One of the facts of digital life that we might not like but would probably have to accept is that this really is the age of the selfie. Just a few days away from its supposedly official reveal, new pics of HTC‘s new “ultimate selfie” phone, the Desire Eye, have been leaked once again. This comes on the heel of reports that the OEM’s newest product (or products) will be focusing on the photo and video taking capabilities of the smartphone/s.
Late last week, details about the HTC Desire Eye were leaked by Upleaks, which have had a good track record when it comes to HTC devices. While reports show that it does have some serious hardware (Snapdragon 801 quad-core 2.3GHz processor, 2GB RAM, 32GB internal memory, 5.2-inch Full HD 1080p screen), the ultimate feature of the smartphone is definitely the front-facing camera, or what is now known as the selfie cam. Both the rear and front camera will have a 13 megapixel resolution. The selfie cam will also have all the other features that the (formerly main) rear camera has, including auto-focus, flash, etc.
The new leaks also reveal that the HTC Desire Eye has IPX7 meaning it has protection from dust and moisture and can be immersed in about 1 meter of water for about 30 minutes. Of course the new smartphone will be running on Android 4.4.4 but it will also have a modified version of HTC’s own Sense software suite, this time with version 6 already. They will also be releasing a new software that is specially made to create high-quality selfie photos and will also be available for other HTC products like the One E8, Desire 816 and the flagship M8, among others.
In keeping with the new focus of HTC products, there will be a new camera-related product that will also be reportedly unveiled on October 8. This will supposedly compete with the hugely popular GoPro mobile camera. We just have to wait a few more days to see if this is indeed the direction that HTC is going.

With that HTC bar it’ll be so tall….
But does it have band 12 support
One can only wish the HTC bar is gone too, I can do with smaller boomsound speakers but please remove the dumb bar. I’d totally upgrade from my htc one m7 for that.
I’d upgrade from the m8
No one seems to be talking about it, but the boomsound speakers are gone…….
