It will feature big size 486ppi image output because higher display number would deliver high quality image and video. Latest rumours on the internet about this unreleased HTC device suggest that it will run on a 1.7GHZ Quad Core Qualcomm Processor plus 2GB of RAM.

Here is one piece of bad news for the lovers of large Windows Phone devices, new report claims that HTC decide to scrap its plan to introduce a Windows Phone 8 with a large display screen that could give the likes of Galaxy Note 2 a run for their money.

Bloomberg report that a person familiar with project claim that HTC had killed its plan for a large screened Windows Phone 8 model citing a large display screen would in turn have a lower screen resolution than on that competing phones, including Android models from HTC and Samsung. Although the details about the phone remain unknown but this HTC Windows Phone 8 originally planned to be introduced sometimes next year.

HTC earlier released two large sized Windows phone variant on the AT&T name the Titan and Titan II which come with 4.7-inch 800X480 display. Windows Phone 8 have the capability to support the higher resolution screen which goes up to 1280X768 and 1280X720. Microsoft’s latest OS currently did not include the support for 1080p Full HD screen that can be seen on Android handsets like the HTC Droid DNA and possibly on the Samsung’s next generation of flagship model, the Galaxy S4.

With Samsung and LG also planned to release its own 1080p Full HD Smartphone, HTC would be playing catch-up even before its hit the market.

This news certainly are a bit unfortunate for Windows Phone fans that have been anticipating a Titan-sized windows phone 8 device from HTC mainly after the arrival of the 8X and 8S which was well received and praised for their design and colors

HTC Titan III Could be HTC's Third Windows 8 Smartphone




A reward survey on the Xbox Live to see what is the most sought after device to receive as gifts revealed HTC’s third handset, the Titan III. Although HTC’s Windows Phones 8X can be considered as a high-end device, it it not a match for the likes of Lumia 920, top Android devices or Apple flagship’s iPhone 5.

The main reason of why HTC put an average looking device out early on Windows 8 platform on the market was unclear, as it might be mere scrap attempt by HTC. But now, the logic is that HTC want to release the Titan III later as the Samsung Ativ and Huawei W1 will be released.


The Titan III was put alongside the iPhone 5, Samsung GalaxyS3, Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx HD and the Nokia Lumia 920. Some experts claimed it might be a typing error as the Titan II is out on the market and it is irrelevant to see the Titan II compare to the other phone features.

 Initially named the HTC Zenith, the Titan III could be the third Windows phone from HTC after the 8S and 8X. It may not even be called the Titan III after all and might be named similar to 8S and 8X. X has been a regular code name for high-end HTC devices and it’s up for debate what the Titan III name would be.

 The HTC Titan III will boast a 4.7-inch 720p display along with a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 1GB of RAM, an 8MP camera and HSPA+ connectivity. Although this kind of specs doesn’t really fit in to what the US consumers which mostly prefer the smartphones with LTE. HTC may opt to release this to European and Asian market..
