LlabTooFeR contradicts oft-reliable Evleaks, says HTC One M10 will be 5.2-inch

A couple weeks ago, Evan Blass came out to unveil pretty much all of the upcoming HTC One M10’s specs, saying that — among other details — the phone is going to ship with a 5.1-inch display. Now, famed Android leaker LlabTooFeR has come out on Twitter to challenge Evan’s great track record. Apparently, the M10 is going to ship with a display not 5.1-inches in size, but 5.2-inches.

Besides this, though, Evan’s leak goes unchallenged. The phone will reportedly have an UltraPixel camera with optical image stabilization, and laser-assisted autofocus. As previously rumored, it will sport a Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage (expandable via microSD), Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, and Sense 8.0. Rather than the usual SuperLCD 3 panel, HTC will likely be using an AMOLED 1440 x 2560 display.

As our own Edoardo Maggio wrote yesterday, though, the M10 doesn’t look to have much going for it at the moment. The HTC One M8 and M9 weren’t exactly the biggest successes (in terms of their actual hardware nor sales), and HTC’s One M10 needs to be more than a shiny new phone to make up for past mistakes. Unless the company has some surprises up its sleeve for its rumored post-MWC event, I don’t think this phone will fare much better than its predecessors.

HTC Perfume is going to have 5.2'' WQHD screen instead of reported earlier 5.1'' screen ;)
