HTC has been long rumored to be working on a plastic version of its flagship – HTC One and today, HTC have officially confirmed that by making the HTC One Plastic variant page live. The plastic variant comes in yesteryear flagship – M7’s design language, but with a glossy plastic build. However, since HTC want it to be a direct Galaxy S5 competitor, they are equipping it with the specifications of the current generation flagship – HTC One M8.
The device will be reportedly called as HTC One M8 Ace and will also be referred as the “Vogue Edition” of the HTC One. Based on the official images in the HTC website, we can see that a minimum of four color variants of the HTC One M8 Ace are coming – Red, Blue, Black and White variants.
In terms of specifications, the HTC One M8 Ace will come with specs very similar to the HTC One M8 and that includes a Snapdragon 801 SoC clocked at 2.5GHz, a 5MP front facing “selfie” camera and the BoomSurround speakers on the front. One deviation from the metal variant is that the M8 Ace will come with a 13MP camera on the back instead of the duo camera arrangement on the One M8.
The phone is expected to be officially announced on June 3rd and one of the important factors regarding the phone will be its pricing. We will let you know more as soon as we have information.
