Recent reports have hinted at the possibility that HTC may be aiming to get back on track following a slump that has affected sales of its devices recently. The company will reportedly release its next Android-powered flagship smartphone soon, the HTC M7.

Although the HTC Droid DNA only made its appearance in the market recently, the rumored HTC M7 may give the company the boost it needs to get back its share of the market. In addition to the rumored HTC M7, a questionnaire recently hinted at the upcoming release of the latest Windows Phone 8-powered smartphone of the company, the HTC Titan III.

Unnamed sources of HTC Source have indicated that the rumored HTC M7 will reportedly feature a quad-core S4 Pro processor from Qualcomm, five-inch HD screen display with a resolution of 1920 by 1080, and a 13MP camera. Since it will reportedly be the next Android-powered flagship of the company, it is expected to run the latest Android OS version.

Reports have hinted at the possibility that the HTC M7 will be released in the first quarter of 2013 with an initial supply of around five million units.

Although HTC normally unveils its flagship smartphones during the Mobile World Congress, it may launch the HTC M7 earlier if it aims to make it available in the first quarter of next year. This means it may be unveiled during the Consumer Electronics Show, which is schedule to be held from January 8 to January 11.

However the company may not be ready to unveil the HTC M7 since it does not appear to have an exhibitor booth at the CES.

If HTC aims for a running start in the coming year, it may be advisable for the company to rethink its marketing strategy for the HTC M7 in order to go up against one of the biggest Android device manufacturer from South Korea.

Following the announcement that the HTC 8S will not be offered in the US market, it appears that HTC is set to offer another Windows Phone 8 smartphone in the US. A recent survey on Xbox Live Rewards has inadvertently leaked an upcoming Windows Phone 8 device from HTC, the HTC Titan III.

The supposed HTC Titan III smartphone, which will reportedly be offered through AT&T soon, was found in the list of a monthly questionnaire.

The questionnaire reportedly asked for the excitement level of survey participants if they will receive some handsets. The choices in this particular question included the Nokia Lumia 920, Droid Razr Maxx HD, Galaxy S3, iPhone 5 and the HTC Titan III.

The leaked question that included the HTC Titan III resulted to speculations that the upcoming smartphone may be the HTC Zenith. Earlier reports revealed that the HTC Zenith, or what is already called the HTC Titan III by industry watchers, will feature a quad-core processor, 4.7-inch Super LCD display, eight-megapixel camera, NFC and HSPA+ support.

The HTC Zenith was initially touted to become a part of a line of HTC devices together with the HTC Rio. However, the HTC Rio later became the HTC 8S Windows Phone device. Another smartphone that was supposed to be included in the line of smartphones was the HTC Accord, which became the HTC 8X.

The HTC 8S and HTC 8X were released on time, however the HTC Zenith or the HTC Titan III may not see the light of day until after this year.

The HTC Titan III is expected to be officially unveiled during the Consumer Electronics Show, which is around one year after the HTC Titan II was launched by the company.

Industry watchers also expect the HTC Titan III to be released through AT&T, although it remains uncertain if the mobile service provider that offered the HTC Titan II will also offer its upcoming successor.
