HTC reveals cut-price One M8 Windows Phone device

The handset maker HTC has unveiled a new smartphone that runs a Windows Phone operating system.

The modified One M8 is being sold at roughly half the price of the same handset running Google's Android.

This is the first time the struggling manufacturer has released a Windows smartphone in more than two years.

One analyst said the new device was "almost certainly financially supported" by Microsoft, in an attempt to gain a foothold in the US market.

The new phone, which comes with Windows Phone 8.1 pre-installed, is available exclusively through US network provider Verizon.

When bought with a 24 month contract, it is priced at $99 (£60), approximately 50% cheaper than the Android One M8.•••
