I have been following the leaks of HTC new phone for the past few days. Based on the information gathered, it will be colorful and not as high specs as I had expected. These leaks came from China sites.
Seems like HTC is following the trend of iPhone 5c with a slew of colors for their next handset. Sadly, if the rumors are true, they are not making a high-end model. Instead, I would think that based on the leaked information, the handset is just low to mid-range.
Here are some leaked information from GizChina: –
- 5-inch HD (720p) screen
- 8 MPX camera (no UltraPixel)
- HTC Sense 5.5 based on Android 4.3
- Might be using MediaTek Octa core procesrso
- 1.5GB RAM
- Price: RMB2000 (around S$421)
If this is true, I am really disappointed. The price range, IMO, is not that low for a low to mid range phone and if HTC’s intention is to get their phone to the mass, the consumers will have a lot of other choices. I hope HTC can reveal more (or even unveil the product) during MWC.
