HTC'с "selfie" phone, the Desire Eye, is now an entry in the Indian import-export database Zauba. Recently, the Eye leaked in pretty press renders, showing a 13 MP front-facing camera and dual LED flash at the front - something no other brand-name phone maker is offering at the moment. Thanks to Zauba, now we get to learn another crucial spec for the Eye - apparently it will have a 5.2" display, too. As for the price, the Desire Eye is listed with a roughly $350 equivalent per unit, which doesn't sound bad at all, depending on what the rest of the specs are.
HTC's selfie phone is not the only thing that the import-export database hides though. Tucked in its table listings is the so-called HTC One (M8) Eye, which we could only assume might refer to the rumored One (M8) version with a 13 MP Duo camera. This one will be selling at quite the premium to the Desire Eye, which could be expected, given the eventual flagship specs. HTC is holding its "Double Exposure" event on Wednesday, and while we are expecting an action camera to be announced by the manufacturer, the unveiling of a selfie phone has been long rumored.
