HTC 'M7' rumored for March 8 release, alternate color revealed

The increasingly less mysterious HTC phone, known for now as the M7, may have a release date that's just weeks away.

That's according to HTC Source, which on Wednesday reported that an unnamed source had divulged when consumers would see the phone.

The Taiwanese company's next flagship Android handset will be released on March 8, following a press conference on Feb. 19, according to this source.

HTC will officially unveil the M7 at that press event, said the source, a claim that falls in line with information from TechRadar's own sources.

M7 rumors

While we know that the M7 will be officially unveiled on Feb. 19, all we've got to go off are rumors and leaks when it comes to the phone's specs.

It's been said that the Android handset will feature a 4.7-inch 1080p display, a 13-megapixel camera, and Android 4.2: Jelly Bean.

These details are subject to change, of course.

M7 in white and silver?

In addition to the release date, HTC Source's tipster also reported that the M7 will come in a white and silver finish in addition to the black version that's already been spotted.

HTC Source speculated that there could be some aluminum involved on the M7's chassis, but we likely won't know for sure until that Feb. 19 HTC event.

Just to be sure, TechRadar asked HTC to find out whether any of these details can be confirmed.

The company responded simply that it does not comment on rumors or speculation.
