14 DAY TRIAL // Although some of us are used to getting all the important flagship smartphones at Mobile World Congress, there's one handset maker that won't give in to the unspoken rule.
HTC is expected to unveil its next flagship device, the One M10, only after the trade fair taking place later this month in Barcelona, Spain. A concrete release date hasn't been set yet, but there's a high chance that HTC One M10 will be unveiled by the end of Q1.
The good news is we already know quite a few details about the phone's specs and, thanks to @evleaks, what the One M10 will look like.
A live picture of the alleged HTC One M10, or a prototype unit that looks close to the final version, has been recently published by @evleaks.
The smartphone doesn't look like any other HTC flagships launched in the past, so the One M10 marks a new change in design for the Taiwanese handset maker.
The picture doesn't come with any additional information on the phone's specs, price or availability, but as mentioned earlier, we already know quite a bit.
Naturally, take this information with a grain of salt until HTC reveals the smartphone, but for now, here is what sources familiar with the company's flagship plans have to say about the One M10.
Quad HD display and Snapdragon 820 CPU inside
First of all, the smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor, coupled with an Adreno 530 graphics processing unit and 4GB of RAM. HTC One M10 will pack 32GB of internal memory that can be expanded via microSD card slot.
Also, the One M10 should boast a 5.1-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that supports Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution. HTC has decided to add a physical Home button, which will hide the fingerprint sensor.
The device will ship with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow operating system right out of the box, but rumor has it that HTC One M10 will not include BoomSound speakers anymore.
Last but not least, the flagship is said to come with a 12-UltraPixel rear-facing camera with laser-assisted autofocus, LED flash and OIS (optical image stabilization).
