Daniel Shen and Aaron Lee, Taipei; Steve Shen, DIGITIMES [Monday 3 June 2013]
HTC plans to launch a number of new smartphones starting June, including the dual-SIM Desire 600, the HTC Butterfly S and the HTC One mini (codenamed M4), as well as the Desire 200 for the entry-level segment, according to industry sources.
HTC is also developing a large-size phone, codenamed T6, which is expected to come with a 5.9-inch full HD display, and powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core 2.3GHz CPU, the sources indicated.
The HTC One mini will come with a dual-core CPU and a 4.3-inch display with a resolution of 720p running on Android 4.2, said the sources, adding that the HTC One mini is likely to enter volume production in July.
The HTC One mini and the T6 both will adopt metal chassis, with Taiwan-based Catcher Technology as the primary supplier, while China-based BYD will serve as the secondary supplier, the sources revealed.
However, the recent departure of a number of high-ranking executives at HTC, including its EMEA president Florian Seiche, South Asia president Lennard Hoonik, COO Matthew Costello and CPO Kouji Kodera, might affect HTC's market efforts for its new products, as well as its cooperation with telecom carriers, the sources commented.
