HTC calls first shots for phone launches

At a special event ahead of the opening of the Mobile World Congress technology show in Barcelona, the Taiwanese manufacturer unveiled the new device for the first time, saying it has been designed to be like a “piece of jewellery you take everywhere”.

The biggest area of improvement on the new device is the camera, which in the rear is now 20 megapixels. This has a sapphire glass lens too, and HTC has also introduced a new front-facing camera, which it says is four “ultrapixels” and the same specification as the rear camera in the current generation of the One M8.
