 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..
