All You Need To Know About The New HTC One+ Or HTC M8

With roughly one week until HTC formally unwraps its next-gen the new HTC One, more details on the smartphone have leaked. This time, instead of dealing with hardware details, the leak du jour focuses on the software experience. More specifically, we're looking at the Sense 6.0 custom interface.

A video which surfaced today shows a redesigned interface featuring a stripped-down approach, with "flat" icons and a new design language. What's more, Sense 6.0 could include motion gesture controls for launching apps, as well as other shortcut functions. Assuming the video is correct, it's unclear whether the Sense experience in this unofficial clip is final, or if HTC is still tweaking the software.

The video has no accompanying audio, but does show you screen by screen all the phone’s key features, such as: a 5-inch full HD display, a quad-core 2.3 GHz Snapdragon processor, two rear cameras, a dual-LED flash and upgraded BoomSound speakers.
HTC is holding a press conference March 25 to officially unveil the phone, but you can get your first glimpse here.

The anticipated HTC M8 appears again and this time we get to see its face from another fresh round of leaked shots.

If you’re expecting an all new design, you could be disappointed as HTC has pretty much retained a lot of design similarities of its current HTC One. The notable difference is the departure of capacitive home and back buttons as the M8 will be using on-screen buttons instead.

The 2 leaked pics from a Russian website also reveals a collapsible on-screen buttons which can be either shown or hidden away when not required, probably through swiping from the edge. The awesome Boom Sound front facing stereo speakers appears to be retained as well with the similar looking grill design.

In terms of naming, the new HTC M8 is speculated to be called HTC One 2 or HTC One+. To the naked eye, the new model may look like an incremental upgrade like the HTC One X to the One X+.

In reality, the M8 is more than just a model refresh as it will feature a larger 5″ display that’s possibly doing QHD (2560×1440) and runs on a current Snapdragon 800 processor.

Bloomberg’s sources say the screen will measure at least 5 inches diagonally and will feature a similar design to last year’s well-reviewed HTC One. The twin sensors will improve the camera’s focus, depth of field, and image quality.

"Twin sensors on the rear of the new handset will provide better focus, depth of field and image quality, the person said. An improved version of HTC’s Ultrapixel camera will be featured in the device, the person said."

Based on the leaked case, the fingerprint scanner will be on the back, above the camera, and users will have to swipe their finger across the glass on the back.

The HTC One’s successor is also rumored to have a quad-core 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU and will ship with Android 4.4 KitKat. Thankfully, the next HTC One won’t be called the HTC One 2. Instead, it will be called the HTC One+, says PhoneArena.

HTC Corp. (2498) plans a March release for the latest version of its HTC One smartphone featuring a larger screen and twin-sensor rear camera, according to a person with direct knowledge of the plans.

There are plenty of leaks and rumors at the moment regarding the upcoming successor to the HTC One. This has been variously dubbed the HTC One 2, the HTC Two, HTC One+ and HTC M8 so you can take your pick at the moment regarding its actual name.

"The HTC One is one of our favourite device in 2013 and hopefully the new Ultrapixel camera on the M8 would perform better. With the MWC 2014 happening next month, it could be likely that HTC would be launching the device there."
