Not actual M7 photo, but you get the idea…

The HTC M7 has been rumored to be the next flagship from HTC (which we hope would be able to do decently in the market when released considering how HTC’s performance has not been the best in recent quarters among the rest of the Android smartphone manufacturers), and we cannot wait to get our hands on it as well as learn more about the handset. Well, the HTC M7 is said to continue from where the One X and One X+ left off, and there was anticipation that HTC would make an announcement of the M7 at Mobile World Congress that is happening in Barcelona, Spain, next month.

Apparently, it could even it presented officially as early as next week at CES 2013. This rumor gained traction from a tweet by XDA member Football who has been pretty spot on in the past concerning information surrounding HTC devices. The HTC M7 is said to have ditched hardware touch buttons and rely on full screen buttons, with a 4.7” Full HD display being most likely alongside the rest of the bells and whistles that would clearly place it at the high end side of things.

CES: CES is the acronym for the (International) Consumer Electronics Show, one of the largest consumer-electronics shows in the world. Although it is held in Las Vegas today, the first CES happened in June 1967 in New York City and Bob Gavin, the CEO of Motorola was the opening keynote speaker for that first edition. Subsequently, CES was held twice a year: the summer edition was in New York, and the winter edition was in Las Vegas, that is, until 1998 when CES became a once-a-year show. CES has been the introduction place for key products and technologies, including: Pong (1975), Nintendo NES (1985), Tetris (1988), Compact Disc (1991), HDTV (1998), Xbox (2001), Blu-Ray (2003), OLED TV (2008).

HTC: High Tech Computer Corporation (HTC) is a Taiwanese manufacturer of smartphones and tablets. The company started as an ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) that was building devices for others, but went on making HTC-branded smartphones based mostly on Microsoft's Windows operating system (OS) for mobile. In 2009, it began to shift its core focus away from Windows mobile devices to Android-based ones. In 2010 the company went back to the Windows Phone eco-system.
