HTC Exec Promises ‘Huge Surprises’ In 2015

HTC Exec Promises 

‘Huge Surprises’ In 2015

We expect to see a lot of interesting new devices and technology in 2015. The new year has already arrived in several countries around the world so now we start counting down the days until we get to see some new stuff. An executive from HTC took to Twitter a while back to raise some hype about the company’s 2015 roadmap, saying that it brings some “huge surprises.”

The executive in question is Jeff Gordon, the senior global online communications manager at HTC. He tweeted today that HTC’s 2015 roadmap is going to be “our best ever,” and that the aforementioned surprises “will blow you away.”

“I can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on!,” says Gordon in another tweet, without giving up any hints about the products that the Taiwanese manufacturer will be showing off in 2015.

So there’s no official word as yet about the roadmap. Doesn’t matter, we’ll always have rumors. First off a new Desire handset is expected to be unveiled at CES 2015. Its probably going to be a mid-range device limited to certain markets around the globe.

What many are waiting for is the HTC Hima, the successor to HTC One (M8). Specifications of this smartphone have already leaked online multiple times, even if they’re not accurate, they paint a good picture of what we can expect from the next HTC flagship.

The Sense 7 user interface update from HTC is likely going to arrive around May. It is not bundled with the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the company’s devices, this is something that will certainly interest HTC device owners. A whole new look and feel for their devices.

That’s pretty much all that has been rumored for HTC’s 2015 lineup. We’ll just have to wait on the company to make official announcements, and wow us with products that haven’t been rumored yet, if it has any of them up its sleeve that is.

New HTC One M8 Max Leaked Review

New HTC One M8 Max Leaked Review

  These specs sound like a smartphone fanatic's dream. The rumor also suggests that the phone is made up of an alloy consisting of aluminum and silicon carbide. Android L will be installed out of the box, with HTC's Sense 6.5 running on top. It appears that the fingerprint sensor that was found on the back of last year's HTC One max, has been scratched by HTC. 

  The HTC One (M8) max has a lot of competition with the Apple iPhone 6 Plus, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and LG G3 all offering similar specs. But it might be best for HTC to take on these big guns and hope that the design of the device can carry it through.

HTC One M8 Max

  Although the release time frame of HTC's rumored One M8 Max phablet's is still a mystery, it appears the device is going to be one monster phablet if the latest specs leak is true.

  A new report from Chinese website MyDrivers (via BGR) has revealed the purported device for a 5.5-inch 2K display, Snapdragon 805 quad-core 2.7MHz processor, 3GB of RAM, 3,000mAh battery, an 18-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and Android L. 

  As BGR notes, these specs are very similar to those previously leaked for what was being dubbed the HTC One M8 Prime, which the Taiwanese tech giant reportedly decided to suspend indefinitely earlier this year.

  No matter the name it releases with, a device with these specs would surely become a legitimate competitor to the market's current phablet lineup, including Apple's new iPhone 6 Plus and Samsung's Galaxy Note 4.

  Trusted leaker @evleaks previously reported that HTC is planning on launching an M9 and M9 Prime in early 2015, with the M9 serving as the direct follow-up to the M8 and the M9 Prime packing the rumored specs improvements tied to the M8 Prime, plus whatever else HTC comes up with.

  However, @evleaks does make the interesting claim that the M9 Prime would release before the M9, ExpertReviews notes.

  According to the evleaks tweets, the e M9 Prime will be waterproof and designed from an "exotic material: composite of aluminum and liquid silicone," with specs including a high speed Cat. 6 LTE radio, a quad-core Snapdragon 805 SoC clocked at 2.5GHz, a USB 3.0 port, a 5.5-inch QHD resolution screen and 3GB of RAM, BGR reports.

HTC 64-bit Desire 820 smartphone

HTC 64-bit 

Desire 820 Smartphone

  It was only yesterday when we were invited by HTC to "save the date" for the company's "IFA Breakfast". Rumors have been swirling that HTC will be bringing forth a 64-bit Android smartphone in time for the annual IFA expo in Berlin. Next, we published the story of Qualcomm's leaked product map that shows its mid-range 64-bit processors are almost ready to start rolling off the fab. 

  The HTC rumor makes even more sense with this revelation into account, and now the company posted a teaser image on Weibo, which shows the digit "820". It's known that the only HTC products with three-digit names are its Desire series of low and mid-tier phones, which leads us to the conclusion that HTC is possibly preparing a Desire 820 phone based on Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 610 or 615 chips. 

  Looking at the "8" in its name, the Desire 820 might as well go for the octa-core Snapdragon 615, but that's purely speculative. Besides, the latest phone in the series, the Desire 816, has a quad-core CPU. If HTC wants to keep the price down, it will probably go for the quad-core Snapdragon 610.

  HTC is known for its pursuit towards being the first to bring cutting-edge technology to its smartphones. After all, this is the company that made the first consumer Android smartphone, launched the first smartphone with a 1080p display, and experimented with UltraPixel cameras to the dismay of some consumers. If there's one company we'd bet on coming up with the first 64-bit Android phone, it's HTC. We'll see what the future holds on September 4th.

Phunk Limited Edition HTC One M8

Phunk Limited Edition

 HTC One M8

  For its latest limited edition handset variant, HTC has teamed with Singapore art collective Phunk Studio to design a dashing take on the One (M8), which was revealed today.

  HTC and Phunk worked together to design the smartphone’s revised exterior, with the primary theme of “Wonderment” driving the result. You can catch a glimpse at the creative process of the two parties in the video below.

  Only 64 units were produced, but it doesn’t sound like they’ll be available for purchase (at least not through traditional means). HTC has yet to divulge full details, but some tech publications have mentioned impending giveaways, so that might be your best bet of trying to snag the device.

  Phunk’s involvement comes in advance of an exhibition that will stop in Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore, and is taking place during the studio’s 20th year of existence. The group has previously worked with such corporate heavy-hitters as Nike and Levi’s.

  According to HTC, the device signals the beginning of its “Here’s to Creativity” campaign for 2014, following last year’s One mini variant from fashion designer David Koma. Perhaps we’ll see even more slick, nearly-impossible-to-get designs before the year’s through.

HTC One M8 for Windows Dot View Case

How Cortana will work with
the Dot View case

  HTC is widely expected to introduce an HTC One M8 variant that runs Windows Phone 8.1 at its Aug. 19 event. The full specs for the HTC One M8 for Windows have leaked.

  Nokia has long enjoyed being the top Windows Phone maker. Companies like Samsung and HTC, who have fared very well with their Android smartphones, haven't been able to repeat that kind of success with their Windows Phone-based handsets.

  HTC is going to attempt to change that and has scheduled a press event on Aug. 19, where it will unveil the HTC One M8 for Windows. The smartphone is expected to be an exclusive for Verizon Wireless and to go on sale shortly after its introduction. As its name implies, the smartphone will run Windows Phone 8.1 in place of Android 4.4. KitKat.

  A new report from WP Central reveals the HTC One M8 for Windows' complete spec list and some new information on the smartphone's features. The device is virtually identical to its Android sibling in terms of specs and hardware, including the premium brushed aluminum case that has been a huge hit with consumers and reviewers.

  The HTC One M8 for Windows will reportedly include a 5-inch 1920 x 1080 Full HD Super LCD3 display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and a pixel density of 441 pixels per inch (ppi) and run Windows Phone 8.1 out of the box. It will be powered by a 2.3-GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and have 2 GB of RAM. The handset will ship with 32 GB of internal storage and a microSD expansion slot that will support up to 128-GB microSD cards.

  The camera capabilities of the HTC One M8 for Windows will include an HTC UltraPixel rear camera and 5-megapixel front-facing shooter. It will have dual stereo front-facing speakers with HTC BoomSound and pack in a large 2,600 mAh battery.

  The report also claims that the HTC Dot View Case for the HTC One M8 will be supported and also have integration with Cortana, the personal assistamt with Windows Phone.

  "This case lets you see who's calling, then answer or decline the call without opening it. Just swipe to answer or simply put it to your ear. It also shows you the date, time, weather and reminders. You can also instantly access Cortana by simply swiping down." The display shows through a dot matrix pattern.
