As is typical right before the actual announcement, a whole bunch of new details have come out for the HTC One 2014 (HTC M8, All New HTC One). While we've already seen tech specs, features and practically confirmed pics, performance benchmarks usually come afterwards, but somehow Rightware have done just that. Showing benchmarks of the Basemark OS II and Basemark X benchmarks, the HTC One 2014 scored very well in the performance and graphics part but not so well in the browser based tests. The benchmarks also confirm a 2.3Ghz Snapdragon 801 processor with a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution display but we should know everything in a few more hours. The still unnamed HTC One 2014 is expected to be announced tomorrow but there is still no exact Malaysia release dates or pricing details just yet. Stay tuned for more information.

Goophone has a tendency to create nearly identical copies of leading smartphones and this time around is no different as they officially announce their Goophone M8. Now, what other smartphone has 'M8' in it's name? Right, the HTC M8 or the still unofficially named All New HTC One. While the smartphone it is copying still hasn't been launched yet, the GooPhone M8 looks nearly identical to the original aluminum unibody design. It may not have key features like the dual-camera dual-LED flash on the backside but it does look nearly identical at a single glance. You can also get it in gold too. Tech specs for the Goophone M8 aren't bad at all with a 1.7GHz octa-core processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB storage + microSD, 5-inch 1920 x 1080 pixel display, 12.6MP rear camera with LED flash, 5MP front camera and 3G connectivity. At just $230 (RM750) this phone is for those midrange users who like the All New HTC One design but not anything else. Check out the Goophone M8 site for more information.

And the HTC One 2 names continue to grow. Up until this point rumours indicate that the successor to the HTC One (currently codenamed the HTC M8) could be called the HTC One 2, HTC One+, HTC One 2014 and now the "All New HTC One", except this name also comes with a press photo quality image of the upcoming smartphone in champagne gold. With both the new name and image coming from serial leaker @evleaks, it seems almost inevitable that this will be how it will look like as he is usually accurate about these things. Tech specs  and features for the "All New HTC One" include two cameras with dual-LED flash for one of them along with dual speakers and only onscreen controls. HTC has confirmed that the next flagship device would be revealed on 25 March 2014.

It seems to be a trend that big brands are confirming rumours as HTC has officially confirmed that their next flagship device will be revealed on 25 March 2014. So far, all indications point towards the HTC M8, or more commonly known as the HTC One 2 or One+. HTC have yet to come up with a name, but tech specs are estimated to include a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, dual rear cameras with two tone LED flash and a 5-inch full HD display. No news yet on Malaysia pricing or release dates but with the reveal date set to 25 March 2014 it shouldn't take too long to wait.

A newly leaked photo of the HTC M8 gives a better view of the supposedly dual-camera and dual-LED flash setup that the HTC One 2 smartphone is said to be using. The image comes courtesy of nowhereelse, the french tech blog who often get the latest and most accurate of leaks. Previously, dual-camera sensors were only used in 3D cameraphones, with this trend quickly dying out. However, the placement of the second camera above the main camera sensor placed next to the dual LED flash seem to coincide with earlier rumours that one camera would be for low-light conditions and the other would be for normal conditions. No news on any Malaysia release dates or pricing but we're thinking that it could come up at the MWC expo 2014 at the end of this month. Stay tuned and we'll keep you updated.

While the HTC M8 or next version of the HTC One has been making the rounds on the rumour mill, it appears that HTC may also come out with a HTC One mini 2 version as well. This comes courtesy of @evleaks who has offered up tech specs for the upcoming compact version of the HTC M8. These tech specs include a 4.5-inch display with 720p pixel resolution, a 1.4GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage + microSD, a 13MP rear camera and 5MP front camera. The major differences with the original HTC One mini are the larger display, processor and cameras with microSD support but do take this with a pinch of salt as it seems rather unlikely that HTC is going to come out with a 13MP UltraPixel camera anytime soon. We'd love to be wrong in this, but it is wiser to be wary when it comes to rumours like this.

More signs that the HTC M8 (HTC One 2 or HTC One+) is coming are appearing with the latest being a screenshot of the user interface on the upcoming smartphone. Coming courtesy of @evleaks, the screenshot is supposed to be the new Sense 6.0 running on Android 4.4 KitKat. One of the major differences is the row of on-screen buttons right below all those Livetile-like widgets. So far, tech specs for the HTC M8 are still unconfirmed but we're expecting at least a quad-core Snapdragon processor (hopefully an 800 at least), a larger 5-inch 1080 x 1920 pixel display, a dual-sensor 5MP UltraPixel camera and 2GB of RAM. While there aren't any specific Malaysia release dates, the HTC M8 or One+ is expected in March in New York. Still no news on pricing but stay tuned and we'll keep you posted.

Right after the previous supposedly leaked images of the HTC M8 (which is widely believed to be the next version of the HTC One) were called fakes by Marc Moons, Director of HTC Benelux, a couple of new HTC M8 images have popped up. These new pictures are from Russia and offer a number of tech specs as well. These HTC M8 tech specs include a Snapdragon 800 processor, 5-inch screen with full HD 1080p resolution, 2GB RAM, dual-sensor 5MP Ultrapixel rear camera and Android 4.4.2. Check out the pictures for yourself, but these new pics could just as likely be some more creatively photoshopped fakes and get a debunking tomorrow, so take them with a good pinch of salt first.

HTC's rumoured M8 smartphone with a possible aluminum or metal chassis recently got leaked, this time from @evleaks. Revealing tech specs this time around, evleaks says that the HTC M8 could sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset and processor along with a 5-inch 1080p display and Android 4.4 Kit Kat. Unfortunately, none of these tech specs or features really set it apart from other upcoming smartphones. Even more so that Samsung and Qualcomm are both coming out with newer processors and chipsets that have 64-bit architectures and improved processing speed and energy efficiency. No news on Malaysia release dates or pricing but we expect the M8 to surface soon, perhaps in December 2013 or early 2014.
