Anyone who has subscribed to the newsletter of HTC has probably been a little surprised yesterday morning when their inbox was graced by a mysterious teaser sent by the Taiwanese manufacturer. And just few hours later, a short and ambiguous tweet featuring the same image and tagged as #Powerof10 became the pinned post of the official HTC Twitter account.
As you may have already figured out yourself, there’s only one thing that this can mean. The HTC One M10 is coming. And because the Mobile World Congress 2016 was not the event to showcase the upcoming flagship coming from HTC, the press event scheduled to take place on April 11th in London will most likely be the moment of unveiling in the true sense of the word.
It was a little surprising to see that HTC chose to only showcase the Desire series at MWC 2016. While all the other manufacturers were quick on their feet to present their latest endeavors such as the Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5, HTC bid its time to give us this snippet of what suggests to be a shadowed outline of the next HTC One smartphone.
While there’s no telling if any other details regarding the HTC One M10 will make their way out of confidential confines and to the public until the press event in April, there are various rumors suggesting the juicy details of the next flagship of the company. Those include a 12 MP Sony IMX377 camera, featuring 1.55um lens, phase detection auto focus and a laser autofocus, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 quad-core processor that was showcased at CES 2016, 4 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB inbuilt storage options. Not to mention that it will come with pre-loaded Android 6.0.1 Marhsmallow – or a later iteration if it, depending on what is the final release date that HTC decides on.
The HTC One M10 is believed to be the rumored project Perfume that piqued the interest of fans all over the world back when it was first leaked. And now that we have an apparently innocent teaser image to work with, there’s a little more we can deduce from what we’ve got so far.
The image behind what is most probably going to be the slogan of the HTC One M10 – #Powerof10 – appears to look a lot like the edge of a phone. If you look closely, you can almost tell it’s metallic in build and chamfered around the edges. If we’re to observe closely, the edges appear to be in relief and a lot sharper than we’ve seen on a huge number of phones so far.
