HTC Primo to Be Another Mid-Range Smartphone

HTC seems to keep up with the strategy it adopted last year. I mean the company announced it would change its plans and launch fewer devices, because practice shows the release of many handsets causes disappointment in consumers and as a result the company’s sales drop down. After such announcements HTC fans hoped HTC would offer fewer smartphones and tablets packed with more powerful features. The first leaks were the best proof of it (the quad-core Endeavor (aka Edge), Ville, Zeta (aka Supreme) and Quattro tablet), but unfortunately, info was leaked mentioning a mid-range smartphone we previously had no idea about — the HTC Primo. Business as usual.

Stuff.tv claims the HTC Primo will sport a 3.7-inch Super AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass, a 1GHz dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM and a 5MP camera with f/2.0 aperture. Plus, the Primo is rumored to run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Perhaps headphones designed by Beats Audio will be included as well.

The specs list is quite respectable. At another time and in another place the phone could be regarded as a high-end one, but it evidently loses standing in line with the smartphones HTC will soon launch.
