The HTC M7 is your next Androphone and it will be the next flagship for HTC ? - General Topics

I open this thread to know if it's for you the M7 will be the new flagship of HTC.
Everybody knows that the big date of the mobile telephony is the Motive World Congress in Barcelona on February.
But HTC announced M7 in Las Vegas ... and new Sense 5.0 also....
...the HTC M7 is currently running on Android 4.1.2 (which may be updated before launch) and a new version of HTC Sense (most likely HTC Sense 5.0) with an updated “simple and clean” UI.
... our source has debunked the recent rumor that the HTC M7 will feature on-screen buttons.
Specs on the HTC M7 are said to include a quad-core processor (rumored to be a Qualcomm APQ8064), a 4.7-inch 1080 x 1920 display (that’s 468 ppi for those keeping count), 32GB of internal storage (no expandable storage slot was visible on the phone) and is currently being tested on Sprint’s LTE network.

Give us your impressions and what do you think about this new device ?

The big question.is : will it be dev friendly? Will they ease the port of aosp roms?
If yes then yes.

I personally don't see the advantage of this over any other 1080p phone which was actually announced at CES. It has a relatively small battery, weird button placement, no SD slot, Sense and generally looks a lot uglier than an Xperia ZL (at least in my opinion). The bezel is far too large and the camera seems to be placed a bit lower down than on most phones. I liked this general design for Windows Phone but I don't think it really works properly on Android devices.

It should have the krait 600, more storage and android 4.2 out of the box, but I think that this wont be the flagship but just an high end device like the one s and the flagship will be a tegra4

The main reason I've never bought an HTC phone is that they never make it clear which product is the flagship. I thought the One X was going to be the flagship until the One X+ came out half a year later.
And now the Droid DNA comes out, only have a slight improvement only a few months later?!
And why names like DNA and M7? That just confuses customers. Something like Two X or One X2 would make much more sense as names for the next flagship. This is part of the reason why Apple and Samsung are so successful, they create a single product that goes through iterations of improvements (iPhone # and Galaxy S#). It keeps customers following the series.

when can HTC Corp learn from its past product mistakes?
They can just release a 5 inches SLCD 3 and imitate the cool design of HTC J butterfly with 13 MP camera and a SD card slot and an increase of battery power like the htc one x+
I can not understand why HTC really has poor strategy in catching the consumer's hype for a cool tech design and need for extra storage and battery life boost.

What I think is that they need to lower their sights. Samsung and Apple are getting all the glory so if they lower the amount of flagships in a year to one and lower the price to round about £300 so they undercut their rivals and get more customers. They won't do this but it nice to dream

The HTC M7 is anyway going to be an interesting device. But there are two points which are important for me (that doesn't means that they are important for everybody):
1. A huge battery capacity (3000 mAH +)
2. Dev - friendly device (unlocked bootloader, ...)
One thing I like about Android is the huge community. I like to test new stuff (ROMs, MODs etc). and it would be really annoying if you would have to stuck with the Sense UI. It's not that I don't like Sense at all (my first Android device was the T - Mobile G2 aka HTC Hero), but as I said, I like to test new stuff and Android lives by its huge community as well.
I could imagine that it comes with Tegra 4 instead of Snapdragon S4. Hopefully they already launch it with Android 4.2 and not with 4.1. If not, it would be nice if they provide 4.2 quickly after the release. But first of all I'll wait for the HTC M7 to be introduced and than I can rather say if I'm going to buy it.
And I hope that the design will be similar to the one of HTC Butterfly or HTC One X

The Phone in My Dream! Which phone is this?

Hello folks,
Here is the phone that I want:
- super-resistant high quality body like HTC devices
- super-amoled 4.0" screen like Samsung devices. Not 3.8" or 4.3"
- super-quality camera like iPhone 4 (not much important)
and it must be an Android device of course ^^
Is there a phone matches with these?
Galaxy S matches.

I think it is the closest one, BUT;
Galaxy S's body is not really qualified like HTC devices.
It also does not have a camera-flash! A really important missing feature.
The other thing that I hate with Galaxy S is that, its look is too much iphoneish.
Look at that :

real men use 4.3"
LOL I hope anyone is not looking in to Samsung device I mean looking at the history of how they have tendency of dropping user base by not providing any type of support, who would pick them? Have you checked their latest fiasco of Vibrant vs Vibrant 4G? LOL so much for that epic new device...
BTW souljaboy I had HD2 months before it came out in USA so I know the whole 4.3" thing but ATM the hardware I want is only in MT4G as its the flagship of HTC and second is DHD which has 4.3" display but lacks 4G much less 3G support in USA but still gets owned by MT4G natively.
I've been using HD2 for 6 months and I'm a bit bored with 4.3" screen.
4.0" is enough and it's gorgeous with super-amoled.
I was also not happy with HD2's CPU. I need a new generation Snapdragon or a Hummingbird CPU.
So I bought Nexus S a few days ago, but its screen is scratched easily because lack of gorilla glass :/
Anyway, it's better to wait for Galaxy S2! Samsung will announce it on February 13.

It's not 4" and super-amoled, also its processor is just .. worthless.
Desire and Nexus One are even better than motorola defy.
I agree, wait for the next round. If nothing tickles your fancy, at least there will be a price drop in older models.

The HTC One S which is the younger sibling of the HTC One X will be launching in India early next month.
The Qualcomm powered Android phone has got priced at Rs.33000 on TheMobileStore.
I personally prefer the One S over the One X and I would call the One S the iPhone of the Android world. The handset has got a release date of 8th June on the retailer’s website.
Rs.33000 seems a bit steep for the One S. Ideally I would like to see it priced at around Rs.30000 considering the international pricing but then the high dollar is to blame.

Thanks for the info guys! This is the only phone that can possibly stop me from getting the S3.
Are HTC launching in India officially, or are these handsets being acquired from some sort of sidelines? If so, what about the warranty and service?

Launching officially in India next month with full HTC warranty.
Yup dual core A15 kraits are pretty good and can compete against the old quad A9.You can go with One S.This is gem of a phone.
Can't Wait!!
Had bought my Sensation for 29K and lost it within 4 months in December..
Didn't buy another phone and been using a BB Bold cause i was waiting patiently for this beautiful device to come to our shores..
Want the Black one.. Shame on the MAO problem.. Guess will have to get the Grey (Hope the grey one comes).. Don't want a case but heard so many negative things about how slippery it is..

Man, I've been waiting for this phone for a LONG time! Though I think 33k is a bit too much, I feel that upon release, the price will be lesser. Can't wait to get this phone. Almost got the giant One X before I realized that it's too big for me.
The Mobile Store now lists the price as Rs. 0. So don't think it's gonna be 30,000.
I am Going to Get One From USA
I will be happy if i would be able to install the Indian Rom
I bought one from Europe. Nice phone, but I am gonna get S3 for myself.
Flipkart told me on twitter that they expect it around June 15th with a price range if about 31-33k. I also fear it might have the Snapdragon S3 processor instead of the S4 Krait processor.

So the HOS finally shows up on the HTC website. But as suspected, the Processor seems to be the Snapdragon S3 instead of the S4, as the clock speed is now 1.7GHz.
http://www.htc.com/in/smartphones/htc-one-s/#specs
That's it. I ain't getting this phone anymore. **** YOU HTC!!!
I am amazed it's priced this way..... the only reason would be if they are giving bundled Beats earphones with this....as this is Sensation XE price now...
You think an overrated headset would compensate for installing an older generation CPU and trying to conceal it with the label "dual core" yet have the audacity to price it like that?
Please...
Am so Dissapointed & Dejected!!
I waited for months just for this specific device and we end up getting S3..
I just have no idea which phone to buy now..
Hate the SGS3 because of touchwiz..
Hate the HOX because of the horrible battery & screen flexing..
Am using a BB since i lost my sensation but looks like i might have to stick to BB for another year!!
Now one s with S3 processor ,means its equivalent to senstion or XE . If its priced around 30k , then its not worth to buy. I will buy it if it is priced around 23k , either i will go for galaxy s2.

With you on this pal, htc screwed really bad
Handtec.co.uk seem to have the black HOS with the original specs listed there for a great price.
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php?xProd=6488
I've read good reviews of the site, and I'm really tempted to buy it from there. I'll just contact them once to make sure it's the S4 version.
EDIT: On 2nd thought, I most likely get a phone with the infamous chipping issue. Gonna pass on this and wait for the next great phone.

[Q] HTC One S Vs Galaxy Nexus

I know there is post like that but at the other post people are just saying "Galaxy Nexus" or "HTC One is the best".
I want to start it again. I need serious arguments for the both sides, please
Which is better in your opinion? If you have some suggestions? Also what is the quality of both phones?
Thanks for reading and discussing!
I'm sitting here wondering the same thing. I've got the One S, but I have an unopened Galaxy Nexus sitting next to me. I could return the Nexus, or sell the One S. Not sure what to do.
From what I've gathered, it looks like this.
One S:
Better camera (rear, not front)
Smaller screen w/ lower res (qHD vs 720)
Smaller battery (non-removable)
Faster processor and GPU (from what I've read)
HTC Sense (Big plus in my book)
No SD slot
Nexus:
Bigger removable battery
Larger, higher res screen
No SD slot
Pure ICS and faster updates (may or may not be a good thing)
More storage available
Cheaper off contract
I'm sure I'm missing stuff, but that's my break down.
I heard that Galaxy Nexus has a lot of bad quality phones especially when we talk to screen..
Also Galaxy Nexus isn't near fast as HTC One S but everywhere where I found discussion for these two phones they say "Galaxy Nexus is better"
Why?? As far as I can see through internet reviews and my personal opinion about the specs I see way better HTC One S.
Maybe the only big advantage is that Galaxy Nexus has Android Stock UI, not so big problem and the 720p screen but it gets bigger 4.65 instead 4.3.
I have small hands or maybe medium and I don't want to have that big phone.
After 2 weeks I will travel to USA and they are near the same price (Galaxy Nexus 430$ NEW, T-mobile HTC One S 430$ Used Near mint and 470$ NIB)
So my point is that I will be only for 3 months this year in USA and it won't be pleasant to get low quality phone. As I read there are some major issues for One S like dropping calls..
here we go.
I don't care about this things at all:
No SD slot
Smaller screen
Smaller battery
Cheaper off contract
...bla bla bla
My point is everything about HARDWARE !
HTC ONE S- Dual-core "KRAIT" Cortex-A15. (GPU- Adreno 225)
Even latest flagship Quadcore Samsung Galaxy III got it Cortex A9 !
HTC One S has it beautiful hardware, and rich future.
Galaxy Nexus- Got it BEST android community !
But hardware is OMAP 4460 which is Dual-core, Cortex-A9. (GPU-PowerVR SGX540-old crap)
Due to such a smart dev's (like a Morfic and others) Galaxy Nexus provide beautiful optimization and fast speed
But OMAP4460 and PowerVR SGX540 will not pull up for a long time.
Conclusion:
With GALAXY NEXUS I felt no hardware power., I felt a strong optimization !!! Remember, ICS was born and optimized for the Nexus (Omap).
With HTC One S I felt hardware power, thank you for sick Krait A-15 !
Which is provide so strong CPU attack ! Linpack bench is 222 !!! And you are required to respect that !!! Because no ONE can't do this.

But:
Both phone got ****ty GPU !
You will ask me: "-Now what?!"
Both phones can't play 1080p video, example in youtube desktop mod, and it is a shame !
At that time Exynos with Mali-400MP (Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S III) shows a middle finger with a smile.
So the choice is yours.
........My choice is Galaxy S III. ;-)
Best Regards
If the One S had these which the Nexus does, it would be just amazing
-NFC
(Android Beam)
(Swipe to Pay)
-HD Display (1280x720)
& a micro SD card or at least 32GB storage, with removable battery
But then again I'm pretty much describing the one X. Sadly its not on T-Mobile
Sent from my HTC One S
Finally some good arguments!
Actually I don't care neither for the smaller screen/resolution and that it doesn't have removable battery & no sd slot.
Previously I had iPhone and I am pretty used to it (to be missing) and I think isn't that big problem..
So Galaxy Nexus is only customization with less power
and One S is power with less customization. In fact I didn't know that One S can't playback 1080p from YouTube,
also HTC Sense is way more comfortable and more customizable in the eyes of TouchWiz.
My previous choice before One S was SGS2 i777. It has NFC, good camera, SD slot, removable battery but if I buy it I need to go CM9 maybe. TouchWiz is awful..
SGS3 is really good but I don't want to waste that money for a telephone. Also it is huge .
What about the HSPA speeds.. Nexus is only 21 .. while one S is 42 .. how much does that matter for a Tmobile customer?
A big factor in favor of the One S is the body, how it looks and feels to hold.
(Yes, the MSM8960 SoC is a nice bonus too.)
The One S will. Benefit with the faster radio/modem.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
network performance kind of depending on your signal strength. I personally think you won't notice much difference between 21 and 42. I did a quick test with my One S and I am getting about 21 speed despite it can do 42. It is probably due to slightly weaker signal on where I am. Unless you are doing lots lots of heavy duty data, it wont' matter much.
Besides the obvious spec difference, the software developement is where it matters. The Nexus's stock android is great and also mean that it has the most up to data software ie Jelly Bean and the big community means a big optimization. One S is a not that widely supported due to the fact many developers want the best hardware so they go with the One X as oppose to One S, so our device may not get all of the development. If you do not tinker your phone that much, either one won't make a huge difference.
In addition, I can see that google potentially will still offer one more software update after jelly bean with the Nexus but I am not 100% certain that HTC will offer update to the One S after jelly bean.
That is just my thoughts.
My HOS can play youtube in 1080p on desktop mode on cm9 & cm10(with the flash apk)
i have the one s now and had the nexus -
Speed differences are pretty big for me - +5 MB down on dl speeds and 3-5 up (nexus was 8-9 down 1-2 up).
I have the 5g + hotspot plan so that is a nice boost.
Screenwise, I don't miss the higher res I would be hard pressed to tell that much of a difference.
Tech wise the one s wins in terms of newer faster cpu - graphics wise? meh I don't play many games on my phone so I don't really care. I have a nexus 7 to be a tablet.
build wise - the nexus is slick but the one s is beautiful. The aluminum body the thin phone - it just looks sexy - not overly designed (how i felt about the s2 when I got it).
I don't store a lot on the phone so the memory avail for me is fine - don't really care about no microsd slot
the downside? it is tmo branded and they are notorius for slow updates where a nexus is going to get updates/new oses a lot faster but as others have pointed out - the tech is old...
that and I got the HOS for 49 bucks new contract - no brainer for me.

I own both as well and agree with everything in this post. I would just say that I think the biggest differences are screen size and aosp support.

The phone on the photo is definitely a HTC 8X
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7 mit Tapatalk 2
Looks cool but the battery and memory are terrible. Most Samsung devices now have at least 2100mAh but HTC still sticks with the low specs. As for the memory, I hated this phone because I only had ~9.7 gigs usable with no expansion. Nice to hear HTC is making that bad decision again as well... Not to mention how terrible HTC is with letting you unlock the device and write to the system partition. HTC taught me a good lesson, don't buy their phones for a while.
It's my complete opinion only, but this phone is practically nothing better than the HOS with only a slightly better camera. I am definitely NOT getting this device. As for you guys, waste money how you please
Hi,
Sorry to be a person who looks for ways to say this isn't real, but imo its not
If you look at the reflection line on the screen in the OP, there are two lines. One on the display/buttons, one on the bezel. They should line up but instead they go the opposite way. Then see the 8X picture, the bezel reflection line thing is exactly the same.
So, its a photoshopped 8X
And I have no idea what I'm doing in the One S section, I am lost

Lol we all get lost at times. And I love to know how they messed up the reflection.
This photo has been on Internet for quite some time and definitely a fake M4 photo.
Considered we don't even have the M7 photo(only some leaked, parts of it). How can we have a clear M4 photo now?

I love fakes so funny but the Sony Nexus one was one of the best.
New Photo leak.

These images have been claimed by a couple the usual HTC sources to be fake and clearly are. Those are two of the worst fan made renders I've ever seen.

Looks cool but the battery and memory are terrible. Most Samsung devices now have at least 2100mAh but HTC still sticks with the low specs. As for the memory, I hated this phone because I only had ~9.7 gigs usable with no expansion. Nice to hear HTC is making that bad decision again as well... Not to mention how terrible HTC is with letting you unlock the device and write to the system partition. HTC taught me a good lesson, don't buy their phones for a while.
It's my complete opinion only, but this phone is practically nothing better than the HOS with only a slightly better camera. I am definitely NOT getting this device. As for you guys, waste money how you please

Ya, I doubt those specs are even real considering this guy trying to trick is with that rediculous pic...as stated before, his name is even on it...why would he claim it's a leaked photo, then put his name on it as he took it...lol

The HTC One E8, an Affordable, Solid, & Worthy Contender

I am a Sprint Product Ambassador, and I thought I'd share my take on my current device, the HTC One E8...
The HTC One E8 device has been called mid-tier, but my findings show that this is only in price. After using this device for the past few weeks, I can happily report that tech-wise it stacks up there with high-end devices. The HTC One E8 is the kid brother to HTC’s current flagship device, the HTC One M8. However, don’t let the “kid brother” title fool you. This is one SOLID device that is worthy amongst the tech elite.
Let’s measure the specs side by side for the HTC One M8 versus the E8…

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see, they match up almost identically spec-wise. Therefore, I cannot righteously call this device “mid-tier” based upon its specs and my personal experience with it.
Between the HTC One E8 and M8 devices, the few differing areas are...
Storage: The HTC One E8 has 16gb of on board storage, versus 32gb for the M8. However, HTC has an agreement with Google Drive that provides 100gb of cloud storage, and the E8 supports a microSD card (not included). With cloud storage and the microSD card, the 16gb of on board storage should not be a hindrance.
Camera: Both the E8 and M8 have 5mp front-facing cameras. Regarding the rear camera, the HTC One E8 has a 13MP rear camera. On the HTC One M8 there are two rear cameras – 4MP and 2.1MP which both use UltraPixel technology. With the 13MP rear-facing camera, the HTC One E8 captures gorgeous, high-definition images.
Housing: The Sprint HTC One E8 has a back plastic housing that comes in Polar White and Misty Gray, versus the aluminum housing on the M8. Even though the back housing is plastic, it looks great and has a nice, solid feel in your hands.
The above few changes enabled HTC to bring the SRP cost down by $200 from the M8 to the E8, making the HTC One E8 an affordable, solid, and worthy contender in the smart device arena.
After using this device for the past few weeks, I must say that really like it a lot. Why? Well, in short.. it is extremely responsive with its 2.3 GHz Quad-Core Processor and 2GB of RAM, has a 2600 mAh battery providing up to 30 hours of talk time, has a beautiful 5 inch display, takes hi-res images with the 13MP camera, and has Kit Kat with Sense 6 UI which is a joy to use.
My personal lesson learned: A less expensive device does not always mean less worthy and shouldn't be prejudged.
