Source says Verizon HTC device in testing has Snapdragon 835
The next true HTC flagship will be a while yet, it seems, and with conditions surrounding the current Qualcomm powerhouse chipset, we'll have to be patient.

Here’s an extremely, highly doubtful diagnostic spill of HTC 11
Is there an HTC 11 to even talk about? And given the diminished role of the "One" branding in HTC's mobile lineup, would it have top-end specs?

HTC has “something big” up its sleeve “for U”, coming January 12
Why are mobile tech companies so shy about unveiling exciting new products at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas these days? We honestly can’t remember one decent gadget premiered last year to go on and rack up respectable sales numbers, and now once again the expo is shaping up rather uneventful as far as we’re concerned.
What’s odd is that HTC has just begun teasing “something big” coming mere days after CES 2017’s conclusion. Specifically, something “for U” to be announced Thursday, January 12. Unfortunately, that’s still not very specific, with venues, names and even product categories tough to crack based solely on HTC’s awfully cryptic image above.
Are we looking at a new smartphone here? Perhaps the “real and alive” Ocean with Sense Touch? A more conventional HTC 11 flagship model? How about the Taiwanese OEM’s fabled, oft-delayed first ever smartwatch? A revised Vive virtual reality headset?
It’s way too early to call it, especially lacking any shred of concrete evidence, but our money is on a slightly lower-profile UA HealthBox sequel. U may well stand for Under Armour, and the connected fitness system’s first edition did see daylight back in January 2016, ironically during the previous Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. Other guesses?

Can this concept HTC 11 make sense as company rebounds?
That’s right, we’re talking about an unfounded, unsubstantiated concept smartphone. And the “HTC 11” is certainly a concept to behold of within itself.
This soon-to-be flagship is coming at a time where the Taiwanese manufacturer is just starting to recover from a badly-performing release in 2015 and a rumor that it would sell its smartphone business just recently. The market for mobile seems to be tapped out and has little or no room for HTC at the moment, but it could make a bold material argument for consumers as it tries to break even on the balance sheets.
So, what does this concept from Chinese social media site Weibo contain? A 5.5-inch quad HD screen, a Snapdragon 835 processor with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, an 8-megapixel selfie camera and a dual-camera system (both sensor at 12 megapixels of resolution), a 3,700mAh battery with Quick Charge 4.0 support and a bezelless design.
Unlike this phone’s competitors, we have heard little from the industrial supply chain about the HTC 11 — no recent rumors about its name, its parts, its design. The 11 may actually be to the “Ocean” concept leaked months ago that showed off a device similar in design to the HTC 10, but featured no physical buttons and touch-receptive siderails that complemented a revised Sense UI software interface. Three devices may come with that design paradigm.
Tech circles have been left wondering how real anything from HTC can be nowadays. We can only provide a generic “time will tell” platitude, but we don’t even know how much time the company will stack before it releases the damn thing.
