HTC’s M7 or the HTC One, is due to be launched on 19 February in London and New York. HTC’s London event will start at three in the afternoon (approximately 8.30pm India time) while the New York event begins at 10am EST which is 9 pm for India.
Ahead of the launch HTC had also put up a teaser poster which shows a heart attached to motherboard circuit with the tag line reading “ALIVE SOON”.. Check out the original poster from the German forum which put it up first.
For HTC, the M7 carries the burden of expectations. The Taiwanese firm is no longer in the top list of smartphone retailers across the world, and they are hoping that this phone will help them get back there.
As far as specs go, it seems HTC is giving the megapixel war a miss, and going for a technology called Ultrapixel in its camera.
According to Pocket Lint, the new camera will instead be made up of three 4.3-megapixel sensor layers combined to give a resulting single image which will total to around 13-megapixels. This is similar to the technology used in Nokia’s 808PureView device.
A report also states the device will have a 5-inch HD display screen with 1920 x 1080-pixel screen resolution. It is likely to sport a quad-core Qualcomm S4 Pro processor.
