More rumors pop up of HTC's Windows RT tablets


HTC is already a Microsoft partner for Windows Phone devices.

In December, rumors about two upcoming tablets from HTC that would run Windows RT started showing up on the Internet. Today, another article, citing unnamed sources, claims to have more information about the hardware inside those unannounced tablets.

PhoneArena.com claims that the tablets have the codenamed R7 and R12. The R7 tablet, according to the article, will have a 7-inch full HD screen with a 2.3 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. It's also supposed to have 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage, along with a 13 megapixel rear camera and a microSD slot for extra storage.

The article claims the hardware specs for the R12 will be largely the same as the R7 but inside a big 12-inch tablet with support for display resolutions of up to 2048×1536. The article claims that both tablets will launch October 13. Pricing for the tablets was not mentioned.

In a recent interview, a Qualcomm executive confirmed that the processor company is working with new OEMs on having their chips inside upcoming Windows RT tablets, but declined to state specific company names. He added that Qualcomm is still "very optimistic with the future of Win RT."
