According to the oft-accurate Twitter source @evleaks, the HTC tablet will feature a silver aluminum unibody housing high-end hardware. Reportedly, the final version of the Volantis could include a 64-bit Nvidia Tegra K1 processor, 5GB DDR3 RAM, 64GB of internal storage, and either a 5-megapixel or 8-megapixel rear-facing camera.

Differing from last week’s rumor, the latest chatter points to an 8.9-inch display packing a 2,560×1,600 pixel resolution and not the 2,048×1,440 pixels previously suggested. It’s also worth noting that earlier talk pegged the device with 2GB RAM. Mix that in with the completely different render we see today, and it’s clear that the Volantis puzzle is far from complete.
