HTC Launches New Super-Phone, but Will It Sell?

The world's next super-phone is here: an ultra-dense display, a nimble new CPU, plus a cutting edge camera. And nobody is going to buy it. At least, if history repeats itself. Rewind to last year, when HTC's ONE X came out with the specs to meet or beat Samsung's flagship SIII. Two weeks into 2013, Samsung says its shipped just over 40 million SIIIs. HTC couldn't get us a number in time for publication, but a rough estimate puts it at five million.
