Plans For New HTC Windows Phone 8 Dropped

While the iPhone is still considered one of the best smartphones on the market, the Windows Phone is currently making a big push. To further capitalize on the surging popularity of these new phones, the HTC Windows Phone 8 was set to be released as a bigger screen version of its predecessor. The intent was to go challenge other Android smartphones with large displays. However, the plans had to be scrapped once they realized that the phone does not support a high resolution screen. Currently Microsoft’s operating system offers 720p resolution, while most large display competitors offer 1080p or in some cases even better. In my opinion, it was a good move for HTC to go ahead and drop these plans because otherwise they would have been surely bashed in reviews for the poor quality of the display screen. For my taste, I do not like large display phones, but some people enjoy gaming and watching videos on their phones and for those people having a quality display is the most important a phone can have. If HTC wants to stay competitive and capture the growing demand for this type of phone in the near future, they will have to make big decisions like this and stay on the cutting edge.
