HTC One M8 Leaked in a YouTube Video


With the Samsung Galaxy S5 unveiled, all eyes are now on HTC for the announcement of their new flagship. The HTC One successor was leaked earlier by evleaks in several photos including some HTC One M8s branded with AT&T and Verizon logos. A YouTube user named “GadgetReviews” recently posted a 12 minute video in which the HTC One M8 was fully leaked including the specs, design, interface and much of our previously leaked information was confirmed.  The Video has now been taken down but has been reuploaded by several other users.
Here are some photos from the video!

The video confirmed much of the information that was already leaked including the dual cameras and Sense 6.0. Some new features unveiled include the microSD slot with redesigned BlinkFeed.
In the camera interface there is the option of “Dual Capture”. This is enough to hint that the dual cameras at the back have some special functionality. Though many users were hoping for it to actually be a 3D camera, the dual cameras seem to deliver a completely new camera feature that is yet to be fully unveiled. But let’s not get excited! There was a dual capture feature with the Samsung Galaxy S4 which basically captured a picture from both the rear and front cameras at the same time. There are chances HTC included the same feature in the HTC One M8.  There is also a selfie mode which will most likely use the front facing camera for taking self photos.
The Video also shows the One M8 compared to its predecessor. Design changes include a lengthier build along with removal of the two capacitive buttons on the front. The HTC One M8 will accompany on-screen buttons like those on the Nexus 5.
We still don’t have much news regarding the specs of the HTC One M8 but a 2.3 GHz Quad Core Snapdragon 800 chipset with 2 GB RAM and a 2900 mAh battery would be a safe bet. Although, I hope I’m wrong here. The 2 GB RAM looks to be enough but compared to the flagships of today, 3 GB would seem sufficient. The HTC One M8 is expected to go official on March 25.
