The Tegra 3 processor contains four cores with a clock speed of 1.5 GHz, with a fifth core can be used for idle use.

The buttons betray that Android on the Edge runs. Furthermore, there should be support for new services from the Taiwanese manufacturer, such as the ability to e-books and music to buy. It would be a break with the past mean if the rumor is true: HTC used in recent years, only processors from Qualcomm. Only for Chinese providers, the networks used by processors from Qualcomm are not supported, the manufacturer has a different processor built-in: that was an Omap3 from Texas Instruments.

It is unknown in which countries HTC the device wants to release. Because a report is made of hsdpa support without lte, is it possible to have a European unit. However, it is likely that the manufacturer different variants were developed for both a Us and a European release.
