The M8 Ace gets leaked, could be HTC’s mystery curvy smartphone

A picture which may show a new smartphone named the HTC M8 Ace has been leaked. Resplendent in bright red, the phone looks like a One M8, but wrapped in plastic rather than aluminum. The sleek, curvy lines could tie the M8 Ace into HTC's recent tease about such as device being almost ready for launch. 

The leaked picture, which first appeared on a Chinese news site, shows HTC is unlikely to fit the new Duo Camera to the M8 Ace. Above the camera lens is an LED flash rather than the Duo Camera's second sensor. The recently announced One Mini 2 also shunned the Duo Camera, and the M8 Ace may end up featuring the 13-megapixel camera which replaced it too.

This isn't the first time we've heard about the M8 Ace. At the end of April, a rumor report indicated it would be a plastic version of the range-topping M8, while another stated the M8 Ace would have a similar spec list to the Galaxy S5, but the eventual price would undercut Samsung's flagship phone.

There's no new information regarding the M8 Ace's overall spec list though, so we must rely on previous leaks for any clues. Apparently, the phone will have a 5-inch touchscreen with a 1080p resolution, and feature a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor. This not only matches the Galaxy S5, but also the One M8, and just about every other high-end Android smartphone on the market.

However, we're expecting to see the first wave of 1440p resolution smartphones, powered by Snapdragon 805 chips, arrive during the second half of this year. Due to the inevitably high costs, this could make keenly priced devices like the M8 Ace more desirable. There's no launch information available at the moment, but if HTC was describing the M8 Ace in its "curvy" tweet, then it may not be long until it's officially revealed.
