All new HTC One leaks hands-on video before launch

Just before being announced to the public, a leaked hands-on video of the new HTC One (M8) showed every side of the new flagship device and even demoed a run-through of its Sense 6.6 UI atop KitKat.

This 12-minute video was apparently recorded last month but was only released last Sunday. According to the source, the original video was taken down but a copy has managed to stay online. The hands-on look at the new HTC One was neither clear nor structured (but we’re still thankful!) and we’ve only managed to gather few hard facts regarding its specs. Here’s the video:

Recap of the video for the all new HTC One:

Similar physique as its predecessor
Bigger screen size
Dual rear cameras
Different flash (looks dual flash)
Headphones moved to the bottom
Sensor moved beside front camera
Absence of physical buttons
Now has microSD expansion
Runs Sense 6.6 on top of KitKat
Beats Music app
“It has really nice cameras”

Although not everything was discussed in detail, at least we’ve seen it in action, held by someone, and not just in pictures. Also, it’s just a few more weeks until March 25 comes and the new flagship gets official.

Bakit bumili ka ba ng htc one? E nagbasa/nanood ka lang ng reviews online feeling mo meron kana rin nyan. So feeling mo naloko ka nila? #BasagAngTrip

Ung bottom speaker + HTC logo/bezel, epic ang laki kinain space hahaha. Buti na spoil kesa nagkaroon pa ng hype sa isang big disappointment.

Let’s hope the kid gets community service or even life…just for leaking the surprise.

He doesn’t deserve the respect of us techies or HTC itself.

*not the true identity. but He is the uploader of the said video.

Reddit also has posted a $10k bounty for Roshan to give the phone to a rival company

The hands in the video does not look like they’re from a kid. The video also came out during the Oscar’s with Samsung’s ad campaign for its S5. What’s up with the timing?

after seeing various leaked photos, quiet disappointed sa navigation bar, laki ng kinain sa screen, hindi mo maapreciate yung laki at ganda ng screen. parang sony Xperia Z up series. pati yung nexus 5. kung sana soft keys na lang (sana tama) diba? no need to increase yung dimension ng phone.

i mean, ano silbi ng 5.2 inch phone kung ang laki naman ng sakop ng software based keys?

sana may point ako. hahaha

not sure about this pero sa tingin ko mas malaking space ang nakakain ng soft keys…
