HTC really needs to step up its security over unreleased devices, because it has to be the worst when it comes to product leaks.
We’re just under a month away from the unveiling of its “All New HTC One,” and yet again the handset has been pictured out in the wild. These aren’t the sharpest of snaps, but they do give us a nice look at the handset’s new rear-facing camera sensors (yes, there are two).
A leaked HTC software updates plan has revealed that the original One and One max will receive Sense 6 upgrades later this year. It also reveals that the handsets next in line for an Android 4.4.2 KitKat update are the Butterfly S, the original Butterfly, the Desire 601, and the Desire 700.
So we’re fairly certain now that the second-generation HTC One will be named the “All New HTC One” — not the One Plus or the One 2 or the M8 — and that it’ll be available in gray, silver, and gold. And thanks to this leaked press photo published by @Evleaks today, we know exactly what the latter will look like.
HTC’s decision to turn its focus to affordable smartphones in a bid to save its business is wonderful news for midrange handset buyers, because it means more devices like the Desire 8. Leaked by sources in China, the Desire 8 brings beautiful looks and impressive specifications to the midrange smartphone.
Earlier this week, BlackBerry announced a “special” version of BBM that will deliver support for devices running Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread. It’s set for its public release next month, but users can now download a leaked APK file and get their hands on it early.
