HTC is holding a press event on September 19 in New York and it was
widely thought to be the stage where the Taiwanese smartphone vendor
would introduce its first Windows Phone 8 devices including the Accord. However, it seems like the Accord won’t be the only thing we will see on that day. CNET
is pointing towards rumors that HTC could also show off two tablets
that could include a successor to the Flyer and a 10.1-inch tablet with
an off-center display that was leaked a few days ago.
HTC had given up on tablets after the
Flyer but had promised it had not abandoned the form-factor entirely.
The Flyer 2 is expected to have a design inspired by HTC’s One Series
and feature a 7-inch 1,280×768-pixel display, a 3-megapixel camera on
the rear, and a 1-megapixel front-facing camera. It would run on
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 processor.
If the leaked shots of the 10.1-inch tablet turn out to be legit, HTC
might have a game changing design on its hands. To be honest, it looks
like a miniature iMac display with the rear camera on the lower part and
an off center display, which we believe would help users hold the
tablet comfortably in portrait mode. We cannot vouch for the
authenticity of the pics posted by Twitter user @evleaks,
especially considering one of the shots had Apple’s stock iPad
wallpaper. However, leaked photos of the Lumia 920 and the Lumia 820
posted by the same handle turned out to be legit, we are hopeful these
would be authentic.
HTC could also announce an Android phablet with a 1080p display. Initially headed to Verizon, we are quite certain it would be announced globally too.
