HTC drops a few visual teasers for tomorrow's launch

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

HTC is doing a real good job at generating some hype and excitement leading into tomorrow's launch event in New York.  From the images above, which were shared on Twitter, @HTC. it seems to be focusing on new camera technology, earlier reported to be a multi-camera Ultrapixel set-up. There's also some hint to improved audio capabilities which are expected given HTC is heavy on the Beats trip. Then there's a foreshadowing of a chiseled metal enclosure. What else are we expecting, a new and improved HTC Sense overlay, a 4.7-inch 1080p HD display, 2GB of RAM and most likely a spanking new mobile processor. All will be revealed tomorrow.

HTC's flagship M7 smartphone makes another pre-launch appearance as the HTC ONE

 

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Above is another render of the rumoured HTC M7 (now said to be renamed HTC ONE) flagship smartphone which we first saw a month ago.

Shared on Twitter by @Evleaks, the new render is more refined than the previous image and gives us a better idea of the updated Sense UI. In terms of design, this seems like quite a stunning handset. A large glass display surrounced by metal at the top and bottom. The edges or chamfers seems to have been precision cut (not unlike the iPhone 5 and the iPad mini). The overall all look reminds me of the white iPhone 5 and the white BlackBerry Z10. Interesting to see that so many handset makers are now going for this look. Another curious but telling detail is the February 19 date on the screen which is when HTC has an actual event in New York. I'll be on hand at that event covering it live so we'll get the details on whatever HTC has in store.
