Yet another HTC One M10 leaked image surfaces on the webView attachment 217036

Looks like HTC has been listening to those who want their capacitive buttons back. I don't understand how this is a factor because with marshmallow you can hide your on screen buttons anyway with HTC phones.

I'm not sure what to feel about this. It looks nice in hand but the keys on the side of the button are not looking good to me. HTC is inconsistent when it comes to designing phones. I have to see more of the phone before making a decision.

Posted using my Moto Maker Moto X Pure Edition on Verizon... Unlimited Data as well...Android Central App helped as well

Good luck HTC.

I'm with ^^^. HTC, if they release the m10 based on these leaks, just lost. The s7/edge looks beatiful. A refinement from last years already awesome device... And this is coming from someone that does not like Samsung phones

This is not a leaked image of the M10. It is a render made by someone on XDA.

This is a much better render. This render was made by hamdir and edited by charanaharshana from XDA.

It is also being rumored to be using a Sharp display panel and it could be the IGZO panel. Here a video of the IGZO display.

Also if those renders are accurate and it'll have capacitive back and multi-task buttons....I don't know how I feel about that. I like the on-screen buttons, but then having an on-screen home button and a fingerprint scanner which functions as a home button seems kinda silly.

I'm liking how the device is shaping up based on these renders. Seems interesting enough.

HTC has to at least announce the M10 soon or they are going to get steam rolled by the S7 and G5. Not that they won't anyway but they won't even have a fighting chance if they don't even announce until after the S7 and G5 are already in peoples hands. I mean this is common sense. Look at Sony. Their phone isn't even out until June but they knew they had to at least announce at MWC to get it in peoples minds prior to the S7 and G5 release.

Saw this 4 or 5 days ago. According to some that have seen the M10 that is some kind of case on it and not the real thing.

Oh. Seems like a metal build with chamfered edges, but that's a case/dummy over it? Seems strange if it were a case - a lot of effort to do that.

Either way I'm not too fussed. If it turns out like that earlier render with the capacitive buttons, I'd be happy with that. I think that looks really good.

You sound like Chicken Little. People will buy those other phones and if HTC pulls off the phone of the year they may switch over. If not, that's business..

They can't afford to stay status quo. They need to get some of the people that are going to end up buying the S7 or G5. Those folks who are on a two year cycle and coming off an S5 soon are ripe for the picking but there's nothing they can do if they don't have the phone out yet. Yes that's business...but HTC's business has been very bad and they need to change.

First thing is they need to get noticed in the marketplace. I don't think HTC is a popular brand at all in markets around the world. Apple is #1 in smartphones, then Samsung then maybe LG (?). Sure, HTC could have released their phone in among the Galaxy S7 and LG G5, only to get drowned out by all the coverage and advertising the S7 and G5 will get. Samsung and LG are much, much larger companies than HTC are, and they can afford to drop serious money on advertising, which HTC cannot afford. These next few weeks will Samsung and LG will be bombarding tv channels, websites etc with advertising for their new phones. It's probably better for HTC to stay away from the storm right now and try to pick up some traction when the hype for the S7 and G5 have died down.

They simply can't compete head-to-head against LG or Samsung. I think it's a smarter move reveal/release the phone away from LG and Sammy.

Could it be the back side?, there's no sign of the 'htc logo'?

Well I think it will be next to impossible for HTC to compete or even get noticed. Producing an outstanding phone, marketing, etc. won't help either.

As for the M10 (or whatever it'll be called), I wouldn't be shocked if it receives lukewarm reviews, comes in last place in every comparison test, and if the user comments in the articles are going to be a flame fest. In the consumer market I already know it's going to be overlooked by a wide margin. I know I'm being doom and gloom, but a lot of the comments I read (from editors and users) in response to the leaks are certainly pointing in that direction.

Yup.

HTC could build the best phone ever made, charge half the price the competitors do, and people would still buy Samsung or Apple. Their brand has lost any mojo it once had.

This makes me sad. HTC helped "invent" Android by building the G1. Then they reinvented it with the Nexus One. I hate to watch them die.

Physical home button makes me incredibly sad. An early render had an indented barely visible FPS on the front and I was willing to forgive that. This is much worse. From the praised design of the M7/8 to this just makes this look deformed.

Interesting tweet. Looks like the image I posted earlier with the large chamfers around the edge.

Wonder when they're going to have the event. After seeing the S7 and G5, I'm quite interested in the M10.

From my understanding, there's a good possibility that it's a fingerprint scanner that doubles as a touch home button. Not as a physical button which you press in to activate (like the iPhone/Galaxy home buttons). I believe this is how the One A9 fingerprint scanner works.

I won't mind it if the back and multi-task capactive buttons are real. Otherwise having the FPS/home button combo right below a software home button doesn't make much sense.

 

[Almeuit]

It's stupid to have a fingerprint scanner there and not make it a home button. I really don't understand your point. What they did makes sense to me and everyone else.

Assassin Droid doesn't like home buttons. Fingerprint scanners can be on the back (like the 6P) without being a home button. Just a personal preference thing .
