A new HTC flagship phone could be the focus of an upcoming event on March 25. The Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer has sent invitations to several publications for simultaneous events in New York and London. Although the invite had little clues, it might indicate the company is set to launch the successor to its HTC One smartphone.
“It’s about time for the best to get even better,” the invitation exclaimed. “This is HTC’s next big product that will be our primary flagship for 2014.”
Details about this new HTC flagship phone, which some say will be named “HTC One 2,” have been minimal. Recent rumors suggest that the new smartphone will have a 5-inch touch screen with 1080p resolution, 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800, 3GB of RAM, and will run on Android KitKat. It will also have a second camera sensor at the back, which is designed to improve focus and light metering.
The new mobile device will debut a month and a day after Samsung alllegedly launches its latest smartphone, which is said to be the Galaxy S5, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. This handset could be a make-or-break for HTC, which has experienced financial struggles as of late and barely making a dent in a market dominated by Samsung and Apple.
Apart from introducing the new HTC mobile devie, the company has launched the “HTC Advantage” program on Monday in hopes of boosting its profile in the United States. HTC flagship phone owners are given two years’ worth of Android updates, replacement of cracked screens for six months, and additional Google Drive storage.
