HTC Flyer 2: 7″ 1280 x 720 Display, Qualcomm S4 Processor, Aluminum Body, 7.1mm Thin.
The HTC Flyer didn’t exactly become the runaway success that HTC had hoped. But that isn’t stopping them from trying their hand at the Android tablet scene again. Despite a new focus on Windows 8 tablet specific features, HTC is apparently still gung-ho about winning over the green army on the mid-range screen.
Phonearena was tipped about a new “Flyer 2″ that will pick up where the last first-gen Flyer left off. That said, don’t look for a fluffed out spec sheet. According to Phonearena’s source, HTC is going to a price/performance balance while also providing a superior design to consumers.
Specs for the Flyer 2 will allegedly look something like this:
- Display: 7-inch 1280 x 720
- Processor: Qualcomm S4
- OS: Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (probably with stylus features/support from Flyer 1)
- Cameras: 3-megapixel (rear)1-megapixel (front)
The design HTC hints entails using the same gorgeous anodized aluminum that the One S is constructed out of and blowing it up to a 7″ tablet form factor. Somehow we don’t think any of you will have a problem with this, considering the One S is a hot phone itself.
Here’s to hoping the Flyer 2 can help HTC right their listing ship. A recent string of missed software deadlines and fragmented branding/availability across carriers following many quarters of abysmal hardware has caused the once great phone manufacturer to fall out of the running and into the hallway leading to irrelevance.
