Taiwanezii de la HTC au lansat, oficial, versiunea din plastic a modelului HTC One. Botezat E8, noul model vine cu specificatii tehnice apropiate de modelul vedeta, insa la un pret ceva mai mic.
HTC One E8 confirma toate informatiile pe surse, prezentate anterior de GadgetReport.ro
Smartphone-ul vine cu acelasi ecran de 5-inch 1080p ca si pe One M8, principala deosebire constituind-o carcasa din plastic in mai multe culori, de la negru, alb, la albastru si rosu, cu un look lucios.
HTC One E8 are aproape aceleasi dotari tehnice ca si M8.: procesor de 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801, 2 GB de RAM, o camera frontala de 5-megapixeli, difuzoarele BoomSound, sistemul Motion Launch – prin care poti controla telefonul fara atingeri si, nu in ultimul rand, modul „extreme power-saving”, care creste autonomia bateriei de 2600 Mah.
O deosebire importanta este inlocuirea controversatei Duo Camera cu una simpla, de 13-megapixeli. Telefonul ruleaza, bineinteles, sistemul de operare Android 4.4.2.
HTC One E8 va fi lansat in aceasta luna in Asia, in culorile negru, alb si rosu. Taiwanezii nu au anuntat, pentru moment, nicio informatie despre lansarea pe pietele internationale, inclusiv in Romania.
Pretul nu este precizat insa, din estimarile Engadget, nu este exclus ca HTC One E8 “Ace” sa coste 580 de dolari, fata de 850 de dolari cat costa fratele cel mare, modelul HTC One M8.
