The Palo, Alto, Calif.-based company said the Pre 3 is designed for professionals, offering a 3.6-inch touch screen display and a powerful 1.4-gigahertz Snapdragon processor. It comes with 16- or 32-gigabytes of storage and will be available in the summer.
The Veer is a smaller, credit card-sized slider, offering much the same, albeit watered-down, features as the Pre 3, such as a 2.6-inch touch screen, 800-megahertz chip and 8-gigabytes of storage. The Veer will arrive in the early spring.
Both smartphones devices run HP's WebOS operating system, the platform it acquired from Palm in a $1.2 billion buyout. HP said it is currently in discussions with multiple carriers, but declined to provide any further details.
At the same event, HP also announced the TouchPad, its first WebOS tablet, featuring a 9.7-inch touch screen display and 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls.
