HTC M8( HTC One 2) preliminary specs surface

Preliminary specifications of the upcoming HTC M8
smartphone have leaked courtesy of evleaks giving us a
better idea of what the Taiwanese are up to with their
HTC One successor.
In a previous leak of his, evleaks suggested the
codenamed M8 phone relies on a Snapdragon 800
chipset and today he confirms this, specifying HTC has
chosen the MSM8974 model. While not providing further
information, an educated guess would be the quad-core
Krait CPU will run at 2.2-2.3GHz. Sadly, the latest leak
suggests the M8 will tout 2GB of RAM instead of 3GB as
earlier purported .
We've already caught a glimpse of what the HTC M8 is
capable of in a leaked AnTuTu score . It manages to beat
the Galaxy Note 3, the Sony Xperia Z1 as well as the LG
G2.
HTC seems keen on using its UltraPixel camera
technology, and the M8 will feature one at its back as
well. There's no information wether it'll be the a 4MP
one just yet. At the front, there'll be a 2.1MP snapper,
probably the same as the one on the HTC One '. Below it
will sit a 5" display of full HD resolution, resulting in a
pixel density of 441 ppi. It won't be of much surprise if
HTC bets on Super LCD3 technology for the M8's
display.
In addition to the Wi-Fi module supporting the latest
802.11ac standard, the HTC M8 will run Android 4.4
KitKat garnished with Sense 6.0.
As suggested by leaked photos of the HTC M8, it's
going to tout an aluminum unibody construction, which
closely resembles that of the HTC One. The back is
going to be very similar as well with the exact same
camera and LED flash location. Furthermore, it's going
to be a lot slimmer than the One, if the leaked photos
are anything to go by.
In 2013, HTC released its flagship range consisting of
the One, One Max and One mini, but the latter was
haunted by difficulties in its production and couldn't
meet consumer and carrier demand. The HTC One
experienced a similar issue back in April last year, but
HTC swiftly managed to get around the problem.
Nevertheless, Q3 2013 financial results weren't so rosy
for the Taiwanese, who experienced their first quarterly
loss ever. The last quarter of 2013 will probably be
equally grim with HTC forecasting $1.4-1.5 billion in
revenue with a gross margin of around 20%. HTC made $
2 billion in revenue during 2012's Q4.
The company can't allow for any more mistakes to
happen and its CEO Peter Chou knows the HTC M8's
supply chain, production and marketing have to be
impeccable in order for HTC to catch a breath of fresh
air.
