acclaimed flagship phone, HTC One,
has surfaced online. Codenamed, M4,
the mid-range variant of the phone
follows the same design language that
we've seen in the One, although it's
not known if it will also use the same
materials. It also features two
speaker grills on the front and comes
with Beats audio.
The images of the phone were brought
to public domain by the notorious
Evleaks who also informs that the
phone would sport a 4.3-inch 720p
screen, and will be powered by a dual-
core processor, unlike the One's quad-
core CPU. It will have 2GB RAM and
the same Ultrapixel camera that
featured in the HTC One ( Review |
Pictures).It will house a 1700mAh
non-removable battery and offer
16GB of internal memory.
The report indicates that the phone
will ship towards the end of the second
quarter with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
It's not the first time that the
existence of the M4 has been
suggested. In February, with the M7
or HTC One leaks, Evleaks had
indicated that HTC was working on
two other phones, namely the M4 and
G2. Evleaks had said that the M4 was
a premium smartphone, which would
be one notch below the HTC M7 and
will come with a 1.2GHz dual-core
Snapdragon SoC running Android 4.2
(Jelly Bean), along with Sense 5.0. He
had also confirmed the other
specifications including LTE support.
The G2 meanwhile is rumoured to be
an entry-level device with a 3.5-inch
screen with HVGA display, 512MB
RAM and a 5-megapixel camera. This
smartphone is touted to have a 1GHz
processor and run Android 4.0 (Ice
Cream Sandwich).
Evleaks' leaks have mostly turned out
to be reliable, so it's likely that we
might hear about the new phone from
HTC soon. It will be interesting to see
HTC follow Samsung's footsteps and
introduce mid-range variants of
flagships. Samsung is reportedly going
to launch the Galaxy S4 mini, a mid-
range variant of its flagship
smartphone, Galaxy S4.
