From the look of things, HTC doesn’t seem to be working on a flagship at the moment. First, it kicked off the year with the launch of the upper-mid range HTC U11 Eyes. Just a few days ago, another mid-range HTC phone, this time powered by the Snapdragon 625, was seen on Geekbench. Today, specs of an entry level phone codenamed HTC Breeze has been leaked online by Evan Blass.

According to @evleaks, the phone’s promising feature is its 5.5” 18:9 aspect ratio. The HTC Breeze will be powered by an unnamed MediaTek processor, have 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage.

Its rear camera is said to be a 13MP sensor while a 5MP sensor graces the front. It will also pack a 2730mAh non-removable battery. While he doesn’t mention the version of Android, we expect it to be Android 8.0 Oreo.

There is no info regarding the design of the HTC Breeze and what name it will be called. Nevertheless, we won’t be surprised if it features the same double glass design as previous releases and also bears the “U” name.

We don’t think HTC’s decision to release an entry-level smartphone is a bad idea but what we hope for is a price that matches the specs of the phone.
