HTC One M8 Prime renders show what the device may look like

HTC is expected to unveil a new updated version of the HTC One M8 before the end of this year, which will be made out of "aluminum and liquid silicone" and feature the latest hardware. A new set of images have been released by well known @evleaks, which claim to be those of this upcoming device, which is being called the HTC M8 Prime.

HTC's logo can be seen on the front, below the display (which is expected to be a 5.5-inch Quad HD one). Also on the front, we can see dual speakers, a camera, and a mysterious sensor just above the screen. The back of the smartphone has a dual-lens camera with a dual-LED flash.

Previous rumors expected to the device to be named the HTC One M8 Prime, but the @evleaks posts has the device named as "HTC M8 Prime", thus not including the One part. But it's probably too early now to know what the final moniker of the device will be.

HTC isn't expected to announce the M8 Prime before September - although, who knows, maybe it will do it earlier. Reportedly, the handset will be waterproof, featuring a quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM, and support for high-speed LTE Cat. 6.
