After the highly anticipated HTC M7 failed to show up at the CES trade show early this month, pundits have been expecting that the super-phone would be showcased at next month's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Now reports are saying that HTC's upcoming flagship would be launched in London on February 19th, a week ahead of the MWC. The Android-running device would be the first to feature HTC Sense 5.0, which offers an easier to use UI, a redesigned lock-screen and HTC apps.
What Else You Need To Know
- Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint are offering the M7, according to the reports, indicating that T-Mobile would be the lone major U.S. carrier to pass on the launch of HTC's new phone.
- The 4.7-inch HTC M7 is rumored sport impressive specs, including a 1080p, full HD display, 1.7GHz quad-core processor, 13MP rear facing camera, 2MP front facing camera, a metallic unibody design, and an IR port that allows the phone to be used as a universal remote control.

Rumor: HTC M7 heading to Verizon, AT&T and Sprint, but not T-Mobile
As for the three US carriers supposedly “confirmed” to sell the M7, we have to say we’re a bit surprised of Verizon. Big Red has always been tight with HTC, but do the carrier’s customers really need a sized down version of the Droid DNA with just a few extra muscles? After all, the 5-incher has only started selling last November.
