When it rains, it pours. True for Indian monsoon, and now Windows Phone 8 devices.
That HTC is ready to announce its Windows Phone 8 devices
has been reported before. Now, the buzz-kills around the Internet have all-but removed any pre-launch excitement by revealing the specs of HTC's Windows Phone phone.
The phone, imaginatively called HTC 8X, is apparently the same device that was earlier spotted as HTC Accord. According to
Brighthand, a xda-developers forum member has revealed the specs of the HTC 8X and even shared a picture (see image on the left).
The leak comes a day after
specifications of the rumoured HTC One X successor, HTC One X+, were
leaked. The HTC 8X will reportedly sport a 4.3-inch display and will be powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor. It will have a 8-megapixel rear camera, 1GB RAM, 16GB of storage and NFC capabilities.
How does that compare to the other Windows Phone 8 devices announced so far? Let's find out.
Samsung was the first of the block, announcing the first Windows Phone 8 device in the form of
Samsung ATIV S. The phone features a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD display, 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor, 8MP rear camera, 1GB RAM, 16/32GB storage and a 2,300mAh battery.
