14 DAY TRIAL // We already know that HTC will announce its next flagship smartphone on March 25 in London, but it looks like the company plans to hold multiple events for the launch of the All New HTC One in some of the most important markets.
It appears that HTC Australia already has a scheduled event for March 27, where the company is expected to introduce the All New HTC One to the media.
According to AusDroid, the launch event will take place in Sydney and will probably include lots of details on the smartphone’s availability in the country, as well as pricing options.
We expect the All New HTC One to be offered by all three major carriers in Australia, though there are no details on prices yet. While the smartphone will certainly be available for free, customers will have to commit to long-term contracts, but for now it’s unclear which plans qualify for this offer.
No word on the upfront price of the All New HTC One, but we will probably know more soon after HTC introduces the phone, on March 25.
The All New HTC One can easily be awarded the title of the most leaked smartphone ever. Few devices have been so present in the media ahead of their official release as the All New HTC One.
Speaking of which, the only thing that we are not certain of is the market name of the actual device. Although everyone refers to it as the All New HTC One, there’s a high chance that the smartphone will be released on the market as HTC New One, as confirmed by the DLNA certification that we reported on yesterday.
But what about the smartphone’s hardware? Well, for the time being we know the All New HTC One will be equipped with a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, an Adreno 330 graphics processing unit, and 2GB of RAM.
We also know that the device will boast a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution. There will be either 16GB or 32GB of storage inside, but users will be able to further expand internal memory via microSD card.
Another confirmed feature of the flagship device is the Duo camera on the back that features a dual-tone LED flash, autofocus, and full HD (1080p) video recording.
Design-wise, the smartphone will greatly resemble its HTC One predecessor. It will feature the same aluminum unibody chassis and a non-removable 2600 mAh battery.
Here is hoping that most of the leaked specs of the All New HTC One will be confirmed by the Taiwanese handset maker, or perhaps better ones will be announced.
