Photos of HTC Desire EYE leak, confirm 13MP selfie camera

A pair of tweets from Russia includes what appears to be leaked photos of the HTC Desire EYE. As we told you the other day, HTC plans on equipping this handset with a 13MP front-facing camera. If you look closely at the front of the handset by the lens, you can see where it says "13MP Wide Angle". While we have seen a 13MP front-facing camera before on the Oppo N1, that was actually a swiveling camera.

HTC is holding its "Double Exposure" event on Wednesday, and while we are expecting a action camera to be announced by the manufacturer, the unveiling of a selfie phone has been long rumored. The initial rumor pointed to an HTC One (M8) with a 13MP Duo camera (and the same wide angle 5MP snapper that currently adorns HTC's flagship model), but that rumor was apparently false.

The HTC Desire EYE should be available in red and blue. There is speculation that it will come to market IPX7 certified, to withstand a submersion in up to 3.2 feet of water for as long as 30 minutes. With HTC making this phone resistant to water, there might not be a dry EYE in the house.
