Android Police is reporting that this leaked photo depicts HTC’s rumoured new flagship phone, the M7. It doesn’t match up with previous leaked renders—but these seem more plausible.
Primarily, that’s because the phone in these images doesn’t depart much from HTC’s existing style: a neat black rectangle, matt black back, and overall fairly reminiscent of the Droid DNA. Weirdly, though, the device seems to have the usual Android home and multitasking buttons switched—which could cause more than a little confusion.
The screenshot also appears to show the phone running some new software, which Android Police claims is Sense 5.0. If that’s the case, it looks pretty good: simplified, sleek and a far cry from the bloated software HTC phones of old used to pack.
Of course, these images might not be of the rumoured M7—hell, they might not be a real HTC phone!—but if they are, don’t expect the sleek iPhone replica that previous renders suggested. Chances are we’ll find out more at the Mobile World Congress next month. [Android Police via Verge]
This Is Apparently What the HTC M7 Flagship Phone Will Look Like

Rumour: HTC First Might be the New "Facebook Phone"
It’s the same as HTC 8X
That would be no bad thing – the 8X is a very nice phone in the hand.
Never buying another HTC again, pass.
Agreed. I’m on my 3rd flagship HTC and won’t be repeating my purchase
Sense UI is good but their rolling out of ICS was a rigth mess and I had to download it from their HTCDevs website, terrible.
I too am on my 3rd flagship and have liked them all. How can you not love the One X?!
HTC made it impossible to root new handsets and ICS doesn’t look as neat as stock Android either, for example the dial pad still looks old and battery being on green and not cyan etc.
I beg to differ, I’m sitting here with my rooted and modified One X right now…
