Apparently HTC may be considering launching a refreshed HTC One model later this year, a device that could pack different internal components when compared with the current model.
One likely change is the move to a Snapdragon 800 processor instead of the Snapdragon 600 that’s currently powering the HTC One, but nothing is confirmed at this time.
Since we’re already approaching mid-July, it’ll be interesting to see when such a model will be launched, if the rumor is accurate.
If this sounds all too familiar, that’s because HTC did the same thing last year, with a HTC One X+ (October 2012) being released a few months after the HTC One X (April 2012).

Ohh yea this would be awesome! Because the One X+ sold so well and was such a big success! HTC's logic makes perfect sense!

Im definintely gonna upgrade my One to a slightly updated version.. yes..............:silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly:

Nice.

Couldn't the refresh be the HTC one max? Because HTC would be shooting themselves in the foot if they did a repeat of last year

They do it again, create rumors out of thin air with no source

Isn't trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result the definition of something?
Now what was that?
wait a sec it will come to me...
Oh yeah INSANITY!

Didnt HTC say they were going to have ONE flagship this year and on a yearly cycle?
If they do this crap again I swear its the last htc phone I buy.

Well they've already failed at that since they have the One and the Butterfly S

It's cool guys.
Samsung is boning us S4 owners too by releasing the Galaxy S4 LTE-A with the S800.
I'll be very happy if HTC made a ONE PLUS with an S800 and at least an 8 "ultra pixel" camera.
I'm already dreaming of my next device...hmm... so many upcoming juicy choices. Galaxy Note 3? LG Optimus G2? HTC ONE +? Decisions....

I gotta say HTCs marketing team is good at being confusing with names

Wasn't there like 5 Sensations? lol
If the next nexus has front facing speakers it'll be my next device.

There was three of them... the original, the XE and the XL (which was just a big, over overclocked Desire HD anyway).

What's the big deal? It's better if they upgrade to s800 processor. I'm definitely going to sell this and buy the new one.

The upgraded one is what the current one should of been to begin with.

There is always something around the corner and HTC have to keep up with the rest or they are going to fall behind that's the way it will always be

Its been a while since ive been using DHD (5 month: quite long if compare to other phone i used..haha)
I've just sold DHD yesterday..
Reason:
1) HTC phones price drop like shyty nowadays..Damn..Better sell now b4 i loose more $$ (Bought at USD 462.53(RM1430 in April2011), sold at USD 388.14(RM1200 in September 2011)..thats +$50bucks lost ><
2) DHD super great development n DEV support quite distracting my studies..haha..eager to try n flash new ROMS n update frquently
3) Android is too fun..too many games n apps..gonna leave android for a while since got SACE exam this november...=P
4) GPS lock for DHD is ugly..staying in Malaysia...previously using RCMix Sense 3.0 v27 and Sense 3.5 v1.2..it sucks..i only get my GPS support for about 20% of my whole GPS usage attempt since past 5 months..Using Sygic n Papago..Dunnoe whats the problem..it my phone
Considering to buy new gadget soon enough (especially after exam =D Nov-Dec)
Any good gadgets u guyz recommending?
Better HTC tweaks capable android?
Tablets? Ipad2? Iphone4? anything?
Damn, I say your lost is quite little. I sold my DHD for RM 700.00
Next phone? Gs2 or drolly wait for the Nexus Prime.

Whoa, you bought it for just RM1400??? Dang, and sold it for RM1200?! That bro, is not a loss.
Considering many new HTC phones use the same cpu as Desire HD, it's a bit disappointment for you to sell your phone. Upgrading to dual core phone doesn't make much difference. So it's either Nexus Prime, or quad core phones.
sg2 maybe something from se
I think that I will pre order HTC Vigor

Buy next DHD lol (I don't know why you had problems with GPS, should be fine as other phones have). If you wait a while, it will cost you almost nothing .
By the way, you won't fix your play-desire by selling play-hardware . It's just yours free will problem, so fix the source .
i think prime is a good choice, no memory card but cloud is coming
Sad you sold the DHD. I would not sell it.
You can look at Samsung Galaxy Note. Looks promising.
Back to HTC big family or SAMSUNG Galaxy
It's not bad sell. I bought my dhd in January for 1000 $ (29000 rub) and now I can sell it only for 300 $ (9000-10000 rub)
I don't see any good phone by HTC now that can replace dhd. But if you like apple - iPhone 4 or 4s - good phone.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
I would look at the Galaxy Nexus when its released. The first proper ICS handset.
You got still much back for your dhd ( you bought it in April when price already dropped ). I think selling your DHD is not a good idea unless its really old, yours was maybe just about 6 months, yes then of course you can still get good amount for it.
Mine is 1 year old now, I got it with a contract so the contract cost me about € 600 for 24 months, so I still have 12 months to go. Judging the dropped price off the DHD which is at € 350 in my country now, that would mean if I would sell it now I would atleast lose 50% off the orginal price when I got it one year ago.
So selling a DHD does not sound a good idea to me, you will need to add alot off money yourself for getting a new HTC phone and they are not so much different from the DHD, they only got a better processor and GPU, this you won't notice really, as i'm running sense 3.5 to on my DHD and it can be over clocked up to 1.8Ghz and higher.
And when you see that HTC still brings out phones with same processor as the DHD, but overclocked at like 1.5Ghz that's why I don't see reason to get new phone, I think the DHD should stick with me until it dies, for like 4 years or so.
Of course I can sell it after I had it 2 years, but then I probably would just get about € 150 or so and keeping it longer will save me more money, of course it depends if there would be any contract which I have now with my provider, but how things look now in my country it seems like the contracts will be more expensive and not giving the same mobile internet as before.
Btw the price off the HTC Sensation is also low, in my country the lowest price right now is € 414, but the contract will at least cost you about € 700 a € 800 with a 2 year contract with mobile internet.
There are no better yet before HTC Vigor will arrive.
It will be small difference to change now.
When we get 1.6 GHz dual core, 1.5 GB internal store and removable SSD card I will consider to change.
HTC Sensation EX is dropped form my side because not removable SSD card (only 16 GB and not to change).

Having alot of fun with this discussion over at the I9100 forums. So I'm posting it here so we can speculate on the new phone which seems beastly.

Yes, but Samsung's Galaxy S series of phones have always had the latest and greatest features available at the time of their release. This shouldn't be any different.
Those features are going to become standard on high-end phones by mid-2012
Edit: Only thing I disagree with is the 2GHz. That's just not practical.
Transformer prime runs at 1.3-1.4?GHz on Tegra3 and gets ~8 hours of battery life. That's with a tablet-sized battery. GS3 probably will ship with 1.2GHz or something, and it'll be up to XDA devs to push it to its' potential.
I have a hard time getting excited about new Samsung phones, because it seems like they always take forever to get released in the US.
I'm guessing an unannounced SGS3 probably won't be available on US carriers for until Christmas time. By then it's no longer exciting.
the galaxy 3 will be next year ?

Won't be available subsidized by a US carrier until November.
will be nice to view new generation galaxy s2 secend year 2012
That has like nothing on the sides to protect the screen. I'm not hating... I'm actually looking forward to the next in the GS line but I really hope that's just an early prototype.
should I use my upgrade for a GS2 or wait for the GS3?
waiting for the S3 is the better choice i think .Other information say that the Samsung Galaxy S3 is with Quadcore-CPU, ICS, HD-Display and 12-MP-Camera
in February should Samsung release it or give us new information
It Rumors thet the S3 should be showing on the MWC 2012
The Quadcore-Prozessor of Galaxy S3 should be clocking at 1,5 or 1,6 GHz . The Special is the improvment in 3D. The Display should be an Super-AMOLED-HD-Display with 1.280 x 1.024and 326 ppi .
I hope its all true
here you see my source where i get the information there are more pictures but its in German because im a German but i translatet the informations.

Samsung to unveil Galaxy S4 at CES 2013

With the Galaxy S3 being a huge success for Samsung, all eyes are on their S4 to follow up on that and Samsung isn’t slacking. In fact, looks like they’re already working on it and have plans to debut it early next year.

Rumors are already abound with the specs of the device, which include a 4.99-inch, Full HD Super AMOLED screen, a pixel density of 441 ppi, Adonis Exynos 5400 Series Chipset, at least 2GB of RAM, and an Cortex-A15 processor. Also, better contrast and refresh rates along with lower power consumption is in the cards. And Mobile Choice reports that Samsung plans to demo the phone at CES 2013 to release it on March 2013 instead of its usual summer release.
First glimpse of Samsung Galaxy S IV coming soon
19 Nov 2012
First glimpse of Samsung Galaxy S IV coming soon
Company likely to show off 5-inch full HD display in January
Screens are becoming a key battleground when it comes to smartphones these days, so it's no surprise to hear that Samsung is set to show off the screen for its next flagship smartphone ahead of the phone itself.
Samsung will demonstrate a 4.99-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display at CES 2013, according to sources in Korea, who in turn cite inside sources from the company. The AMOLED panel is said to be 'very thin', with low power consumption, as well as high contrast and refresh rate. It also has 441ppi pixel density, which is more or less perfect human vision.
All well and good, but the problem right now is Samsung's ability to turn that technology into mass production. If the company can do that (and we really wouldn't be surprised of they do), the screen will be the one used in the Samsung Galaxy S IV, which is scheduled for launch in the second quarter of 2013.
Offering a full HD AMOLED will be a huge and unique selling point, so we suspect Samsung is currently working round the clock to get those production methods just right. If you happen to be anywhere a Samsung installation and you hear the sound of breaking glass, that's probably what is going on.
Regardless of that, the test screen should be shown off in less than a couple of months. We'll be there to get eyes-on to see it in action.

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.

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.

HTC One M8 Upgraded: HTC Prime

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'.

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'.

This was rumoured even before the first one was released so it's not that much of a surprise...
As long as they wait 6 months...

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.
