Early in March some information about HTC’s upcoming entry-level Android-powered smartphone made its rounds accompanied by a less than stellar photo taken by its 5-megapixel camera. The good people over at PocketNow have managed to obtain the first press shot of the Ice Cream Sandwich handset.
The Golf codename is reportedly going to be replaced by the Wildfire C moniker at its released, which is anticipated to occur at the end of quarter. While the Golf will enter HTC’s lineup at the bottom of the specs pack, it does seem to have taken some design inspiration from the One series.
The HTC Golf is rumored to put the mega back in your hertz by sporting a single-core processor under 1GHz as well as 512MB RAM, 4GB onboard storage, a 3.5-inch 480 x 320 display, front and rear facing cameras, and the Beats audio, most likely sans- the Beats headphones. A 2-year free subscription to Dropbox’s 25GB plan to augment storage is also rumored be included.
On the Visible+ Pro plan, you get access to 5G Ultra Wideband data on Verizon's fastest network. Along with unlimited roaming across Mexico and Canada, 2 days of Global Pass per month, 3x hotspot speeds, 4K streaming, and Smartwatch service.
