I want to see Google+ success so badly, HTC, if your friendstream manage to integrate with Plurk and Flickr, why can't the Google+, please listen to your customers so that we can make one post in Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ in the same time :)

i see no difference between this one and butterfly. only a dedicated shutter and smaller screen. till now we see no improvement in their new flagship, but hope they can improve it.

I can't see the dedicated camera shutter button :(

it is clearly visible in the first pic.

The bezel looks better in this model then it did in the first prototype

30. takay0 posted on 28 Jan 2013, 12:08

wait... this will change.. dont forget you need some space for the buttons and space for the screen.. so it will be smaller then it seems here..
beside i saw i video that they massure it and its too big for 4.7 so prob the bezel will be bigger

Yaay HTC.. Good work.. umm.. get the battery right this time.. A 300mAh is what we need.. :D

11. VJo003 posted on 28 Jan 2013, 06:44 8

16. zuckerboy posted on 28 Jan 2013, 07:16 7

enough to boot the device ^^

Man HTC is so worn out and lacking ideas, inspiration, passion and creativity.
Sony in, HTC out

22. darkskoliro posted on 28 Jan 2013, 08:14 6 1

lacking ideas? People then say HTC makes too few designs, and no one knows what HTC devices are supposed to "Look like". Like with iphone and galaxy lineups. I think this is great, since the butterfly isnt being released worldwide and this will.

12. rickywinataa posted on 28 Jan 2013, 06:53 1

the design is really a trademark for HTC devices, i like how simple their devices are and yet they feel premium in the hand. i hope sense 5 won't disappoint, sense 4 was great but they're as laggy as hell.

13. amitpanchal2009 posted on 28 Jan 2013, 07:01 1

it looks this beast is coming in a very slim body.
and don't worry about sense 5 they already removed lags out of sense with sense 4+. to experience it just take a hands on with HTC butterfly

HTC: Showing everyone how build quality is done right.

26. Doakie posted on 28 Jan 2013, 09:09

I love HTC. They were my go to manufacturer for two years, but all of my HTC screens got dust under them and needed to be constantly swapped out for refurb phones from Sprint and T-Mobile. Once HTC decided to go with the fixed battery design I had to drop them. I burn batteries down quickly as a construction superintendent so I need the ability to swap batteries myself. I wish they would combine their build quality with a phone that has a user replaceable battery.

htc bring us best phone of the year..
design seem to be very sexy..go HTC!!

23. dicemoney posted on 28 Jan 2013, 08:38 2

I'm don't want another 4.7 inch phone the droid DNA looks more advance than this HTC is going backwards

25. AfterShock posted on 28 Jan 2013, 08:56 2

Looks like a OneX update to me.

27. takay0 posted on 28 Jan 2013, 10:05 1

is it just me that thinks that once again the battery is goin to be very low?... lets hope its will be big just like the DNA with 0.3 inch smaller screen, LCD-3

Overall,I guess HTC has done an awesome job with this but looking at the back,it feels as if there's gonna be no way to open it up.This might mean non-swapable battery just like the Butterfly/Droid DNA which is pretty much the same design.

31. KingKurogiii posted on 28 Jan 2013, 14:25

this and the Motorola X are the only phones i would consider right now to replace my MAXX HD but if the M7 doesn't have a big enough battery then forget it.

32. taz89 posted on 28 Jan 2013, 14:46

Looks about the same size as the DNA but a smaller screen... thought it would be much smaller...let's just hope they can fit in a huge battery...out of all the OEM HTC has trouble putting in a large battery
