The anticipated HTC One M10 will not be unveiled in the upcoming Mobile World Congress next month, if a new report is anything to go by. The buzz is that the Taiwan-based tech firm's flagship will be launched in a separate event where it will be the sole star of the show.

Instead of showcasing the new smartphone this February, HTC allegedly chose to take the covers off the One M9 predecessor in March to give way to some minor design changes. This tweak pushed back HTC's plans to show it off during the MWC.

Several prototypes of the HTC One M10 were reportedly sent back to the tech company's design team to be given improvements. It should not be a big of deal though since the launch was only delayed by a month.

Meanwhile, reliable tipster LlabTooFeR claims that the HTC One M10 will arrive in a couple of variants. The first model will be fitted out with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and will only be available in the U.S. and in Europe.

The second version, which will be equipped with an unidentified MediaTek processor, will be headed to China and Southeast Asia. Whether these two versions will be released and be made available to their respective markets simultaneously remains to be seen.

As for the specs of the HTC One M10, the speculation is that it will boast a 23-MP rear-facing camera and a hefty 3,000-mAh battery. It will also be made resistant to water and dust and will feature a fingerprint scanner as its primary biometric security measure.

There's not much info on the appearance of the HTC M10 but fans can expect a very different looking device compared to the others in its family. The smartphone is expected to don the Sense 8.0 UI based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.

The HTC One M10 should see the light of day by March.
