Dual-SIM HTC E1 available to pre-order in China

The HTC E1 has Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on board with an update to Android 4.2 later this year. The handset has Sense 4+, a 4.3-inch WVGA Super LCD2 display, dual-SIM capabilities, a dual-core Qualcomm CPU (clocked at 1.15GHz according to the official spec sheet), 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage and a microSD slot. It also has a 5MP rear shooter, a 2.1MP front facing shooter and Beats Audio.

The new smartphone is currently available for pre-order on HTC China’s official website. At the time of this writing, only a white model is available and there’s no telling if it’ll come in black somewhere down the line. The HTC E1 is a device made for China, so we probably won’t see it coming to any other countries, especially if the Taiwanese based company is having issues with component shortages.

Are you planning on getting an HTC E1 or are you waiting for the HTC’s new flagship, the One, to arrive?
