The HTC X10 rumored to come in January, follows One X9

China received a special sub-flagship device from HTC early this year that was supposed to shore up what the One A9 could not. Apparently, the standard of success for the device was met and there now comes a second.

Rumors on the HTC X10 — maybe that phone in Russia we saw way earlier on — make it out to be a pretty decent device with a MediaTek Helio P10 processor (ironically not the Helio X10 found on the One X9), 3GB of RAM, a 5.5-inch full HD screen and a 13-megapixel main camera.

Given that this is a phone from HTC, we’d expect the X10 to be somewhat overpriced. Though, at a rumored ¥2,000 or $288, we’ll have to see more details first. We believe that this phone may come in January — well before a speculative HTC 11 and perhaps separate from a potential Under Armour gear showcase.
