HTC's M7 smartphone has been showcased once again ahead of its imminent reveal during next month's Mobile World Congress reveal.
Pocket Now obtained a new render of the rumored device, which, according to two HTC sources who have viewed the handset, is "spot on." The image follows the first render stemming from a "short animation clip instructing new owners on first-time SIM card installation."
The HTC M7 is rumored to sport the new Sense 5.0 UI, as well as running on Android Jelly Bean. It's apparently powered by a 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor and 2 GB of RAM, accompanied by 32 GB of internal storage and a 2300mAH battery.
Other purported features consist of a 13-megapixel rear camera and a front-facing 2-megapixel snapper, 4G connectivity support and Wi-Fi 802.11ac connection that's three times faster than the current 802.11n WLAN wireless technology.
According to a codename leak of HTC smartphones, the Taiwanese smartphone and tablet manufacturer is set to offer several variants of its flagship M7 handset.

SneakySnake This looks much better then the iPhone clone the rumor pics of it used to look like.Reply -
GabZDK I really like the finish on the back of HTC phones, they look really slick in my opinion. What has my attention is Sense 5.0, would like to see how it foldsReply
And the specs are bad either -
scook9 Why does HTC have to hate so bad on removable batteries?! :(Reply
This alone has made me a huge fan of Samsung lately. Note they can still make a slender phone yet have a good sized removable battery. -

I found having a spare battery with your phone to be really handy in emergencies, although a little inconvenient. HTC used to have an official store with parts you could buy including batteries. Can't find it now, but they must have had phones with removable batteries at one point. :( -
So no removable battery and no sd slot. No one will buy this phone. With all the competition out there now both are required.Reply
