HTC has announced that it will have an event on June 11 where it will unveil a new smartphone. The announcement was made by the official HTC Taiwan Facebook page earlier today.

The poster doesn’t reveal any key info about the device but the text on it roughly translates into “ New device, let’s play e”. We have a feeling this phone might have some gaming features based on that.

There are speculations that the launch is for an HTC device with model number 2Q7A100 which has been certified in Taiwan and been spotted on Geekbench. The phone is said to have a Snapdragon 710 processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, a display with an 18:9 aspect and a 1080 x 2160 resolution. It will also have dual front-facing cameras and run Android Pie.

The NCC documents also show the device will keep the bezels and not join the notch or punch hole train.

Recent reports have revealed that HTC 2Q7A100 could be an upcoming high-end smartphone from the company. The smartphone has bagged approval from the National Communications Commission (NCC) in Taiwan. The NCC certification of the phone has reveled its front design through a schematic. The image has revealed that the smartphone will be arriving with dual front-facing cameras. Last year, HTC had launched the Snapdragon 652 powered HTC U11 Eyes smartphone with dual 5-megapixel selfie cameras. Probably, the newly spotted HTC 2Q7A100 phone could be the successor of the HTC U11 Eyes.

The schematic of the HTC 2Q7A100 has revealed that the smartphone is equipped with thick-sized upper and lower bezels. Last month, the smartphone had appeared on AnTuTu benchmarks through which it was revealed its display will offer full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18:9.

The upper bezel of the phone has dual front-facing cameras. Its right edge is fitted with buttons for volume and power. The NCC listing has revealed that the phone will be available in Grey color. There is a possibility that it could be also available in other color options.

Taiwanese phone manufacturer HTC has built a reputation over the years for beautifully designed smartphones. However, the company has been struggling to stay afloat in recent times. We have seen the rate of releases drop drastically. The last phone released by the company was the Desire 12s which dropped in December 2019.  A new HTC model recently made an appearance on GeekBench with the dressing of a mid-ranger. That same model has appeared on AnTuTu’s Weibo page revealing some key specifications and the benchmark score of the model.

The unnamed HTC model is listed as HTC 2Q7A100 and packs a Snapdragon 710 chipset which teams up with the Adreno 616 GPU. The device was able to pull a decent score of 169,617 points which is in line with those of other Snapdragon 710-powered models.

The HTC mid-ranger equally packs 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. It is possible there are other memory variants apart from this one. The display size wasn’t revealed but the listing shows the 2Q7A100 model will have an FHD+ resolution of 2160×1080 pixels. The device is also listed to run on Android 9.0 Pie which should have a touch of HTC’s Sense UI interface. We expect this to be the next generation Desire series model. That lineup has been one of HTC’s most popular and top-selling series in recent times. We expect HTC won’t disappoint with the pricing considering Snapdragon 710 models are not too expensive presently.
