HTC One 2 aka HTC M8 rumor round-up: camera, specs, release date and design

[thebizz]

If they relocate the power button I would be fine if it got taller or give me some type of knock on feature. My real hope is they simply decrease the bezel size especially top and bottom and increase the screen size

Call me a sucker, but these images look legit to me.

Looks like they're going with two LEDs with different colours? Is that what Apple did with one of their phones?

Looks good anyway. Can't wait for the reveal.

I hope those aren't legit, if so then HTC added some bottom bezel just to put their logo there, which is even worse than when they removed the multitasking button to add their logo on the One.

Yeah, seems like there'll just be a black bar with nothing but "htc" on it. Meh, if it's similar size as the One, I'm fine with that.

Just hoping there's a bigger battery and a really kickass camera(s). If it's close to 3000mah then that's great. Because the Xperia Z1 battery life is nuts.

I hope they kinda follow what LG did on the Nexus 5, no HTC logo in front, just the screen and dual front speakers and retain the cool HTC logo at the back. But I think that won't happen.

HTC M8 leaks again with second camera and on-screen buttons - Pocket-lint

Thats a lot of bezel Batman!

Dont screw this up HTC... I want to come back to you badly, but i cannot deal with a massively tall phone and a power button on top.

I know right, I hope they don't squeeze the HTC logo at the bottom of the screen. or maybe make it smaller

Nooooooo. I was hoping for a centered screen with minimal bezel and same footprint with larger screen, much like the renders in this thread. Come on HTC, if you really need your logo in the front, find some way to incorporate it in the speakers.

If that image is true, it's just ridiculous of HTC. Should have just left the buttons were they were if you were going to keep the HTC logo on the front. You have effectively added more bezel when buyers are screaming for less.

I will not buy this phone if that's what it looks like

If that is the real deal it seems pointless having the onscreen buttons as it now takes up even more screen real estate along with that huge bottom bezel?

 

[SeanJamesWright]

Seems to match up with this that we've already seen?

 

[ffejjj]

Between the speaker row, the HTC insignia, and the row of buttons you lose over an inch of screen just on the bottom. Regardless of the internal specs I see this as a fail on HTC's part

Have to agree. If this is indeed the final product, I'm leaning towards the S5 now.

Since my daughter got the G2 I've been contemplating the G3 (I'm eligible for upgrade in July) but I also assumed I would buy the One2. Like my last 5 htc phones. I just don't understand their thinking here

If that is legitimate and that's what the final design will look like, I must say I'm disappointed.

The edges are more curved and rounded. I prefer the more sharper edges of the previous One. The top speaker is smaller and off center, whereas the bottom speaker is big and centered. It looks asymmetrical.

And I agree with the black bar with the HTC logo, completely pointless. The move to the on screen buttons was so that you don't need the black bar there, so why include it?

This looks like a worse design than the first HTC One. I like the older design more.

Seems to match up with this that we've already seen?

What is this from? It seems to have the same front design, but the back doesn't have the dual cameras
