It was only yesterday that we
reported about the HTC Desire 8,
HTC's own
octa-core alternative to the
Note 3's and the
oppo N1's.
Until then, the
device was only expected to be
launched in China, at an event on the 24th this month. However,
LlabToofer reports that the
device might be headed to the
US.
LlabToofer reportedly managed to dissect an early software build for the
Desire 8, upon which compatibility with US's AT&T and Sprint networks were found.
AndroidCentral suggests
that the
Desire 8 might well be packaged as a 'premium mid-range
device' which carriers other than just AT&T and Sprint might carry.
The
HTC Desire 8 will come with a 5.5-inch screen,
octa-core processor (most likely the MediaTek MT6592) along with other internals that include a 13 mega-pixel rear shooter and a 5 mega-pixel front-facer. It's likely that the
device be
launched at the impending Mobile World Congress which is due within the next two weeks.
