I hope these are only rumors and this phone will be a mid range phone...

This is either obviously fake or a mid-range device... it dosent even have the dual speakers (boom sound) and it has the older 3 buttons like the OneX.

Why should you be angry.. If they release another flagship in 6 months, good for us. Sell the current one and buy new one. Simple

Actually, that looks like a low-end phone for the MVNO's or emerging markets.
This looks like a mid-range phone.
HTC had three devices released at the same time last year (One X, One S, One V) so to make their 2013 numbers it only makes sense for them to continue adding new phones to their range.
Well they already said that we gonna get only 1 high range. And it is fiiine.
That M4 render majors it look cheaper than any of the competition. I wouldn't buy it.

Definitely a low end phone, they shouldn't be worrying about another flagship phone when I am still waiting for my developer version.
Doesn't that look like the HTC First?
I really hope they don't mess it up by launching a One+ in 6 months.
This is their main problem (ok maybe 2nd after marketing), if you buy an HTC flagship phone you know that after half a year you no longer have the best of HTC (sensation XE, XL, Onex+, Onexl...)
Samsung & Apple don't have this problem.

The phone in the pictures is the HTC E1 (603e) which is a lower mid-range Chinese market phone:

You want HTC to stop innovating or stop producing faster phones even when they can, due to improved binning, just so that you can always have the latest phone?
That sir, is ridiculous.
Perhaps they should make it two years before releasing new models as that is now a typical contract length and European warranty length?
Or three years, because let's face it, who likes spending money?

Exactly all these people complaining about companies releasing new phones. If you can't afford don't buy, it's not that companies have to release phones according to some ones buying habits. There are always people shopping for new phones in different seasons, so companies have to release new phones to be relevant. The htc one 6 months down the line will be an outdated phone. I can easily see an updated version of One with Snapdragon 800 may be.

I don't think we can call the Sensation XE and One XL innovative phones and it's not only a matter of personal preference, I don't think I am the only one in this case.
Last year HTC admitted they launched too many phones and people got lost in all the different versions.
In the end it's a problem of strategy; Apple and Samsung have a simple offer (at least with the flagship devices), which is easier to advertise and apparently easier to sell.
Mystery solved.

Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC will begin promoting its new customizable E1 phone in China, our sister newspaper Commercial Times reports.
Chinese customers will have the option to customize their phone through HTC's website with a variety of accessories including its case and the color of its phone charger, and also amend its features such as the phone's RAM and camera resolution.
HTC China estimates that the E1 will have the highest performance value among the company's smartphone range, with its price ranging from 1,700 to 1,899 yuan (US$275-$310).
The Taoyuan-based company has boosted its market share in mainland China over the past year, but its higher range models still lag behind rivals Apple and Samsung.
The E1 will reportedly sport a 1.15 GHz dual-core processor, 4.3-inch WVGA screen, dual SIM cards and 2100mAh battery. Custom options will include the phones built-in storage (8GB or 16GB), main camera (five or eight megapixels) and one of the six body colors plus patterns.

Got my hands on the S2 today and did a little comparison. I have to say there is little different size and weight wise but the S2 totally sold me and it's feel and the hardware are great. Not sure how Sammy can make the SGS any better. And as for 2.3.3, well I can't wait to get it now on my SGS.

SGS 3 is reported for release THIS year, sep/oct possible release and the true reason apple try to sue sammy.
Sammy have plans to release a flagship phone every 6 months instead of every year; and apple are crapping theirself, also sammy aint allowing apple full catalogue of their technology for them if rumours are to be believed.
Samsung are developing an edge-to-edge screen that they wont share with apple for iphone 5, abd rumours are apple are looking.at sharp to get an edge to edge screen
But with sammy reportedly releasing a flagship phone every 6 months, the iphone 5 will probably be out-dated before its release, with the galaxy s 3 already surpassing it at the end of this year.
All rumours, but it sounds more like the real reason apple are trying to sue sammy.
With ios falling in market share compared to android, and sammy releasing phones quickly, who'd want an outdated iphone?
Rumours are the galaxy s 3, will have a 1.8-2.0ghz dual core cpu with processing capabilities that closely match a PC.
Role on sammy..... End of iphone is near!

I have to say that is very interesting information, logically it makes alot of sense since Apple isn't really a proper hardware manufacturer in the true sense where it actually manufactures the core components that make up a smart phone.

http://briefmobile.com/new-image-of-lg-ls860-and-specs-confirm-s4-cpu-and-nfc
Looking at the specs
same cpu as the AT&T One X or HTC One S (Snapdragon S4)
lucky it doesn't have a ****ty qHD PenTile Amoled (like the Droid 4) but an IPS.
Now let's hope, if this will ever be released, LG will also release it for the European market.
Will this be the replacement for the Desire Z/G2?
What do you guys think?
I hope so..
anyway I'd like to see the HTC One Z :'(
I hope not, and personally doubt it.
HTC creation aside, even a "successor" to the G2 would carry some of the same stylings. Some sort of trackball, a bottom sloped (in or out). Slight angular design, not something that looks like it was copied off Motorola (and their design is bad enough). Not to mention that the first two Gs (in the US) were brought out on Tmobile, not Sprint.
Maybe I'm wrong (I hope not), but I don't see how this could be related to the G2 other than it has a physical keyboard. Looks like it would be a Shift replacement.
I'm not looking at the looks or brand of the next best qwerty Android phone, i do look at the specs, and the specs of this device are pretty good.
The specs of the Droid 4 aren't, so i have never seen it as something that is better then the G2/Desire Z and thus being a 'successor'.
And looking at the qwerty phones that are out there in Europe, if i'm not mistaken the SE X10 Mini pro is the fastest qwerty android out here but it's to small to even be in the same league as the Desire Z. Next best thing (spec wise) is the Desire Z.
So not much choice here.
Ok. I get you now. Successor implies it is inheriting the title so that threw me.
That being the case, this seems like it would be an OK upgrade, but I sure wouldn't put down more than $100USD and a new two year contract for it. Especially since general leaks like this seem to happen months in advance, who know what could pop up between now and then.
Perhaps it was not the best word to use for what i meant but as English isn't my primary language i can't think of another word for it.
True, but looking at the amount of time that has passed since the release of the G2/Desire Z and at the amount of other qwerty-sliders that were released, i don't think we'll be seeing any other phones with full qwerty anytime soon.
oo.. LG..... that's a little dicey............
G2 successor or not, if it comes to T-Mobile and it's not half bad I'll buy it. Because of the QWERTY of course!
I don't think so. I don't see AWS supported, but then again I haven't been keeping up with radio bands in a while.
I've been with T-Mobile since Voicestream, and have been buying QWERTY smartphones since Windows Mobile was relatively popular. T-Mobile has had a new HTC qwerty slider released around the time my 2-year contract ends for around 4-5 phones.
I'm being hopeful that the trend will continue, and that later this year we'll see an HTC slider with Android released around the time the G1/G2 owners' contracts expire. I expect it to have upper mid-range specs, although I always hope for "top of the line."
If there isn't an easily-modified, well-spec'ed qwerty phone released by time my contract is up, I may finally jump to another provider.
Well i do hope so that HTC will release a new qwerty slider, but still all the rumors on various sites aren't promising.

I would personally hesitate before buying a Motorola or LG product due to ROM support and poor product testing before release. Perhaps Motorola will be better now that Google bought it.
For those desiring qwerty keyboards, why not lobby for a small bluetooth keyboard that fits in a special case the also encloses say an HTC One?

I never had a Motorola or LG phone so no experience. But i rather have a less xda (rom) supported phone then one without a qwerty keyboard.
Sure this could work but the keyboard then has it's own battery and uses bluetooth to the phone. I won't even look at the slow bluetooth pairing speeds and extra batterydrain, using bluetooth on your phone for this just isn't practical.
Also i don't want an extra case that thickens my phone.
And if this will be the only available proper qwerty phone in Europe it'll get enough attention eventually i hope.

Honestly LG Replacing a HTC? Na
Everything looks great about the phone except the iPhone 3GS chrome styling and the horribly low resolution screen. That WVGA must be wrong, surely? I remember ages back before the release of the "Nexus Prime", that was said to be WVGA as well based on its User Agent.
I don't think the resolution is to low. 800x480 like the Desire Z is fine. I don't care much about styling, i do care about buildquality, qwerty and specs.

Man I am hoping the new Samsung slider has powerful specs. I hate it when they shaft us thinking we are just texters. And yeah that 5mp better be a joke or must be the best 5mp camera phone. When the Desire Z came out it had one of the highest specs. HTC needs to go back to its root... an HTC One X slider now that is a dream phone.

Its a good Android tablet. For a time at least, lol.
I do agree that given the weight and size its a marvel of technology considering the performance and quality of construction.
Sony appear to be moving in the right direction, lets hope this trend continues.

Have to agree about it being dead around here. There was some activity at first when there a was a prize on offer...but since then, dead
I must admit I knew that if I wanted loads of development I should have bought the Nexus 10. Buying the SXTZ came with the risk of little or no development...and that risk has turned into reality.
On the other hand, the stock ROM is pretty good and at the moment going to a custom ROM means you'll lose more useful features than you gain.
All I really want on top of stock is Nova launcher and PIE/LTA so I can lose all the navigation/notification/status bars. That's why I've gone to PAC.
But I've lost my warranty, GPS, DRM keys, HDMI out, being able to charge with tablet off, and a few other things.
I sometimes wish I'd bought the Nexus 10...but I'm telling myself I've got to kick the ROM-flashing habit.
Oh well, at least I've got my Nexus 4 to keep me occupied

I just don't comprehend why Sony products are favored by developers.... Sony offers so very much better support than other OEMs, like Samsung and HTC, and send updates ,such faster than other OEMs as well. It seems like Sony would/should be a developer favorite, the only thing I can think of is that no major Sony flagship smartphones are carried by the major US carriers, AT&T and T-Mobile have carried 1 or 2 but Verizon hasn't had one since the Play, but there should still be more development.
The price tag is another thing hindering development but not much, the other tablets I was looking at before I purchased the XTZ offered much less for the same amount or more, really the price is not too bad when you think about it. The LTE model is overpriced, $900 in the US when I bout my WiFi model, but I would guess the reason for that would be to deter people from buying it off contract. If money is the issue there have still been major amounts of development on phones and tablets with the same, or higher, price tag, I paid less for my XTZ than my Note 2 or any other phone I've bought in the past few years, so there has to be something I am missing.

Not sure if you guys are aware of the rumors or not, but the HTC One M8 will have a better edition available soon titled the HTC Prime. It's rumored that it will have a faster processor speed, better camera, etc. Here is the link with the details : http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/htc-m8-prime-news/
How do you guys feel about this? Personally, I feel a little cheated. I've heard companies release smart phones to work out the kinks and issues in the 1st edition then recently releases another better one shortly after, butI didn't think HTC would fall in line with that. If this isn't a rumor, Id feel as if I'm missing out. Just sayin'.

Its ridiculous after a few weeks now an inproved version in fact i was pissed off and i call htc who knew nothing very cowardly.
I think it,s an anti-poor policies from htc if all this is true
would definitely feel cheated.
I got my M7 near launch and the only thing that came along that made me want to upgrade was the M8.
The M8 means 8th flagship, how can it be a flagship if there is a better model from HTC out and about.
I hear excuses that this was a premium version, but my M8 is already the most premium device out there.
ho hum, we shall see!

Nearly every other company does this. I'm pretty sure Samsung is doing the same thing...
As EddyOS mentioned, there was already multiple rumors going around before the M8 was released.
Well HTC didn't with the M7 and Apple don't.
Samsung have an obligation to flood the market with every device conceivable, HTC are better than that.

I think HTC is carried away by the other manufactures, but it is definitely not customer friendly
keyword: 5.5"
go checkout the Desire 816, which is also boomsound + 5.5" compare it to your M8 size
and let me know if you still decide to cry
equally s805 power is wasted on the 2k resolution you will be surprised, this is why most OEMs decided to stick to 1080p this round

check the onscreen results...even the Tegra K1 struggles with 2k onscreen
The Prime = new Max
extremely piss off htc it's now Samsung ??
It's a One Maxx 2 and far too big. Just as useless as the One Max 1. Anyone upset at this needs to get a grip. 5MP UP ? No point either.
Sooo... companies should stop improving and releasing new products so customers don't get butthurt? I'm confused. Every company is going to be constantly building and improving on their products. If they never released one because another better one was in the pipeline, then they'd literally never release a single thing. Technology moves fast, get over it.

Exactly. It's not an upgraded M8. It's a new max.
Do not want. Way too big.
IMO this is really unnecessary!
Samsung and HTC could use these new ''features'' in a new mobile, M9 and S6 for example. I bought the M8 mid april, and maybe, soon i will have a ''old device''?
This is really sad...
But, anyway, these new devices look very good inside.

I didn't say they were. But being that the "Prime" has half inch bigger screen than standard M8, it's closer to being a "new" Max, rather than a "better" One.
It's too big for me. I'm not butthurt that they are coming out with it after purchasing my M8. Its a totally different class of device.
I stand by my "do not want."

OK I understand In that case, you're right
I'm okay with this... Bigger screen means more power consumption.. The only thing that upsets me is the better camera rumor.. Even then I'm fine.

Just saw this on GSMA. Specs don't seem to be the biggest upgrade and that price is significantly higher than what we paid for the One.
Source: http://www.gsmarena.com/resellers_start_listing_oneplus_two_months_before_launch-news-10377.php
This version of the phone was at the coolicool site for more than a month!
Simply gsmarena found it yesterday!
yeah I saw the news today as well on several source,
Was hoping they will start to use SD 810, and possibly make the memory convention at least 4gb, to cater for at least 64bit memory space of usable space 2gb max.
I wonder what kinda project their operating system will be based on since they going to do if its not CyanogenMod, it will be one of the biggest challenge they will face especially for user who likes to have their own custom rom.
Four GB of ram on a phone is 100% unnecessary at least for now. Cyanogenmod may still work with them in future we do not know for sure. Even if there is no cm 'S' series firmware available in the future, most likely it will come in nightlies as regular builds.
I keep seeing price estimates of $550 and if that is USD, then I think they are making a big mistake (ala Nexus 6 by Google). To me, I saw the point of this phone as something similar to the Nexus 4/5 - a phone that offered a lot at a favourable price over the competition.
From a Canadian perspective at least, a price of $550 USD will mean an end price of around $780 CDN after shipping, currency conversion (which is at about 16.5% right now) and taxes on delivery. That's nearly $300 more than it is for the OnePlus One (which runs about $500 CDN depending on the province you are in). I can't see anyone up here wanting to go that route since it is the same range as every other Android flagship (which run between $600-$700 plus tax) and unless things improve drastically on the customer support front, there is still a lot more risk and hassle buying a phone from OPO than going to your local mall and picking up a phone. If they get as good as say Google is with the Nexus phones (I had easy RMA experiences with them numerous times with the Nexus 4 and 5 where I got brand new phones in about a week) then that may change my opinion.
Of course, Canada may not be a huge market for them and it's not like our weak dollar is their problem but I think they are selling quite a few OPO's here now and that market I can easily see drying up real fast if they raise the price that much. Thought I thought the same for the Nexus 6 as well and maybe that is selling well in Canada despite it being twice the cost of the Nexus 5.
I believe users who bought opo were looking for an upgrade to nexus 5 or bigger phone then nexus 5, but thought nexus 6 was either too big or too expensive lol. If opo releases one plus two that's significantly more expensive, I see even less people taking a risk on this manufacturer in the future

No body would buy it for that price anyway.... Why would someone buy a Chinese phone for high brands prices
The note 4 would be a better choice..
OnePlus had an AMA today and said they were still using the same business plan of small profit margins. The price would only go up if suppliers raised prices.

I second this... And if these specs from the link on OP are true (since these are just rumors), I will most likely not be getting the OnePlus Two; totally not worth it. I really hope these rumors are fake, or I'll be going back to HTC as my next phone.

Here is the latest from the rumor mill:
5.5-inch QHD display size
Snapdragon 810
4GB RAM
3,300mAh battery
Android 5.0
RMB2,699 yuan ($435)
Source: Gizchina
Via: gsmarena.com
This looks better and more probable than the rumor linked in the OP.
It may also have dual-sim capability and an SD card slot:
A still image allegedly taken from a OnePlus promotional video, supposedly shows a device that might be the next phone offered by the upstart manufacturer. The photo reveals a device that supports dual SIM cards and has a microSD slot.

If this is true (and it's a big if), I sure hope that dual SIM is an option since it would make developing custom ROMs nearly impossible.

Actually, not. This thread is a month older than that one and is more appropriately titled.

Looks like an awful hybrid of the OPO and the Yotaphone..
So OnePlusOne is using the SnapDragon 810 v2.1 ...... But I want the new SnapDragon 820?

You'll probably have to hold out for the LG G4 Pro then, as this rumoured device supposedly features this chip. It sounds like it could be a great handset, hopefully its smaller than 5.7" though, I think 5.5" is the max size for a phone, anything bigger and you might as well get a tablet.
I heard OnePlus is gona push the boundary and introduced the worlds first smartphone with 10k screen and a PPI of 1,000 :cyclops:
