HTC Desire Eye leaked with 13MP front facing camera and LED flash
As we near HTC’s “Double Exposure” event on Wednesday, we’re now receiving hints that the Taiwanese manufacturer could be planning to announce more than just a simple GoPro competitor. We’ve heard talk of a revised HTC One M8 with a 13MP shooter dubbed the “HTC One M8 EYE,” and now it seems HTC could be planning something similar for their Desire line of handsets.
HTC was one of the first OEMs to pack a high-res 5MP “selfie” camera on their handsets but apparently that was just the beginning. Leaks from a variety of sources have seemingly confirmed the existence of an HTC Desire Eye, a smartphone equipped with both a 13MP wide-angle camera on the back and the front. Press renders of the phone have been leaked in red and blue and if the very large camera cutouts on the front are any indication, these rumors have grown a few more legs to run on.
After trying to sell their 4MP UltraPixel camera for so long, it seems HTC is finally ready to throw in the towel and give the consumers what they really want — moar megapickles.
Of course, the actual quality of the camera remains to be seen. We found the 5MP front facing shooter of their current devices (like the HTC One M8) lacking.
Rumors point to the HTC Desire Eye coming equipped with a 2.3GHz Snapdragon S801, 5.2-inch 1080p display, 13MP rear/front facing cameras, 2GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, and a 2,400mAh removable battery. Of course Sense 6 is on board and the phone could have an IPX7 rating for water resistance.
