HTC
is reportedly all set to launch a variant of last year's flagship
smartphone, the One (M8). Called the HTC One M8s, it is said to be
identical except for the mid-range 64-bit Snapdragon 615 SoC instead of
the Snapdragon 801 SoC onboard, as per a report citing HTC Benelux
Director, Mark Moons.
Moons in an interview told Dutch blog
Tweakers that the company wants to ensure the availability of the
existing HTC One (M8) in some form, therefore it is going for the 64-bit
Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC. Because of this, the One M8s is expected
to be priced EUR 250 lower than the new flagship One M9, which is priced
at EUR 749.
"We want it to sell [for] a time. The new processor
is 64-bit and a newer model than those from the M8,"
said
(translated) Moons.
At present there is no information in which
regions the HTC One M8s will replace the existing One (M8), but
speculation extends to Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg markets.
We would also wish that the smartphone comes to India, considering the
lower price point combined with the looks of One (M8) making it a
attractive proposition for consumers in the country.
Meanwhile,
HTC at MWC 2015 on Sunday launched its new flagship smartphone, the HTC
One M9 (First
Impressions).
The smartphone sports an all-metal unibody design and will be available
dual tone Silver and Rose Gold, single-tone Gunmetal Grey, single tone
Gold, and dual tone Gold and Pink colours. HTC alongside had also
announced a number of accessories including the second-generation HTC
Dot View II case for the One M9.
