HTC will have new terminals with Windows Phone ready during 2013

HTC was, together with Nokia and Samsung, one of the first manufacturers to bet on Windows Phone 8. With the release of the new version of Microsoft's mobile operating system, the Taiwanese manufacturer put on the market two smartphones: HTC 8S and HTC 8X. Now, having recently renewed its commitment to Android with the HTC One, it does not forget Windows Phone and promises new terminals this year Will the HTC Tiara be one of them? ?

"

The information comes from statements by Tai Ito, vice president of the company, to CNET Asia.The executive assures that his company is fully committed to Windows Phone, and that they are collaborating with Microsoft to have lists news this year He also understands that Windows Phone 8 is not as good as the market expected, but they know it takes time and are willing to keep working with it."

For those wondering what device design they might be working on, Tai Ito says that we shouldn't expect elements of his brand new HTC One in future Windows Phones , since the company is choosing to maintain different approaches in each system. He likewise has ruled out for now the possibility that we'll see a Windows Phone smartphone with a much larger screen than the 8S and 8X.

Just a few hours after these statements, Unwired View published what it claims are the specifications of HTC's new Windows Phone.Known as Tiara, the new terminal would have a dual-core Snapdragon processor, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. All this presented by a 4.3-inch screen, and accompanied by an 8-megapixel camera and a 1.6-megapixel front camera. The new smartphone would be the first to include a new update to Windows Phone 8, and, as Tai Ito had declared, it would not follow the design of the HTC One, maintaining a differentiated style.

These are not great specifications for the possible new HTC smartphone, which seems to aim more at the mid-range or entry level. With Nokia betting everything on Windows Phone, Samsung keeping a limited approach, and new players like Huawei closing in; HTC continues to be one of Microsoft's great strengths to have quality devices on Windows Phone. Even more so after hearing news such as LG's reluctance or the silence of other manufacturers.
