HTC 8XT and Samsung ATIV S Neo announced by Sprint

Sprint on Wednesday unveiled two new Windows Phones ahead of Microsoft’s annual Build conference, which kicks off later in the day. The HTC 8XT sheds the “Windows Phone” from its name, though its design appears very similar to the “HTC Windows Phone 8X” that launched last year. The phone adds dual front-facing “BoomSound” speakers, however, and specs include an 8-megapixel camera, a 1.4GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, microSDHC support and a 4.3-inch display, The 8XT will cost $99.99 on contract when it launches this summer.

Complementing the 8XT in Sprint’s upcoming lineup is the Samsung ATIV S Neo, another Windows Phone from Samsung that sports a wonderfully forgettable name. Key specs include a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, microSDHC support, a 4.8-inch HD display and a 2,000 mAh battery. The ATIV S Neo will cost $149.99 on contract and it also launches later this summer.
