing) explanation of what BoomSound is. Geeky engineer guy gives the hard facts, while possible-daytime-talk-show-host guy provides the laypersons explanation. There isn’t much new to take notice of, save for the ending.


Bringing out “The All New HTC One”, Geeky engineer guy holds a pixelated version of the new handset. Censored, of course, he attempts to tell us how the new flagship will be different when it comes to BoomSound. From the sound of it (pun intended), BoomSound will get a lot… boomier?


Expect a slew of these videos leading up to the launch of “The All New HTC One”, covering topics like Zoe or Blinkfeed. As they should, HTC has likely upped the ante on all their features, so expect to be trolled handily until the device comes out. The title itself, "Technical Translations #1" kind of gives it away. One thing you should not expect is for us here at Android Community to actually hack out “The All New HTC One” each time we discuss the device. That name is just terrible. Sorry, HTC.

Dish reportedly won auction for 1900MHz H-Block spectrum

Dish has reportedly won a government spectrum auction, and will now have a massive portion of H-Block in their grasp. That’s important because Dish’s current holdings are adjacent to their new-found holdings, and make Dish the fifth largest spectrum holder in the US. Coming off the heels of a few failed bids to acquire spectrum via snapping up mobile carriers, this is great news for Dish.



If you recall, Dish was a huge adversary for Softbank in their deal for Sprint last year. Dish was also attempting to sneak Clearwire away from Sprint, and quite honestly had a better deal for shareholders. Unfortunately, none of that worked out as they had hoped, leading them the way of the auction. This new H-Block holding is said to have been purchased for $1.56 billion.


If they have indeed won the auction, this would make Dish a major spectrum holder, and free to license their spectrum — or use it for service of their own. The H-Block in question is 1900MHz, and while not the widest or most powerful available, it does pack a punch. Some speculated Dish would make a run at T-Mobile, much as they did with Sprint, but that never materialized.


Dish has long toyed with the idea of getting involved in the wireless game, and this deal gives them enough spectrum to be. We can now begin to wonder if Dish will be a carrier, lease their spectrum out, or partner with someone. There was speculation long ago that they would team up with Google, and this spectrum is likely going to refresh those rumors. Whatever they end up doing with it, it’s a big win for Dish.
