I’m one of those firmly in the camp that 4.3-inches is possibly the biggest size screen I’d personally want on a phone, but HTC seems to disagree. Nope, the company is not content with 4.3-inch screens for their Windows Phone 8 devices, as seen on their latest HTC 8X. HTC is going bigger. Because bigger… is better?
Well I can’t argue with the popularity of the 5.3-inch toting Samsung Galaxy Note, and it looks like HTC will want to follow suit. Ren Weiguang, president of HTC China, casually dropped in conversation that his company will be working on Windows Phone 8 devices that will be carrying even larger displays compared to what was shown with the HTC 8S and HTC 8X, which means we’re going to be looking at 4.5-inch screens at the minimum. With these comments, and the leaked roadmap shown back in June, it definitely looks like we could be seeing the 4.7-inch, quad-core HTC Zenith coming into fruition soon. Once you go big… [Ubergizmo]













I’d wager that they could fit a 4.4″ screen in there and still be larger…
Mr Elf are you on The Google plus?
There’s a distinct possibility!
As whom though?
That’s what I’ve been trying to figure, don’t tell me though, I know who you’re not….
I will admit that I may have had a retro change of heart RE: avatars
Does ICQ still exist?!
Yup, and even for you!
http://www.icq.com/download/mobile/wp7/en
Mother of God! If only I knew someone still using it..
I’m thinking the same atm!
I LOVED ICQ. Maybe we should launch a campaign to get everyone back on it…
Might have to choose a new handle, mind. Think mine was something terribly late-’90s, such as kickflip_chick_294829842. Ugh. A misspent childhood playing Tony Hawk, as you can see.
Hmmm maybe a successor to the mighty HTC Titan? Too bad I will already have a Lumia 920 by then..
Haha nice avatar. Oldschool.
Thought I would stick up for the scrappy upstart for once..
Don’t mind me. Just jumping on a bandwagon.
Did I mention I have a tumblr? (Click my name)
Think your avatar might be the wrong colour there troy
Haha nope it’s the right colour. I am staging a protest that Google hasn’t released a G+ app for Windows Phone yet!
Good for you, keep up the fine work!
I have to say, every time I see a Windows 8 phone – whether it be HTC or Nokia – I can’t help thinking they really look rather nice. It’s about time we had a bit of colour in the phone market.
The actual OS is pretty nifty too. Good clean design
I think the Giz-UK All Stars should all adopt WP8.
The Nokia 920 is certainly on the top of my list at the moment. That list is subject to change though.
Yet another example of people copying Apples innovation, bigger screens? Copycats!
Can’t reply to Kat (is there a replies limit for initial posts?)
I wonder if I can find my ICQ details….
