EVleaks is doing it again; this time they’re showing us the upcoming HTC M8 Ace, though unfortunately we don’t get to see this handset in a “regular” photo. Rather, what we’ve got is too blurry to reveal a thing. Actually, the cutout surrounding the front-facing camera seems much narrower than on the One M8 has,…
Owners of the brand spanking new HTC One M8 are one step closer to being able to get HTC’s nasty bloatware off of the powerhouse device. S-OFF has been achieved on the M8, allowing HTC’s security to be bypassed to allow for the installation of custom ROMs, bootloaders and kernels. S-OFF is available for every…
Looking for a hot deal on a new Android phone? Good, we’ve got two of them for you! Best Buy is offering the HTC One M7 for just a dollar, and the new version of the HTC One, the M8, for just $150 when signing a new two-year contract with AT&T, Sprint or Verizon. The…
Last year’s HTC One had its real gold version and the new model (M8) will follow suit.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 isn’t set to release in the U.S. until April 11th, but thanks to on-line retailer GSM Nation, you can grab yourself an unlocked international version of the Galaxy S5 a week before its official street date. It’ll set you back $749, but it’s a small price to pay for a life…
HTC has released yet another app in the Google Play Store – Dot View Case. It’s nothing you can use now, but it’s an important step in HTC’s new strategy to offer its apps through Google Play allowing for faster updates in the future. No longer will the process of updating a number of apps…
HTC won’t give up that easily and leave its lunch to Samsung. The company’s CEO and co-founder Peter Chou hopes that the phones like the newly announced All New One as well as the low-cost Desire series will help it grow its market share again, and eventually reach 8-10% of the total smartphone market.
