You might have heard rumors that HTC is working on a device codenamed “Hima”. The device, if the rumors are to be believed, is the successor to the HTC One M8, although it is said that it will be launch with a completely different branding come 2015. Now thanks to a new rumor by @upleaks, it has been revealed that there is a possibility that we could be looking at a Windows Phone version of the HTC “Hima” as well.
Is this such a stretch of the imagination? Well, not really especially when you consider that there is a HTC One M8 for Windows handset which is essentially the One M8 with Windows Phone running on top of it. Presumably the same treatment will be given to the Windows Phone version of the Hima as well, so you can expect the same hardware as the Android version.
For those who might have missed the rumors, word on the street has it that the HTC “Hima” will pack a 5-inch Full HD display and will be powered by a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset. It will also be accompanied by 3GB of RAM, a 20.7MP rear-facing camera, and a 2,840mAh battery.
Assuming that the specs are the real deal, this could end up being one of the more powerful Windows Phone handsets around, at least to our knowledge so far. In any case be sure to take it with a grain of salt for now, but do check back with us around January/March during CES/MWC 2015 where HTC is expected to make some announcements.
