Taiwanese Smartphone major HTC, despite recording average sales from its previous Windows Phone 8X and Windows Phone 8S models, said it will launch another Windows-based handset this year.

Now, a leaked spec sheet of HTC's Windows smartphone, code-named 'Tiara'. has surfaced online.

Technology website, Unwired View, revealed that 'HTC Tiara' will be the first smartphone in the industry to feature updated Windows Phone 8 mobile operating system.

Leaked Specifications of HTC Tiara Include:

Taking note of THE above specs, HTC Tiara seems to be a mid-ranged smartphone with features very much similar to the company's earlier 'HTC One SV' model albeit the Android mobile operating system. HTC One S is shown to have a 4.3-inch super LCD 2 display and also packs a 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage capacity.

The spec sheet also points out that HTC Tiara may have an improved 8.0-megapixel main camera. HTC One SV, in comparison, sports a 5.0-megapixel camera.

Considering the earlier launch timeline of Windows-based HTC smartphones in history, HTC Tiara is expected to hit stores by mid-May.
