Hasta La Gadget!

Earlier today we managed to catch a glimpse of what looks like the press shot of the upcoming HTC One, aka the HTC M7. We have to admit the device looks pretty sleek, although we can’t help but feel that there are some elements in its design that is reminiscent of the iPhone 5 and the Blackberry Z10. Putting that aside, a new teaser photo by HTC has been released (pictured above) and as you can see, it has something to do with camera lenses. This isn’t the first time that HTC has hinted that the upcoming HTC One will be a camera powerhouse, but as to what exactly does this mean remains to be seen. Will we be merely looking at an increase in megapixel count, or are we looking at a camera that will be able to give the Nokia Lumia 920’s low-light photography a run for its money? We won’t speculate too much for now, but as the green wording on the lenses reveal, we will have to wait until the 19^th of February to find out, so check back with us then for the details!

Are you still in two minds as to whether you are to call the upcoming flagship device from HTC as the HTC One or the HTC M7? Well, let some advertising make the decision on your behalf, as the recent Champions League soccer match between Celtic of Scotland and Juventus of Italy had electronic signboards that cycled through ads, flashing “HTC One” at a particular time.

Of course, this is in direct contrast to what we have heard from HTC most of the time, where they kept on referring to the HTC M7 (with CEO Peter Chou himself doing the same). Of course, there is always the possibility of the HTC One electronic sign being a kind of general promotion for the entire One series, but since the name HTC One has been rumored for some time already as the Taiwanese company’s new flagship device, it could also mean the HTC M7 will ditch the code name when it hits the market, and being marketed as the HTC One would make it easier to remember (and hopefully, sell).

The reveal of the HTC One, or HTC M7 if you didn’t catch the possible name change late last week, has been gaining some steam the last few weeks leading up to its assumed reveal during HTC’s press event next week. It looks like we won’t have to wait until next week’s reveal as a render of the HTC One looks to have made its way to the Web earlier this morning.

The source of the leak was from EvLeaks, who has been known to leak Android info in the past and whose information is often correct. The image was originally posted to Flickr listed as the “HTC One” within its EXIF data, which if you had any doubts of its name change in the past, that little nugget should convince you without any hesitation.

We caught a glimpse of the HTC One’s housing a few weeks ago and both the leaked housing and the render leaked today seem showcase the same device. Although today’s leak also offers a glimpse into the device’s Sense 5.0 as it looks like it’ll have more of a grid-style interface.

We’ve been hearing a number of things in regards to HTC’s upcoming M7 Android phone like is ability to take ultrapixel photos instead of megapixels, its already assumed component shortages and we even caught a glimpse of its sweet, sweet housing. But HTC’s latest teaser for the M7 has raised a few questions.

As you can see by the image above, HTC released a teaser that says “ALIVE SOON!” and features a heart that seems to be infused with a circuit board that is pumping blood into the circuitry of whatever it’s connected to. We’re all for human organs being featured in promotional material, but this one seems a bit odd. We would have preferred a silhouette of the M7 or something not so… anatomical?

Either way, HTC has us talking today, which is probably what they aimed for when they created this teaser. We’ll already be at HTC’s event on February 19, so there really was no need to release something like this today, especially since it doesn’t reveal anything but a beating heart on a circuit board.

The HTC M7 seems to be making plenty of waves on headlines of different online publications in recent times, which would only bode well for the beleaguered Taiwanese company that has not seen the best quarters in recent memory. Hopefully the HTC M7 will be able to help lift them out from the quagmire, and its hardware specifications that lay on the high end side of things do seem to help shape a positive outlook for the handset’s launch which is set to happen very, very soon.

However, there are whispers that this effort by HTC to get back on track might be derailed, as rumors on the grapevine have it that HTC could be facing a component shortage which will ultimately reduce the number of available units of the HTC M7 when launch day comes. According to Citigroup analyst Kevin Chang, he said that a “low yield rate of some components such as metal casings and antennas,” will impact the number of smartphones that will be shipped in a negative manner. I guess we will just have to adopt a wait and see attitude to figure out whether such speculations are true or not concerning this Ultrapixels handset.
