HTC is there at the launch of Microsoft’s new mobile OS, as a hardware partner. And they’ve presented five new handsets. Let’s check them out.

HTC 7 Mozart – 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8250, 3.7-inch 480 x 800, 8GB internal storage, comes with 8-Megapixel camera with Auto Focus and Xenon flash, capable of 720P recording. Will be coming to Orange (France and UK), Deutsche Telekom, and Telstra (Australia).

HTC 7 Surround (aka Mondrian or T8788 in some country) – 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8250, 3.8-inch 480 x 800, 16GB internal storage, comes with 5-Megapixel camera with Auto Focus and LED flash, capable of 720P recording. Design wise, slides up to reveal an integrated speaker. Coming to AT&T in US. No mention of other carrier outside of US.

HTC 7 Pro – 1GHz (no mention of what processor, but should be the identical Qualcomm MSM8250), 3.6-inch 480 x 800, 16GB internal storage, comes with 5-Megapixel camera with Auto Focus and LED flash, capable of 720P recording. It’s the only one with a slide-up Full QWERTY keyboard. Coming to Sprint in US. No mention of other carrier outside of US.

HTC 7 Trophy (aka Spark in some country) – 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8250, 3.8-inch 480 x 800, 8GB internal storage, comes with 5-Megapixel camera with Auto Focus and LED flash, capable of 720P recording. Coming to SFR (France), Vodafone (Australia, Germany, Spain and UK).

HTV HD7 (aka Schubert in some country) – 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8250, 4.3-inch 480 x 800, optional 8GB or 16GB internal storage, comes with 5-Megapixel camera with Auto Focus, but dual-LED flash, unlike the others’ single LED. Also capable of 720P recording. Coming to T-Mobile (US), O2 (UK and Germany), Movistar (Spain), SingTel (Singapore).

In summary, all HTC 7 phones come with 1GHz processor, which should be the Qualcomm MSM8250 for all, but is unconfirmed for the 7 Pro. They may vary in size, a tenth of the size, but all of them come with resolution of 480 x 800. Nothing to shout about if compared to Apple’s Retina display. The HD7 seemed to be the only one in giant size, over 4-inch, while the rest is under 4-inch. Camera wise, most would come in 5-Megapixel in standard, except for the Mozart which comes in 8-Megapixel. This shows that their spec difference isn’t very big, which only differentiates each other through designs, like slide up QWERTY, or unibody aluminium design, or the typical ones.
