Leaked image allegedly shows HTC M8's Sense UI with on-screen keys

We’ve been hearing about the HTC M8 for quite some time now. Some pictures of the device have also been circulating the web, which have been pointed out as fake. Now, a new tidbit comes from a more reliable source. A tweet from prolific tipster @evleaks –known for revealing accurate details of yet-to-be announced phones–reveals a screenshot simply named “M8”, showing the UI of an upcoming HTC smartphone.

The image shows what looks like a revamped HTC Sense UI running on the M8. One will instantly notice the familiar HTC launcher icons. The UI also shows KitKat-style translucent system bars and white icons. Interestingly, the screenshot displays software navigation keys. This indicates that HTC is all set to replace the capacitive buttons seen on its previous phones  The HTC One , prior to the official launch, came with the codename M7 . So, the M8 is highly speculated to be its successor and could probably be christened HTC One Two. Now, that would be a very weird name, but it must be noted that this is still in speculative territory.

The HTC One successor is believed to feature separate lenses to suit the lighting conditions and HTC may announce the device at the upcoming Mobile World Congress later this month. Rumours suggest that it could come with  5-inch or 5.2-inch display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC, 3GB of RAM and HTC’s Sense 6.0 UI.
