High-end devices including Samsung Galaxy S3, Nokia Lumia 920, HTC One X+, iPhone 5 and more sporting 720p displays were the talk of the town last year. However smartphones flaunting stunning HD 1080p displays seem to become the trend in 2013. Moreover, with the addition of heavyweight specifications including the integration of Quad Core processors, the tech arena is set on fire.

 

In late 2012, the Taiwanese tech giant came up with Droid DNA and J Butterfly that were region specific and the international variant of the 5 inch 1080p handset - Butterfly. A couple of months later, the company has also launched a full HD 1080p display incorporated 4.7 inch smartphone - HTC One.

The global rollout of HTC One is scheduled to happen from March 2013 and it has been announced that in India Reliance Communications (RCom) will be releasing the handset. However, there is no information on when exactly HTC One will be released or on its pricing.

Launching with RCom means that the telco will offer data and other benefits to the buyers of HTC One. It is also believed that the smartphone will be an unlocked variant supporting other network.

As it is already mentioned that HTC has used Sense 5 UI in One and it comes with highly innovative and interesting features including BlinkFeed, Zoe, BoomSound and Sense Voice for enhanced user experience. Also, it will have Beats Audio integration as the other HTC smartphones available in the market.

Reports are also rife that soon the global smartphone arena will also witness Xperia Z release. Moreover, it is widespread that Samsung will be launching a 5 inch 1080p handset - Galaxy S4 in March and LG is also rumored to come up with Optimus G2 with 5 inch 1080p display soon.

With a slew of handsets based hitting the market, it is definite that to win over each other in the smartphone race, manufacturers will have to try to come out with models boasting vivid displays and beefier specifications.
