Right now, reports of this M8 Prime, as it’s being called, don’t go much further than a simple list of specs. We’re told the phone would move to a 5.5-inch quad HD display, run a Snapdragon 805, and get 3GB of RAM. It might support USB 3.0 and offer 16GB internal storage, but the other really interesting bit here (besides the screen itself) might be what’s going on with the phone’s cameras.
From the description we get, it sounds like the Duo Camera arrangement would return, but not without a few changes, bumping up the main UltraPixel camera to 5 megapixels and going with a big 18MP sensor to help with depth calculation. If that sounds a little odd to you, you’re not alone – the current depth sensor is just a 2MP component, so this order of magnitude difference is quite unexpected.
It’s easy to get excited about stories of a model like this, but for the moment we’d recommend restraint. There’s a long way to go between a handful of specs and confirmation that a model is planned for production, and even if an M8 Prime really is happening, these details could easily be subject to change.
Supposedly, HTC may be planning to introduce the M8 Prime this September. Perhaps at IFA?
