HTC M7 pictures leaked out, resemble the Droid DNA

Looks like the pictures of the HTC M7, the supposed successor to the One X, have found their way into the open and they happen to look very similar to the Droid DNA. But of course, it is quite possible the images may not be the final ones and there’s a possibility the device might just exhibit a different look altogether.


Comparing the M7 by HTC to its predecessor, the home and multitasking key have seemingly switched places. Even the flash has taken a leap from the right hand side of the camera and landed onto the left. And presumably, the company has done away with the slight mound around the snapper. Users will notice the front-facing webcam however has decided to stay put on the top right corner.

The guys at Android Police seem a bit skeptical about the images being foolproof, considering the absence of the FCC logo along with certain product certification marks on the hardware. Apart from the phone’s pictures, their ‘tipster’ also managed to bag in some screenshots of the Sense 5.0 user interface.
What initially catches our attention is the clock widget, which is not the same as the company’s traditional time-indicator. It means if these images turn out to be the real deal, HTC may be opening up to certain changes. From the looks of it, the UI has included an all together different appearance with rectangular widgets.
There were some rumors doing the rounds about a month ago concerning the smartphone’s specifications. These spoke of a possible integration of the Android Jelly Bean OS, the Sense 5 UI, a quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.7GHz, 2GB of system memory, 32GB of flash storage and a 13MP camera. Out of these, information dealing with the user interface has hit some concrete ground, but news about the rest is still a mystery.





In any case, there is no saying whether the pictures of the HTC M7 are the final images or just another hoax. Since the handset is expected to launch this year, the full and final confirmation as well as the price and release date information should be making their way to the market soon and we intend to be around for delivering the news when that happens.

For now, take a look at the speculated specifications of the smartphone:

1.7GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor
Android Jelly Bean OS
4.7-inch full HD Solux touchscreen display
2GB of RAM
32GB inbuilt memory
13MP main and 2MP secondary cameras
2,300mAh battery
