Mobile phone maker HTC Corporation is hard at work with the development of new, highly appealing smartphones, and one of them allegedly leaked into the wild in what appears to be the very first photo with it.

The handset is codenamed HTC Kingdom and can be seen in the photo to the left, courtesy of Chinese blog 911sniper.

Specific info on the new mobile phone lacks at the moment, but we do know that it should come with a large touchscreen display, capable of delivering a qHD (540 x 960 pixels) resolution.

Basically, the handset would sport a front panel similar with the one on the HTC EVO 3D and HTC Sensation.

Not to mention that is would reportedly land on shelves with Google's Android operating system on board, and with looks similar to those of HTC Thunderbolt.

The phone does not sport a carrier logo on it, which, according to a recent article on Pocketnow, could suggest that it would be headed to the market in Europe.

Moreover, they note that the handset comes with a series of other physical details that bring it closer to already popular HTC smartphones, such as buttons, speaker grills and overall lines.

The photo available with the new device is a blurry one and does not offer too many details on it, but, if based on Android, the mobile phone might very well come with the HTC Sense 3.0 user interface as well.

Of course, there still are a wide range of details on this device shrouded in mystery, including exact info on the hardware it packs inside, or on the capabilities that it would be pushed to the market with.

No info on the availability or pricing of the new mobile phone emerged either, and it might still take some time before it is announced and put on shelves around the world. Stay tuned for more on this.
