HTC will unveil the All New HTC One (M8) on March 25 and the smartphone's sale guide has just leaked giving us new details on the device.
When HTC launched the HTC One in 2013, the company offered Android fans a smartphone that had top of the line specs wrapped inside an anodized aluminum case that was on the same level of design and quality as a device from Apple. The HTC One was one of the most popular smartphones of 2013 and HTC isn't going to mess with its recipe for success when it comes to its flagship handset of 2014. The company isn't event going to play around with its name; it will reportedly be called the "All New HTC One".
A sales guide for the All New HTC One has just leaked and it reveals some of the smartphone's features along with examples of how sales people should explain the handset's capabilities. HTC knows that the design of the smartphone is one of its best features and it's the first topic discussed.
"Allow the customer to hold the phone, get them to run their fingers around the edges to show them how smooth they are. Explan that the phone is more comfortable to hold due to the curved edges. Customers should be told the phone has been ergonomically designed to fit the palm of their hands.", reads the sales guide.
The All New HTC One will also retain another popular feature of its predecessor. It will sport front facing dual-stereo speakers with HTC Boom Sound. Many reviews have called the HTC One the best sounding smartphone thanks to the quality of its stereo speakers.
A new feature discussed in the sales guide is called "Motion Launch", which will allow users to do things like answer a phone call by simply placing the ringing smartphone to their ear. Users can wake the smartphone by double tapping its screen, which will display the time, weather, and notifications.
The guide then moves on to the "HTC Duo Camera", which will allow users to take a picture and then refocus it afterwards to blur the background or the foreground, just like an SLR camera. Leaked images of the All New HTC One have shown the smartphone with two cameras on its rear. The device will also use a 5-megapixel front facing camera that includes a special "selfie mode" to help users take the best possible picture of themselves.
HTC Match is a software feature that will make it easy for users to move to the All New HTC One from their current smartphone. The guide also lists some of the smartphone's specs, like a 5-inch 1080p display, 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, and 2,600 mAh battery.
HTC will make all of this and more official on March 25 and we'll be sure to keep you updated.
