HTC has given up on producing a large-screen Windows Phone-based smartphone, Bloomberg reports citing a source familiar with the project. The reasoning behind this decision lies in Windows Phone 8's maximum allowed screen resolution: 1280x720 pixels. HTC reportedly thinks that this is too low for a smartphone with a screen size larger than 5 inches, as competing Android models have a much larger resolution.
For comparison, HTC-made Verizon Droid DNA (also known as HTC J Butterfly) has a 5-inch screen with a 1920×1080 pixel resolution.
Another reason for the decision could be HTC's dwindling market share. According to comScore's latest report, the company's smartphone market share in the U.S. fell to 6% in October 2012. Struggling to regain its position in the smartphone market, HTC probably wants to focus on devices that offer the most to consumers.
Can 5-inch Windows Phone 8 smartphones, with their maximum allowed resolution of 1280x780, compete with similarly sized Android models? Share your thoughts in the comments.
