HTC 8XT, Samsung ATIV S Neo prove Sprint hearts Windows Phone

Apparently looking to silence critics who think the carrier isn't friendly to Windows Phone, Sprint previews a pair of Microsoft-powered handsets coming later this summer.

Sprint and Microsoft today announced a pair of Windows Phone 8 handsets arriving soon which take full advantage of the carrier's Truly Unlimited 4G LTE service.

The HTC 8XT introduces the company's BoomSound to Windows Phone, integrating Beats Audio with dual front-facing stereo speakers and a dedicated amplifier audiophiles are sure to enjoy.

But HTC hasn't forgotten photo buffs either, with an 8-megapixel rear camera with autofocus, LED flash and f/2.0 aperture for great shots in any light, as well as a front-facing 1.6MP camera for video chat.

Also available this summer is the Samsung ATIV S Neo, powered by a 1.4GHz dual-core processor with 1GB RAM, microSD card slot, international roaming, a 2,000mAh removable battery and 4.8-inch HD display.

Samsung's latest device features ATIV Beam featuring near-field communication (NFC) between other Windows Phone 8 handsets and even select Android devices.

"With compelling hardware from HTC and Samsung, coupled with unlimited 4G LTE from Sprint, these Windows Phones will offer the complete package," promises Terry Myerson, corporate vice president, Microsoft Windows Phone Division.

Unfortunately, Sprint is playing coy on exactly when the handsets will actually ship beyond "this summer," but customers can pre-register for more details on the $99.99 HTC 8XT or $149.99 Samsung ATIV S Neo right now. (Prices after $50 mail-in rebate and with two-year agreement.)
