14 DAY TRIAL // There are still about 9 hours left until the official reveal of the All New HTC One, but some carriers have already started to take pre-orders or reservations for the upcoming device.
Canadian carrier Rogers is the first to list the yet to be announced smartphone on its official webstore. Moreover, the operator has also priced the device, so customers will eventually be able to grab the All New HTC One for around $230 (€150) with a new 2-year agreement.
The smartphone is listed as HTC One (M8) and customers can now reserve theirs via Rogers Online Reservation System, though we’re not sure if that will work until the smartphone is actually introduced officially.
According to Rogers, those who reserve their HTC One (M8) early via Reservation System will have their orders shipped right away, while supplies last.
Price aside, Rogers also lists the All New HTC One’s full specs sheet, which confirms most of the previous leaks. The smartphone will definitely be powered by Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system out of the box and will run HTC Sense 6.0 UI on top.
Details on the main dual camera on the back are a bit scarce, but Rogers states that the “Duo Camera uses two cameras so you can choose what parts of the scene you'd like to emphasize, even after your shot has been taken.”
The All New HTC One will measure 146.3 x 70.6 x 9.35mm and weighs 160g (battery included). In comparison, the previous HTC One model measures 137.4 x 68.2 x 9.3 mm and weighs only 143g.
Obviously, that’s due to the fact that the next flagship smartphone comes with a slightly larger 5-inch Super LCD3 capacitive touchscreen display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution and features Corning Gorilla Glass 3 coating.
On the inside, the All New HTC One comes packed with a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, an Adreno 330 graphics processing unit and 2GB of RAM.
Unlike the previous model, the All New HTC One features microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 64GB). LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC (Near Field Communication) connectivity options are included as well.
It also comes with 32GB of storage inside and a 2600 Li-Polymer non-removable battery, which should provide up to 21 days of standby or up to 21 hours of talk time.
