New HTC 10 (M10) photos leak out showing white and black variants

This year, HTC is a little behind Samsung, LG, and Sony when it comes to announcing a new flagship smartphone. Nevertheless, it's said that the company is planning to unveil a flagship device sometime soon, and the latest official teasers (see here and here) make us believe that this will happen before the end of March.

Yesterday, we heard that the upcoming smartphone will not be called HTC M10, as initially assumed, but simply HTC 10. We also saw images showing the handset's black and black-on-silver versions. Now, we can take a look at even more images, including a render that reveals a white-on-silver variant of the HTC 10.

Design-wise, the HTC 10 is quite different from the One M9, One M8, and One M7 (perhaps that's why HTC is ditching the M from its name). The handset doesn't have prominent front-facing speakers, instead coming with a home button that includes a fingerprint sensor. All in all, what we have here is an all-metal smartphone that kind of resembles the HTC One A9, though its rear still reminds us of the One M series.

Like Samsung's Galaxy S7, LG's G5, or Sony's Xperia X Performance, the HTC 10 is likely powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor. Other expected features include a 5.2-inch Quad HD (1440 x 2560 pixels) display, 4 GB of RAM, and a 12 MP UltraPixel rear camera. So, are you excited about this next-gen HTC smartphone?
