HTC announces the plastic-bodied One E8

Last Thursday, we saw HTC seemingly confirm a smartphone we’d been keeping an eye on for the past several weeks, the model we’ve been talking about as the M8 Ace. HTC China hosted some pages related to a contest for the phone, but we didn’t see any corresponding launch announcement. Had someone jumped the gun? And were we ever going to learn of a more formal name for this phone than the One “Vogue” or “Fashion Edition,” not really sure if ...

HTC confirms One M8 Ace as page goes live for this “Fashion Edition” smartphone

Yesterday we ran across a bunch of pics of the rumored HTC One M8 Ace, a cousin to the One M8 for China that makes a few hardware changes, like dropping the Duo Camera for a 13MP shooter. The language barrier made digesting that find a little difficult, but the images all looked very polished, as if pulled from official promotional material. Apparently there’s a good reason for that, as the source for that imagery has now emerged, and it’s HTC’s own site.HTC China appears to have foregone any big event ...

More recently, it’s felt like we’re closing-in on the answer, with a number of finds depicting the ...

HTC M8 Ace shows up in possible render with new launch name suggestion

Over the course of the past week, a bunch of new information has arrived concerning rumors of a new HTC One-series model, the M8 Ace. First we got a render that was supposedly confirmed by a second source, and then we saw China’s TENAA publish official pics of a phone that sure seemed to match the initial leak that arrived all the way back at the start of April.

Is this the HTC M8 Ace? Sources claim render is legit

We just shared with you the latest imagery purporting to depict the HTC One M8 Prime, and while that’s the highest-profile HTC smartphone we’ve been hearing rumors about, it’s not exactly alone. There’s also been this confounding talk of an HTC M8 “Ace,” which has been quite difficult to get a read on. An early leaked pic revealed little besides a red body, and subsequent ...

HTC teases weird-looking “One” for China; is this the Ace?

For about the past month now, we’ve been hearing talk about an HTC One M8 Ace, supposedly a new variant of the flagship that swaps its metal body for a plastic one, with the aim of coming it at a much lower price – the name may be different, but not too far removed from the idea of Butterfly models in the past. The idea makes enough sense, but the details so far have been a little wonky – like that initial image leak with a really queer-looking red design. ...

HTC M8 Ace may take aim squarely at the Galaxy S5 with cheaper alternative

Three weeks back, we checked out a weird-looking leak of what was supposed to be an upcoming HTC Android, the M8 Ace. It had the general layout of the One M8 but seemed to be constructed of an odd, almost fabric-like woven material – of maybe that was just a case. Regardless, we didn’t get to see very much of the hardware, and were left to speculate as to what the device might be. Would it be something like a Mini or a Max? Perhaps a budget device that wasn’t a Desire model? It’s that latter idea we’re ...
