On Thursday, January 2, a well-know accurate leaker posted a set of “preliminary” specifications on Twitter for HTC’s upcoming M8, which is expected to be the successor to the Taiwanese company’s flagship smartphone of 2013, and just yesterday a familiar developer published a report which has a close similarity to some of the specs that have been brought to our attention over the course of the past few weeks.
