It does seem that as a particular smartphone or tablet gets closer and closer to its release date, it is going to start making headlines all over the news in terms of leaks. The same also applies to this particular HTC handset, which remains unannounced, and yet we more or less have an inkling that it will be powered by an octa-core chipset. Apparently, this particular device from HTC happens to be a mid-range smartphone in the mould of the Desire series, and it ought to be based upon the most recent MediaTek platform that will carry a true octa-core Cortex-A7 processor underneath the hood. Don’t you think that the shade of red that you see on the right is somewhat similar to the red Nexus 5 image which was leaked earlier today? Also, some others might think that this is somewhat reminiscent of the plastic oriented iPhone 5c, too.
As for the hardware specifications of the rumored octa-core HTC handset, it should arrive with a 5″ 720p display, sports an 8MP shooter at the back, has 1.5GB RAM to keep the MediaTek octa-core processor chugging along just fine, alongside Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and Sense 5.5 UI in tow. Expect to pick up this puppy in yellow, orange, red and blue shades when it finally arrives.
