A number of recent rumours are all suggesting that HTC’s next flagship smartphone will be the HTC M7. Another round of rumours today has painted a fairly complete picture of what we can expect from this device. The latest specification details come courtesy of both @Football4PDA and HTCSource. They align very well with earlier rumours. Here is what we can expect:
- Processor: 1.7GHz Qualcomm S4 APQ8064
- Operating system: Google Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean with HTC Sense 5.0
- Cellular connectivity: GSM/EDGE/HSPA+/LTE
- Other connectivity: GPS/GLONASS, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0
- Display: 4.7-inch Full HD (1920×1080)
- Input: Capacitive touchscreen with software buttons
- Memory: 2GB RAM
- Storage: 16/32/64GB onboard
- Rear-facing camera: 13MP possibly with Sony IMX135 Exmor RS sensor
- Front-facing camera: 2.1MP
- Battery: 2,300mAh
- Other: Beats Audio
The specifications may be tweaked a bit before the announcement. For example, it could be updated to Android 4.2 before launch.
The design of the HTC M7 is said to carry a number of same design cues as the Verizon DROID DNA. It will be all black and sport a “very nice looking beveled edge” along the screen.”
Rumours paint a conflicting picture as to when the HTC M7 will be announced. It could happen as early as CES 2013 or at MWC 2013 in late February. HTC is aiming for a first quarter launch. It could be headed to at least two U.S. carriers (Sprint and Verizon) and perhaps all four major ones.
