HTC to do windows phablet


There has been a report about HTC and Microsoft being in
great relations for a while now and rumors, regarding
HTC's roadmap for this year, have been suggesting that
there will be more Windows Phone devices coming from
the manufacturer, covering different price points.
Of course, we already saw the arrival of HTC One (M8)
for Windows, though, the rumor mill suggests that this
is only the beginning. News website GantDaily states
that HTC is preparing a phablet-sized device, running
Microsoft's OS.
Now, we are expecting HTC to announce another phablet
this fall – possibly in November, according to leakster
@upleaks – which would fall in-line with its release
strategy from last year – the One was released in Q1
2013, while the One Max came out in Q4 2013. While the
new phablet is expected to be this year's equivalent of
the One Max – powered by Android, no doubt – this
new rumor begs the question – could HTC possibly be
planning to do the same thing they did with the One
(M8) and release two versions of the same device – one
sporting Android, and the other – Windows Phone? And
if so – would there be a few months between the two
variants' launches, like with the One (M8)?
Another upcoming device that has been whispered
about, is a selfie-centered phone, dubbed (according to
rumors and probably a code-name) the HTC Eye.
@upleaks has posted a few intermittent tweets about the
device, suggesting that it will come with a 5.2” 1080p
display, which would give us a highly detailed picture
with a pixel density of ~424 PPI. Further @upleaks
rumors say it would be powered by a Snapdragon 801
SoC; come in red, white, and blue color choices; and
offer a unique selfie-stand accessory.
The leakster also talks about an M8_Eye, which should
not be confused with the selfie-centered Eye, but is an
M8 with an upgraded, 13 MP Duo Camera. How much of
that is true remains to be seen.
M8 + 13MP Duo Camera = M8_EYE :)
