Pocketnow has got a huge scoop here, as they’ve just showed the world what the first quad core phone will look like. This pioneer is the HTC Edge, a Nvidia Tegra 3 handset that relies on the Kal-El technology we’ve been waiting for over the past months. There’s also a quad core tablet called the ASUS Transformer Prime that’s being launched two days from now.

As far as the HTC Edge goes, this is a 4.7 inch phone with a 720p screen, 1GB of RAM and supposedly a successor to the HTC Rezound model. The quad core smarpthone uses an 8 megapixel camera with 28 mm f/2.2 lens and four 1.5GHz cores to harness the power of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The internal storage will be around 32GB and Bluetooth should version 3.0. Of course, Beats Audio is in the mix…

HTC Sense 4.0 is also expected to meddle with the Android experience here, providing a special way of interaction, management and looks of the UI. Several new services are also expected from HTC, including a HTC Read bookstore, HTC Play gaming hub and HTC Listen music store. LTE wasn’t mentioned, so I guess it depends on the choice of each carrier. Q1/Q2 2012 is when this beast will come…
