We think we have a pretty good picture of the specs of the HTC One (previously known as M7), and we even know it will be launched in less than a week. What we were not sure of is how the device would look like. But, thanks to some images and videos that mistakenly end up on HTC’s website, that’s about to change.
The media in question can be found by visiting HTC.com and checking the source code of the countdown timer that shows the time left to the One launch. In the Resources section, one can find a few unclear shots of the upcoming device, as well as a couple of teaser videos.
A YouTube user grabbed the snippets and put them together in the 20 second clip below.
From the deliberately hazy video (hey HTC, J.J. Abrams called, he wants his lens flares back) we can tell that the alleged leaked press shot that @evleaks produced is indeed accurate. The teased device seems to feature a metallic unibody with chamfered edges, and at first blush, the design language is somehow similar to the Apple iPhone 5 and the Blackberry Z10.
As for the other design that we’ve seen (most recently revealed in a set of images from a Chinese spare part retailer), I am starting to believe it’s another device that HTC is preparing to launch, perhaps the M4 or the G2?

It has been awhile since we’ve seen Sony’s Cyber-shot imaging brand come to smartphones. Cyber-shot has been a dominant brand long before smartphones came into the foray. For those who loves taking pictures and video, it seems like Sony Ericsson…
For those of you high on the fumes of the Samsung S3′s explosive release, here’s an even bigger dose for you: Hollywood-esque shorts shot entirely on the Sammy S3! That’s right, the chutzpah of T-mobile’s…
We have already seen a couple of leaked Galaxy Note 2 images that turned out to be fakes, so we’re back to waiting to get a glimpse at Samsung’s second-generation phablet ahead of the August…
Need something to warm the cockles of your heart? Watching a smartphone ad may be the last thing on your mind, but Sprint’s latest commercial for the Samsung Galaxy S3 may do just that. Obviously,…

There’s nothing exciting about this phone. Especially the fact that it looks terrible compared to its predecessor. Samsung FTW.

I don’t know which is sader, your terrible attempt at trolling or the fact that you badmouth a phone which will probably be years ahead in term of design compared to Samsung’s devices? Either way, what a stupid comment.

For my own usage, micro SD is lacking and a little bit of waterproofing.
Sad for the butterfly non availibility in europe

It looks like a nice device, but I am not buying another HTC (after the mess they’ve done with the HD 2 software and the poor battery life in the One X). It might be a hit for those who want small devices, but once I looked at the Note 2, i don’t want it that small.. 5 inch is perfect and that’s why I am waiting for the S4..

Glad they went with this design instead of the usual Htc One X-like look. Not gonna buy it though. I’ll wait and see how the S4 looks like.
