HTC to drop "One" moniker for upcoming flagship, could be called HTC 10


HTC failed to impress critics and fans with its last flagship offering, One M9. But that is past, and the company in a recently released teaser video said that it is working hard to make the next flagship even better. That's not all, HTC CFO, Chialin Chang, also said that the next flagship will house a "compelling camera".

 HTC last month started teasing its upcoming flagship with the hashtag #powerof10, giving us a hint, that it could be called One M10, but according to Evan Blass (@evleaks), HTCs next flagship could ditch the 'One M' part and simply be called HTC 10.

If true HTC would be dropping the "One" moniker it introduced back in 2012 with HTC One X, and also the 'M' label which was introduced with the One M7 and One M8. Blass also stated that HTC will not have a Windows 10 Mobile version of HTC 10.

Meanwhile, @xXmoniWHOOPERxX, a well know HTC ROM developer, tweeted out possible specs of HTC 10. According to the developer, the HTC 10 will have a QHD display, Snapdragon 820 SoC w/ Adreno 530 GPU, 4GB RAM, fingerprint scanner and come in three storage options 16GB/32GB/64GB, all of which have been rumored before. However, the developer adds that, the HTC 10 will pack 3500mAh battery, IR blaster and will be IP68 certified for water and dust resistant.

 Blass had earlier revealed that HTC will unveil their next flagship on May 9, however, HTC is yet to announce an official unveiling date.
