Windows Version Of HTC One (M8) Coming Later This Year

Earlier in the year, we had heard news reports that suggested HTC working on a Windows-based flagship smartphone, which will have a similar-to-the-form factor of the HTC One M8. We really think that the HTC One M8 sports a great design and it will be a good to see a Windows avatar of this smartphone.

In the past few weeks, we had also read news reports that perhaps HTC has dropped the idea. However, a recent tweet by The Verge’s Tom Warren, HTC is still working on the said smartphone.

The tweet reads as “Oh and HTC is working on a Windows Phone version of the One. Should be out later this year”. Sadly at this stage, there is no more information regarding this Windows version of the HTC One M8.

The most notable feature of the HTC One (M8) is its camera. The device packs in what the company dubs as the HTC Duo camera.
