Eldar Murtazin’s been at it again. The infamous leaker has got his hands on another top-secret handset. This one’s so top-secret it doesn’t even have a name. Well, not an official one, but Murtazin’s gone for the HTC ‘Mazaa’, no I don’t like it either, but for the sake of the blog we’ll roll with it.
The leak (to your left) doesn’t give a hell of a lot away other than the fact that there’s a new WP7 Mango OS running HTC smartphone on the way. We could have guessed that was on its way, but what the leak does show us is that HTC are going down the Nokia N8 route.
I’m talking a professional 12 megapixel camera. Is there a market for a Windows Phone 7, professional camera, HTC Smartphone? They’re all marketable qualities individually, but together, who knows? You’ve got to trust HTC though after their massive success in the Android market.
There have been some amazing results from the N8’s camera that really do show the full potential of the camera phone, so this mystery new HTC probably won’t be the only smartphone this year that brings a 12 megapixel camera into the mix.
What’s going to help the ‘Mazza’ stand out is its RAW file format capability. A function usually reserved for high-end cameras, not phones.
