HTC unveils its new flagship smartphone the HTC One. The HTC One, previously rumoured to be called the HTC M7, is the Taiwanese manufacturer’s follow up smartphone to the HTC One X and HTC One X+.
The HTC One / M7 is expected to have a 4.7 Full HD (1920 x 1080) screen, powered by a 1.7GHz quad-core processor. This brings the new HTC flagship phone neatly inline with other big smartphone launches such as the Sony Xperia Z, Huawei Ascend D2 and ZTE Grand S.
Further rumoured specifications for the HTC M7 include 2GB of RAM, Android Jelly Bean with Sense 5.0, a 12Mp camera and 32GB of storage. See also HTC M7 flagship smartphone leaked online.
There are also rumours circulating that HTC will also launch two more devices today, the HTC G2 and HTC M4. The M4 will supposedly have a 4.3in screen, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 13Mp camera and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Meanwhile the G2 will have a 3.5in display, 1GHz processor and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
UnwiredView says the HTC M7 will be released a matter of weeks after MWC with a price tag in excess of $600 in the US. We’re probably talking £500+ in the UK.
HTC is following the growing trend by avoiding launching its smartphones at shows such as MWC (taking place in Barcelona next week). The reason for this seems to be that companies do not want their biggest launches of the year to have to fight for media attention alongside the hundreds of other product launches that happen at these events.
