HTC is set to have an event this coming 12 of January, and leaks of what they are going to showcase there is now up and running online. We have reports saying that the phones we will see are parked under the previously codename Ocean series, with the two models being the U Play and U Ultra.

A new promo video recently shared showing what the phone may look like. The U Play is said to be a 5.2-inch smartphone,  while the U Ultra will be the one with the 6-inch display. Both smartphones is said to come sans headphone jack (boo!) and a special control for the phones itself. There is no physical button, but a touch-sensitive strip on the side that can be used like a scroll wheel for content and actions.

This is a nice change of pace in the world of Android, as HTC is attempting to introduce a new control scheme for their smartphone. Does it work properly? We have to wait and see until it is here in Malaysia, so stay tuned to TechNave for more news and information.
