0 HTC Ignite, Prime, Pyramind Phone Images Surface

HTC recently refreshed it's Android based smartphone line-up at the Mobile World Congress 2011. But apart from that, HTC is working to bring one more high-end Android and two Windows Phone 7 based handsets to stay up in the competition. XDA China website got exclusive images renders of the upcoming HTC handsets deemed for this year. The new HTC Ignite and HTC Prime are destined to run Windows Phone 7 update while the HTC Pyramind will run Google Android mobile operating system.

Recently, Nokia joined hands with Microsoft and announced that it will use Windows Phone 7 as the primary smartphone OS. That brought yet another competitor to the WP7 hardware partners. HTC aims to be the leader for both Android and Windows Phone 7 based devices. So we can see the company churning out more handsets for both mobile platforms. Now let's take a look at the leaked information of the upcoming handsets.

HTC Ignite

Designed very similar to the current HTC Mozart handset, the Ignite will have the same 3.7-inch WVGA display with 480x800 pixel resolution. The first visible difference is that the Ignite's chasis is more on the silver side while the Mozart's body is a bit dark. However, the Ignite has been reported of having 800MHz processor which seems to be a bit confusing because a WP7 OS smartphone must have 1GHz CPU as per the minimum requirements laid down by Microsoft. Ignite sports a 5 megapixel camera at the back and has three capacitive buttons on the front panel - Back, Windows Key and Search button.


HTC Prime
Another Windows Phone 7 based handset, Prime is a slide-out phone following the footsteps of HTC 7 Pro. The new HTC Prime will have 3.7-inch display supporting 480x800 pixel resolution and 5 megapixel camera with LED Flash as well as auto focus. It
will flaunt a full QWERTY keyboard with nicely spaced out keys.

HTC Pyramind

The Pyramind Z710e appears to be a blend of Desire HD, Incredible S and HD7. Sporting the most recent Android update, the smartphone comes with a 4.3-inch touchscreen Super Clear LCD display that supports 960x540 resolution. Packing a 768MB RAM, the smartphone has 8 megapixel camera at the back and a 1.3 megapixel camera in the front.

These new leaked handsets appear to have bit of silver-ish chasis, which is bit unusual as most HTC touchscreen phones have been getting darker body panels.
