Purported HTC One X10 Spotted At The Bluetooth SIG: One A9 Successor Arriving Soon
An unknown HTC device has dropped by the Bluetooth SIG and it might be the HTC One X10. The handset is expected to debut on Jan. 12 with midrange specs on board, sporting an affordable price tag.
A new HTC smartphone has dropped
by the Bluetooth SIG and it's believed to be none other than the One
X10, successor to the One A9.
As a reminder, the HTC One X9 from last year was similar to the One A9, but it carried a lower price tag and added BoomSound stereo front speakers to sweeten the deal.
The One X10, however, is expected to be a sequel to the One A9, not the One X9.
HTC is
expected to host a launch event on Jan. 12 and the purported HTC One
X10 could be one of the stars of the event. An unknown HTC device has
now received certification from the Bluetooth SIG and it might just be
the One X10, getting ready to hit the market.
HTC Smartphone At Bluetooth SIG
The handset certified by Bluetooth SIG carries model number 2PYR1XX. While the listing does
not specify a device name that would confirm we're talking about the
One X10, some hints in the model number do hint in this direction
As PhoneArena points out,
the last part of the model number, specifically the "1XX" part, could
stand for One, X and 10 written as a Roman numeral. Should this turn out
to be accurate, that 1XX would translate to One X10. Keep in mind,
however, that there's no evidence yet to support this claim and the
listed device could well be some other smartphone.
HTC One X10 Rumored Specs
The
HTC One X10 is expected to hit the scene as a midrange smartphone with a
5.5-inch full HD display (1,920 x 1,080 pixels), an octa-core MediaTek
Helio P10 processor clocked at 2 GHz, Mali T-860 graphics and 3 GB of
RAM. Other purported specs include a 13-megapixel main camera with
optical image stabilization (OIS).
When it comes to
pricing, the midrange HTC One X10 is expected to cost roughly $288 when
it hits the market, making it an affordable device less than half the
price of high-end flagships.
It remains to be seen
whether these specs will turn out to be accurate and the HTC One X10
will indeed debut on Jan. 12, but it's definitely a possibility. HTC
has fallen behind rivals in recent years and despite its efforts to make a comeback, Apple and Samsung still dominate the smartphone market.
The
HTC 10 flagship stirred some waves upon its debut, but failed to see
great success. Making another attempt with a combination of high-end and
midrange devices could help HTC get a bigger bite of the smartphone
market, but it's all just speculation for now. As always in such cases,
take all leaks and rumors with a grain of salt.
