Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is a little pressured today as rival HTC has unveiled its line of smartphones running Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) Windows Phone 8: the HTC 8X and 8S.
First off, they look pretty awesome. Mostly block, with a swath of color on the bottom and matching color highlights on the earpiece and around the camera lens.
The 8X has a 4.3-inch 1280 x 720 LCD 2 display, which produces a staggering 341 pixels per inch (PPI). Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) Retina display last clocked in at 326 PPI.
Running the 8X is a dual-core Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM) S4 processor, 16-GB of storage, and 1-GB of RAM. The batter is 1800-mAh and the device has NFC support. No support for MicroSD expansion has been mentioned.
Other features include an 8-migapixel (MP) camera, which can record in 1080p, and 2.1-MP front-facing camera.
To keep it simple, the 8S is the "simpler" version (S for simple). Features include 4-inch 800 x 400 Super LCD display. The processor is still the S4, but the device has 4-GB of onboard storage, and 512-MB of RAM.
It wasn't made clear whether the devices will support 4G LTE networks, but you almost assume they will at this point.
Shares of Nokia are down 0.5 percent Wednesday.
