HTC M8 put on display, compared to One max in new set of leaked photos

At this point, HTC’s follow-up to the One has leaked more times than anyone can count. We’re not ones to turn down a new batch of freshly-leaked photos of unannounced smartphones, though, which is why we’re sharing some new images of HTC’s upcoming handset with you this morning.

Posted to Chinese social networking site Weibo by user TD Beta, the photos offer a clear, close-up look at the HTC M8 in the wild. We’re treated to views of just about every angle of the M8, including its dual rear cameras and rounded corners. Also included in today’s leak are some shots that compare the M8 to its older, bigger HTC One max sibling. Some of the major differences between those two handsets are the M8′s smaller size, rounder corners and bottom-mounted headphone jack.

While the HTC M8 may feature a look that’s reminiscent its predecessor, there are actually quite a few differences found on the newer model, including on-screen navigation buttons instead of capacitive keys and the aforementioned headphone jack on the bottom of the unit. Plus, the original HTC One was praised for its metal unibody design when it launched last year, and so HTC’s decision to give the M8 a similar look and feel isn’t exactly a bad thing.

HTC is expected to formally unveil the follow-up to 2013′s One at an event on March 25. Until then, you can find more photos of the device below.
