A trio of 10: HTC's new flagship may come in multiple variants

Mobile World Congress was held several weeks ago, and much to the dismay of HTCfans, the Taiwanese OEM had a decidedly non-flagship phone to feature. While the HTCDesire 530, Desire 630, and Desire 825 might have whet some viewer’s whistle, it is the company’s upcoming device, codenamed HTCPerfume and now being referred to as the HTC10, that is commanding full attention. Unfortunately the official April 12th unveiling is still a few weeks away.

The latest leak comes from Chinese website My Drivers which is reporting that three different variants of the HTC10 will be released:

Variant One: This will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor, have 3GB of RAM, 16GB of on-board storage and will retail for around $584.

Variant Two: This will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, have 3GB of RAM, 32GB of on-board storage, and will retail for around $768.

Variant Three: This will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, have 4GB of RAM, 128GB of on-board storage, and will retail for around $905.

All three models will allegedly have a 5.15-inch QHD Super LCD5 display, and come with a 12-megapixel rear camera with a dual-tone LED flash, OIS, and laser Auto Focus. They will also supposedly have a 3000mAh battery, and run Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Sense 8.0.

In addition to this report, additional images claiming to depict the HTC10 surfaced today showing the device in two colors as well as the internals:

Wrap Up

With only a short amount of time remaining before the official launch, it’s likely that more leaks will trickle down, though given what happened to the Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5, perhaps they might be even more accessible.
