HTC One M10

Update – March 02, 2016 – The name One M10 has been confirmed, not official, however it has been reported to be found from a drop-down list of devices in an HTC online survey form, taking HTC's flagship line into double digits.

Update – February 27, 2016 – 2016 Mobile World Congress has come to an end. Samsung, LG, Sony and several manufacturers unveiled their latest products.

HTC, however, wasn't a part of it. But, that doesn't mean they were going to sit quietly. On the last day of MWC, HTC sent an email to several publications with a subtle hint to their next flagship, the One M10. The image just said 'Power of 10'.

The silhouette looks a lot like the back of the device, notice the chamfered edges. A recently leaked picture showed the back of what's supposedly the HTC One M10. A new leaked photo claims to reveal the back portion of the HTC One M10.

Update – February 24, 2016 – A new leaked photo claims to reveal the back portion of the HTC One M10. Up until now, we've only been seeing the front face of the M10. This new photo doesn't show the entire back, only the top portion that has the camera.

The photo shows that the One M10 will be an all metal phone, but will feature some design changes. The back is slightly curved and the edges are chamfered. There's a 3.5mm headphone jack on top and volume buttons are on the left. The camera is seen to be slightly protruding, has a dual-tone LED flash and what looks like a sensor for auto-focus.

Update: Feb 19, 2016 – We're going to see two new flagship devices next week, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the LG G5. However, there's another flagship smartphone that consumers are eager for, the HTC One M10.

Recently, Evan Blass had leaked a picture of a black One M10 in the wild. It confirmed a lot of rumors, such as no Boomsound Stereo speakers and a rounded home button. It also seemed to have lost the HTC branding on the front of the device.

Now, Blass has leaked another picture showing a white M10. It's still a front view of the device, which means we have no idea what the back or side will look like.

HTC One M10 Updated Specs and Release Date

Previously, leaked information had revealed that the upcoming HTC One M10 would feature a 5.1-inch QHD display. However, the latest leak from @ALlabTooFer suggests that the M10 would have a 5.2-inch QHD display. Yup, a small .2 inches bump from the HTC One M9.

Regarding the HTC One M10 release date, it appears that the company may be planning for a special event sometime in April. Most likely, the event will be held on April 11 in London.

HTC One M10 Image Leaks

Evan Blass, who gave us the official Samsung Galaxy S7 press renders, has now revealed an in-the-wild photo of the upcoming HTC One M10 'Perfume'.

The new leaked image confirms a lot of rumors, especially the one that said that the One M10 will look a lot like the One A9. It does indeed. Another significant change, as it appears, is the removal of the black HTC branding strip that's been a common sight on all HTC smartphones.

Also, the Home button is now of an oval design, similar to the One A9, and looks to have a fingerprint sensor as well. There's also no BoomSound speakers, and it looks awfully similar to the iPhone 6.

An unknown source has leaked new HTC One M10 specs, and it reveals some new features of the 2016 flagship smartphone.

Recently, a leak stated that the One M10 will look similar to the One A9 and be available at AT&T. Now, a more detailed report talks about the features and specs of the upcoming smartphone.

The new report comes from VentureBeat, who received information regarding HTC One M10 specs from someone who spent some time with a prototype device. Apparently, the device will be called Perfume, but will be sold in stores under the name One M10.

HTC One M10 Specs

The device will feature a 5.1 inch 1440 x 2560 QHD display with AMOLED technology. It would run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with Sense 8.0 UI on top. The device would also have a fingerprint sensor embedded into the home button. Yes, there will be a home button.

So far, it looks like the HTC One M10 will indeed look very much like the One A9. In terms of hardware, the device will feature Snapdragon 820 processor with Adreno 530 graphics. It would have 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, which would be expandable via a microSD slot.

The person who used the prototype couldn't speak much on the device as there are chances that it would be changed to the final product. He also revealed some other details such as the camera.

According to the source, HTC will use its Ultrapixel tech on the new M10. They introduced the new Ultrapixel camera with the HTC One M8, but it didn't do so well. Hence, they switched to a regular 20-megapixel sensor on the M9. With the M10, the company will use a 12 Ultrapixel camera with laser autofocus. It would also have optical image stabilization. The front facing camera, megapixels unknown, will also include OIS.

There is some disappointing news, though, as HTC will not be including the famous BoomSound speakers on the new M10. No front facing stereo speakers, which will surely anger all the HTC One M fans out there.

The device will most likely not be at Mobile World Congress this year. HTC will launch the device at a later date with a particular event.  No details have been shared regarding the smartphone's pricing. What do you think of the HTC One M10 specs? Will this be a hit among the fans? 

Update: Jan 28, 2016 – The HTC One M10, the successor to the current M9, is apparently coming to AT&T and will look a lot like the HTC One A9.

Reports from last year stated that HTC's next flagship will be called Perfume and that it would be running on Android 6.1 and HTC Sense 8.0 UI. The device was said to feature a 6 inch 1440 x 2560 resolution display, Snapdragon 820 SoC, 4GB RAM, 20.7 mp rear cameras, 5mp front camera and a 3500mAh battery.

All the HTC One M10 specs sound good, but the only thing the company has to change is its rumored name, Perfume. That's not really a nice name for a smartphone, don't you think?

The latest report suggests that the HTC One M10 will feature a design similar to the HTC One A9. The One A9 was accused of blatantly copying the iPhone 6 design. It does look very similar to the iPhone 6 if kept face down. So, if you liked the look of the A9, you might also like the upcoming One M10.

Major smartphone leak expert,[email protected], had tweeted a picture showing the HTC Perfume codename in an AT&T database. This confirms that AT&T will be getting the new HTC flagship, but that shouldn't be a surprise. He followed with another tweet stating, 'If you like the A9, you'll love the M10.' So, yeah, it's pretty much confirmed that the One M10 will feature a design similar to the One A9.

Other One M10 features likely include a fingerprint sensor, front-facing BoomSound speakers, and IP68 water-resistance certification. A MediaTek powered M10 would also be launched for the Asian market.

HTC One M10 Release Date

All U.S carriers will most likely sell the new One M10 as soon as it's launched. The only thing that's not confirmed now is the One M10 release date. Reports suggest that HTC will not unveil the smartphone at MWC in February, but instead release the handset in March.

Will you be upgrading to the HTC One M10 this year or will you stick with the M9?
