HTC DLX X920E, HTC 8X and HTC 8S Launch Date In China Falls On December 6th

(GSM Insider) - China is one of the main market for HTC. So the launch of HTC devices in Chinese is imminent. HTC set to bring its latest devices - HTC 8X and HTC 8S to China very soon.

According to local retailers, they received the notifications from HTC regarding the upcoming HTC devices that going to launch in China. Surprisingly, one device is going to launch as well - HTC DLX X920E. 

The image is the notifications that received by local retailers. If you understand the Chinese language, Im sure you are able to understand what it said. 

"All the bosses, HTC new product X920E expect to launch on December 6th, 2012. It has Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on board, dual-core, 2GB of RAM, 5 inch of display with 1080p Full HD resolution and waterproof.  It is the first HTC device with waterproof"

From the image, there are some doubts on it. Why the HTC DLX X920E is not a quad-core device but just a dual-core device? So it might not feature a Snapdragon S4 pro processor. 

This HTC DLX X920E might name as HTC Butterfly after another variant HTC DLX X920d spotted in Indonesia. The HTC DLX X920E already approved by local Chinese authorities since beginning of this month. 

Together with this HTC DLX X920E, HTC set to launch its Windows Phone 8 devices the HTC 8X and 8S as well.
