The first reports indicating an Endeavor launch around MWC 2012 originated from a publication known as MoDaCo who said that HTC would announce it during the event.

This same publication also leaked the specs for the quad-core smartphone.

9to5 Google recently commented on HTC's move to release a device with a quad-core processor and its decision to partner up with Nvidia.

"HTC's move to Nvidia from Qualcomm for processing power is definitely interesting, wrote the site."HTC has been with Qualcomm exclusively for as long as I can remember, but Nvidia's processors should definitely do the job for HTC."

The site also commented on other device manufacturers following in HTC's footsteps.

"HTC will most likely not be the only manufacturer announcing a partnership with Nvidia at MWC," wrote 9to5 Google.

Apple's next iPhone along with the Samsung Galaxy S3 are rumored to possibly be including quad-core processors.
