by Anton D. Nagy | February 19, 2013 8:00 AMRead OnWe knew it was coming sooner or later and with HTC's New York (and London) event, it is happening today. The Taiwanese phone-maker is one more key player that decided to move away from trade shows making Mobile World Congress just a tiny little bit unexciting and poor. The HTC M7/One has been rumored for quite some time and we're finally getting an announcement at 10:00 AM EST. The 2013 Android flagship made in Taiwan will be unveiled and we're giving you our first impressions about the phone, in real-time, as it happens. Check out our live hangout to be on top of news and hear our ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 15, 2013 3:40 PMRead OnHTC has really been saturating social media with teases for its February 19 event and the expected HTC One reveal, and you already may have seen it post images of a metallic slab and close-up eyeball, both showing glimpses of its new phone and promoting the event's date. Today there's a new one going out, showing a grouping of camera lenses and accessories. Like the others, that February 19 date is hidden in here as well, with 2, 9, and 13 spaced-out around the lens's rim. But besides simply teasing that date, can we read anything else from this? Despite the logo being blurred-out, this is ...

Read OnIt's seeming more and more likely that HTC's M7 will make its debut at the HTC One, and with just five days to go until the company's press event, the full story on the phone will be available very soon. In the meantime, some new rumors have arrived to help give us an idea of just how the smartphone will ultimately go up for sale, where you'll find it, and how much you could hope to pay. Last week, we saw some evidence suggesting that the handset could come to Europe on March 8, but today we look at its US release. According to this new info, T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T could get the ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 14, 2013 11:47 AMRead OnStill not sure which side to take in the HTC M7/HTC One controversy? While HTC itself seems to keep using M7, as we've from CEO Peter Chou himself, and seen referenced in the directory structure for the new teaser ads on the company's site, there's been growing support for One since we first heard the name rumored, seeing it pop-up on a UAProf listing. Now, we're still not willing to dismiss the idea that the handset could arrive under both names, possibly in different regions, but today we get some new evidence in favor of the HTC One, thanks to an eagle-eyed sports fan. At the Celtic ...

by Taylor Martin | February 14, 2013 7:00 AMRead OnCamera quality is just one of the many metrics we use to gauge the overall capacity of a smartphone. Alongside performance, battery life, display quality, storage capacity, memory and a host of connectivity and sensors, the camera is one of the more important qualities of a smartphone. Specifications and performance are quickly approaching a threshold where reasonable and modest have been replaced with exceptional and excessive … in a good way. Only two areas are in dire need of improvement: battery life and image sensing. Battery life has met its fair share of hurdles over the years. ...

by Michael Fisher | February 13, 2013 3:22 PMRead OnRarely has the "lull" between trade shows given us so much to talk about. We kicked off the week with an exciting announcement welcoming two new members to the Pocketnow team, and since then we've barely been able to keep news, editorials, and videos on the front page long enough to read them. This feed is on fire. From ever-strengthening rumors about the HTC M7 and Samsung Galaxy S IV, to interviews with newcomers like Jolla, to new looks at old friends with BlackBerry 10, to modding and jailbreaking today's top smartphones, we've gotten a lot done since the last episode of the Weekly, ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 13, 2013 11:28 AMRead OnHTC continues its ongoing mission to keep building up excitement for its February 19 event, where it will almost certainly reveal its new Android flagship, the HTC M7 (or possibly the HTC One). Its latest salvo is a countdown clock, ticking away until that event's set to get started, highlighted with some short teaser videos of the new hardware. Digging into the page's code reveals it's pulling these clips from an "m7teaser" directory, and HTCSource managed to extract the set and upload them to YouTube for our watching convenience. While these shots are exceedingly brief, what little we ...

by Jaime Rivera | February 12, 2013 7:00 PMRead OnWatch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about the iOS 6.1.1 update and what it means for the Jailbreak community. Then we move to competing grounds and talk about Android 4.2.2, which just got released. The Galaxy S IV continues, though the rumors of a Galaxy S IV mini have us more skeptical than pleased. Then we talk about Nokia's recent leak of a probable tablet coming soon. We end today's show with a minor load of confusion, as now we can't figure out what the final design of the HTC M7 will be. All this and more after the break. Stories: - iOS 6.1.1 Could Arrive Very Soon, Fixing 3G ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 12, 2013 4:57 PMRead OnWe've heard HTC's Peter Chou talk about how the company needs to get smarter with how it advertises its smartphones, and based on the teasers it's been releasing over the past couple weeks for its upcoming February 19 event, it just might have this buzz-building routine down. The latest isn't quite so eye-catching as last week's but it may just give us our first official look at HTC's next flagship. Like we said, this is pretty far removed from that weird "Alive Soon!" image that came out a week ago, and at first glance, it's just parroting the already-revealed date. Take a close look at ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 11, 2013 4:14 PMRead OnLast week, a rumor suggested that the HTC M7, the company's 1080p Android that we're hoping will be publicly revealed next week on February 19, would actually arrive as the HTC One. That info came from a very reliable tipster, but any rumor is a lot nicer when you can add a little confirmation to help back it up, and now we have what looks like some pretty compelling evidence in support of the HTC One name, in the form of a UAProf file from HTC itself. The UAProf for HTC's model PN071 clearly identifies the handset as the HTC One. The presence of specs like a 1920 x 1080 resolution makes ...

by Taylor Martin | February 11, 2013 10:46 AMRead OnThere are few markets in the world that host as vicious competition as the mobile market here in the United States. Every move by every company is literally do or die. In just four years, we have witnessed a handful of mobile companies fail – some new companies that couldn't find a foothold and older companies that couldn't keep up with the changing of the tides. We are only about a month and a half into 2013, yet the competition is as heated as ever. One of the largest trade shows of the year, where we saw several high-end 1080p handsets and even a gargantuan 6.1-inch smartphone, is a ...

Our first look at the then-HTC-M7 showed us a phone that appeared drastically different from the hardware we subsequently saw in follow-up renders and pics. The handset featured extensive grille designs on both the top and bottom of its face, reminiscent of the sort of thing we see at the top of the 8X, but far larger, possibly suggesting stereo speakers. While that layout hadn't appeared since, it's now back courtesy of tipster evleaks, just a few days after he claimed that the M7 will actually arrive as the HTC One. In the newly leaked render, we see that same old design married to a ...
