Hasta La Gadget!

HTC Butterfly users have been waiting to get their hands on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean for a while now, and things started looking up last month when the company rolled out said update for the Butterfly S. It appears that earlier today HTC started rolling out the update for Butterfly users as well. Reports coming in from various markets confirm that the HTC Butterfly Android 4.3 update is slowly but surely being rolled out.

HTC Butterfly Android 4.3 Update Released original content from Ubergizmo.

M8 will be the first HTC device with on-screen buttons.

Serial leakster @evleaks has come up with another potential gem about the yet unreleased HTC M8, which is also known as the HTC One+ in other circles, depending on where you get your news sources from. In fact, it has been more or less confirmed over the weekend that the upcoming HTC M8 will feature a display that has 1080 x 1920 resolution, with a very real possibility of it measuring 5” in size. In one of @evleaks’ more recent outings, the HTC M8 might very well hold the honor of being the first HTC smartphone that will feature on-screen buttons, now how about that?

Rumor: HTC M8 Has On-Screen Buttons original content from Ubergizmo.

It does seem that as a particular smartphone or tablet gets closer and closer to its release date, it is going to start making headlines all over the news in terms of leaks. The same also applies to this particular HTC handset, which remains unannounced, and yet we more or less have an inkling that it will be powered by an octa-core chipset. Apparently, this particular device from HTC happens to be a mid-range smartphone in the mould of the Desire series, and it ought to be based upon the most recent MediaTek platform that will carry a true octa-core Cortex-A7 processor underneath the hood. Don’t you think that the shade of red that you see on the right is somewhat similar to the red Nexus 5 image which was leaked earlier today? Also, some others might think that this is somewhat reminiscent of the plastic oriented iPhone 5c, too.

Octa-Core HTC Handset Leaked, Carries Bright Colors original content from Ubergizmo.

The other day we reported on a leaked HTC M8 case which seemed to hint that the handset would be arriving with a fingerprint scanner, and now thanks to leaker Sonny Dickson, he has managed to get his hands on what appears to be multiple HTC M8 cases which seems to hint at the handset’s design, at least from the back. For those unfamiliar, Sonny Dickson is the leaker who leaked multiple images of the iPhone 5c ahead of its release, so safe to say he has managed to gain a fair amount of credibility, but do take it with a grain of salt for now. Sonny Dickson claims that these cases are authentic, so hopefully HTC does not pull a fast one on us at the last minute!

As it stands the HTC M8 has been rumored to sport a 2.3GHz processor, a 5” Full HD 1080p display, 2GB of RAM, an upgraded rear-facing camera with twin sensors, and a fingerprint scanner. We’re not sure why HTC has decided to keep a Full HD display rather than opting for a 2K display which seems to be the trend these days, but hopefully the features and performance of the HTC M8 will prove to be good enough for users to overlook its display resolution. The rumors also claim that handset could arrive in March, so hopefully we will learn more at MWC 2014, so be sure to check back with us then for the details.

Its always nice to receive a new firmware update, it bumps up the version number and brings a couple of new features, improvements and bug fixes in the process. This particular update for AT&T HTC One X+ owners is going to be really special, given the fact that there won’t be any further major updates, as has already been confirmed by HTC. The company had first rolled out this update for the international variant of One X+ almost five months back, AT&T has just got around to rolling it out now after conducting the required carrier tests.

With AT&T already having released the update for this device, its only a matter of time before it rolls the update out for the HTC One X as well. It should be kept in mind that both of these smartphones won’t receive any further updates, they will remain at Android 4.2.2, Android 4.3 is out of the question, which also means that these smartphones won’t ever get an official taste of Android 4.4 KitKat. Those who own an HTC One X+ can now try manually checking from the update through the settings application, if they haven’t already been notified by the device itself. The update comes in at 532MB, you will require Wi-Fi to download it. Those who want a taste of KitKat will have to turn towards custom ROMs.
