HTC seems to be having a hard time keeping its new flagship away from
the news. Only a day ago, the Taiwanese smartphone maker had sent out
invites for a HTC event in London and New York on
February 19 and there
are speculations doing the round that it may indeed be the launch of HTC
M7.
According to the website htcsource.com, HTC M7 is expected to
start retailing from March 8, 2013. It further claims that this
smartphone will be available in the UK and European markets before it
find its way to United States.
Even in the past there have been
news reports suggesting that HTC has sourced components to manufacture
4-5 million units of the HTC M7 during the first quarter of 2013. The
strategy behind launching this device ahead of MWC is that the company
wants to get their flagship out before their rivals. So March release
may give HTC about 2-3 months advantage over Samsung Galaxy S IV.
Over
the past couple of months, HTC M7 smartphone has been leaked
extensively over the Internet. However, till now there was only the
black colour option of this smartphone that has been spotted. However,
htcsource.com claims that it will be available in one more colour
option, which could either be white or silver.
Just to recap, HTC
M7 is expected to come with 4.7-inch 1080p display. Other specifications
that this smartphone may have are 13-megapixel rear snapper, 1.7GHz
quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM.
It will come with Android 4.2 along with a layer of the brand new Sense 5.0 UI.
