Well here’s something interesting. Turns out the upcoming HTC Desire 310, that was accidently unveiled on HTC’s website, might sport a stock Android experience along with BlinkFeed. The above screenshots were posted by miyachiki on Weibo, and HTC Source is saying this will be the norm for all HTC devices with MediaTek processors moving forward.
Nothing was mentioned about HTC’s upcoming flagship, the M8 or HTC One 2. Obviously that device won’t sport a MediaTek, but one has to wonder why HTC would go with two different UI’s moving forward? It could be because of hardware limitations, but I have to also point out that the upcoming Desire 310 will sport on screen buttons, which is what the HTC One successor will also sport. Could HTC go in this same direction with the HTC One successor?
The last piece of the puzzle is that the Desire 310 is running Android 4.2.2 and the HTC One successor is expected to run KitKat. We already know that 4.2.2 builds for higher-end HTC devices do not have this stock experience, so this information would lead us to believe that HTC is indeed working on two different UIs.
The HTC One successor probably won’t offer a lot more over the original as it’s expected to have a very similar design. Sure, it will have slightly better specs and possibly a dual rear camera lens, but there probably won’t be anything that compelling to sway more people to HTC this year. Would a stock Android experience change that?
Well I guess time will tell, but we can wish right?
