Even though Google’s Pixel duo are made by HTC, Google has retained the branding of the devices while HTC has to remain in the shadows for these phones. But that does not mean that HTC will sit on the sidelines for the rest of the year, as the company is preparing to release its next mid-range device this month.
The HTC Bolt has been talked about before as a Sprint-exclusive. While the renders of the device gave us a fair idea of what to expect, we now have live images of the device, courtesy of Evan Blass and VentureBeat, to give us a better view of what the device feels like in person.
The HTC Bolt is known internally as Acadia, and it is HTC’s latest upcoming mid-ranger that will also come bearing HTC’s Sense skin atop of Android 7.0 Nougat. The Bolt sports a 5.5″ FHD display, and will come with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage and a microsd card slot. The SoC of the device is unknown as of now, but since this is a mid ranger, flagship grade SoCs like the Snapdragon 820 or 821 are ruled out. The device also sports an 18-MP primary camera with f/2.0 aperture and 4K video capabilities, along with an 8MP front camera. There is also a fingerprint scanner, as seen on the front of the device.
As visible in the images, the device comes with a USB Type-C port, but does not come with a 3.5 headphone jack. HTC’s BoomSound tech is available on the device, but only via (USB Type-C) headphones and not via the single, bottom firing speaker.
The HTC Bolt is expected to be available globally, and in the United States through Sprint. Pricing of the device and its launch date are unknown as of yet.
