The HTC Wind, also
known by its robotically romantic HTC T328w model name, surfaced in
China and it’s a strange yet interesting mix-up of features. First off,
it looks almost like the recently announced HTC One, but should be much
more affordable and allegedly comes with dual-SIM functionality. It also
runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, which is a definite plus.
Why
is the HTC Wind a strange mixture? First and foremost, we haven’t seen a
dual-SIM handset by HTC yet. So, even though the pictures of the phone
are definitely real, we would take the dual-SIM support with a grain of
salt for the moment - it might not be there actually.
What seems to be certain is the rest of the specifications. Here are the highlights of the HTC Wind specs:
- a 4-inch Super LCD WVGA screen,
- runs on ICS skinned up with Sense UI 4.0,
- features a 1GHz single-core processor,
- 512MB of RAM,
- 4 gigs internal memory, expandable via microSD,
- 5-megapixel rear camera,
- 1,650mAh battery.
Nothing
impressive, but what should impress is the price tag set at 2,000
Chinese yuan or around $315 off contract. At that price, the HTC Wind
will be fighting against mostly Gingerbread-flavored Android
mid-rangers, so it’s got the head start. And if you're wondering when
and whether can you get it, it's hard to say. There's no release date
announced yet and we don't actually know if the handset will be
available outside of China. Hoping that it will be, how do you like what
you see?
