14 DAY TRIAL // The M7 is the next Android flagship smartphone to be released by HTC. The Taiwanese handset maker is expected to officially unveil the devices next week at the Consumer Electronics Show 2013, in Las Vegas.
Although we've been hearing lots of rumors on the HTC M7's specs sheet, as we get closer to launch more details on the phone's hardware and software configuration surface.
The latest info comes from the folks over at Football4PDA who report they have just received the M7's specs list, though these do not seem to be final so changes might be done by the time the handset goes on sale.
According to the cited source, HTC M7 will be equipped with a powerful 1.7 GHz quad core Qualcomm S4 processor, which will be complemented by 2GB of RAM.
The phone will pack 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of internal memory, but the 16GB and 64GB models might be limited to specific markets. No word on microSD card slot yet.
Furthermore, the M7 will boast an incredible 4.7-inch full HD (1080p) capacitive touchscreen display, as well as a 13-megapixel rear photo snapper. There's also a secondary 2.1-megapixel front facing camera for video calls.
The superphone will offer LTE and GPS with GLONASS, along with a high-capacity 2300 mAh Li-Ion battery which has yet to be rated by the manufacturer.
Software-wise, HTC M7 will ship with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box, integrated with Sense 5.0 user interface.
HTC Source has it from a source close to the matter, the M7 will come pre-loaded with several HTC apps that have been totally redesigned to offer a smoother user experience.
That includes the on-screen volume controls that now has a shortcut that heads users directly onto the phone's volume settings.
