Earlier this week, Specs leaked on a new HTC handset, code named the Omega, and it may be HTC’s Mango phone, or one of them any way. I do believe HTC will bring it to the Mango Release of Windows Phone, just like they did with the original release. There’s a theme starting to emerge though, a 1.5GHz single-core MSM 8255 snapdragon processor. Some sort of Adreno GPU, 220 or 205, and 512 Mb of Ram and above. HTC may be taking a conservative approach with Mango. Sticking with single core processors in favour of battery life. Windows Phone, as good as it is, is power hungry, and I would say all the OEM’s, are thinking about this as well.
HTC Omega comes pre-installed with Windows Phone 7 ‘Mango’ OS, sporting a 3.8-inch S-LCD touchscreen display, powered by a 1.5GHz single-core MSM 8255 processor with 512MB RAM. It comes equipped with an 8-megapixel camera with LED flash, Bluetooth, GPS/aGPS, 802.11 Wi-Fi b/g/n connectivity, FM radio, 3.5mm headset jack, 16GB of on board storage, powered by a Li-Ion battery, Accelerometer, G-Sensor, and a whole host of Mango and the carrier services

While some of the specs seem familiar, and design wise, expect o see a device similar to the Mozart or the Trophy in looks and size. There’s no render to show you, and the full specs on the Omega, whatever it looks like, seems like it will be one of the lower end budget, next generation “Mango” Windows Phones. When five of the ten first generation Windows phones, the Arrive, HD7, Mozart, Trophy and Surround, it would only make sense that they bring the same sort of range to the Mango update as well. I find myself wondering as well, is the Omega the younger sibling of the HTC Mazaa?, or the same phone with the specs mixed up.
The Omega whatever it is, will be a step up from the current range from HTC, and I look forward to late August, early September to see how this device pans out!
