Upcoming HTC Mobile Phones

August 14, 2010 by: admin

Taiwanese mobile manufacturer HTC has made a name for itself as a purveyor of high end smartphones and recent estimates suggest that one out of every two handsets sold bearing the Android or Windows Mobile operating systems are part of HTC`s range. This puts it in an influential position in a growing market and it is managing to edge out its more established rivals with popular mobiles like the Desire and the Wildfire. HTC is not afraid to let details about its upcoming projects leak out either, so let us take a quick look at the offerings that are going to arrive over the next year.

HTC Glacier

HTC GlacierOne particularly interesting future product being developed by HTC goes under the Glacier codename. It is likely that this is a play on words, since it will be the fastest smartphone on the market when it arrives. According to reports the HTC Glacier will be the first smartphone to use a dual core processor, with a clock speed of up to 1.5GHz potentially on the cards. This will be paired with a large touchscreen display, perhaps in the region of four inches across the diagonal and with a native resolution of 800×480. It is likely that the Glacier will launch with version 3.0 of the Android operating system onboard, making it a tempting, powerful option.

HTC Paradise and Fiesta

The first two examples of these midrange HTC smartphones turned up on an auction site online despite the fact that they have yet to be announced, let alone released. The Paradise features a full QWERTY keypad while the Fiesta is touchscreen-only and it is alleged that these two prototypes are actually going to be replacements for the HTC Aria, although little has been confirmed since the devices were leaked. They may not pack the high end punch of the Glacier, but they are certainly set to be compelling additions to HTC`s line up if they ever make it to market.

HTC Desire HD and Z

Recent reports suggest that two HTC smartphones previously codenamed the Ace and Vision are going to hit the market as the Desire HD and the Desire Z, piggybacking on the popularity of this Android –based handset as HTC begins a franchise. The Desire HD will offer high definition video recording capabilities and a 4.3 inch touchscreen display. Both handsets will allegedly sport Android 2.2 and the Desire Z will be targeted at the business and messaging market thanks to its full QWERTY keypad.

HTC Sabor

Whilst the HTC Glacier is rumoured to pack a dual core processor, the Sabor will apparently opt for pure clock speed grunt by integrating a 2GHz processor. This will allow it to compete with an upcoming Motorola smartphone that will also boast a 2GHz processor and the Android platform. The Sabor is expected to have the ability to shoot high definition video in full HD 1080p, which will make it an incredibly impressive mobile phone and it will also have a large Super AMOLED display and an integrated kickstand to make reviewing your videos and watching movies comfortable if you have access to any flat surface.
