HTC One M8 with Windows Phone

During its launch event scheduled for later today, HTC is expected to unveil the so-called One M8 for Windows, which is a high-end Windows Phone 8.1 handset based on the One M8 Android version.

The information has been recently confirmed by an advert displayed in a store which shows off the HTC One M8 with either Windows Phone or Android operating systemonboard.

Another piece of information confirmed via WPCentral is the fact that HTC One M8 for Windows will be exclusive to Verizon Wireless in the United States.

Obviously, this doesn’t mean the smartphone won’t be launched in other countries as well, but it looks like the Big Red will be the first carrier to offer the HTC One M8 with Windows. There’s no word on price tag yet, but we suspect it will be available for around $200 (€150) or $300 (€225) on two-year agreements.

Specs-wise, the HTC One M8 with Windows is basically the original One M8’s twin brother, as both smartphones offer the same features in terms of hardware. The only thing that differentiates them is the mobile platform that each runs by default.

When it comes to design, the Windows Phone handset will feature the same metal chassis as the Android version, so you won’t be able to tell the difference until you open the phone. 

Still, there is another way that you can tell which of the two handsets runs Android and which comes with Windows Phone onboard. It looks like the HTC One M8 for Windows features the operating system’s logo on the back.

Other than that, there aren’t really any differences between the two smartphones. This means HTC One M8 for Windows comes equipped with a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, an Adreno 330 graphics processing unit and 2GB of RAM.

The smartphone will also pack 32GB of internal memory, as well as microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 128GB).
