A major highlight is the handset's wide 2.1Mp front-facing camera, which will capture up to four people in a frame and supports 1080p video. An 8Mp snapper can be found on the rear.

Meanwhile, the HTC Windows Phone 8S drops specs down to a 4in display protected by the original Gorilla Glass, a 1GHz dual-core S4 chip, 512MB of Ram, 4GB of storage and a 5Mp camera.
