Speculations have mentioned that the upcoming One M10 premium flagship by HTC will be featuring a 5.1-inch display, with at least full HD resolution. According to new rumors, however, the new HTC smartphone will carry a bigger and brighter screen.

Phone Arena reported that new supposed leaks seen by noted tipster @LlabTooFeR showed the HTC One M10 will release with a bigger, 5.2-inch diagonal display. The leakster reportedly tweeted this new detail, saying, "HTC Perfume is going to have 5.2" WQHD screen instead of reported earlier 5.1'' screen."

The new leak also said the new phone's resolution will be WQHD, meaning that it will display at least 1440 x 2560 pixels. Meanwhile, the industry follower also noted that the tipster acknowledged the upcoming premium flagship as "HTC Perfume." This tag is part of previous speculations as it is still unclear whether HTC will be continuing its One M brand for its premium flagship iterations or if the upcoming smartphone will go by another name. Reportedly, HTC named its next smartphone "Perfume" as an internal code.

Meanwhile, Android Authority said that outside of supposed new leaks detailing the display, the upcoming HTC flagship retains its supposed specs. Allegedly, the upcoming HTC Perfume will carry the new Snapdragon 820 processor, partnered with at least 3 GB of RAM and an improved camera assembly. Since the upcoming iteration is said to be a premium version of the One A9, it will also carry Android 6.0 Marshmallow right out of the box.

The upcoming HTC premium flagship is also said to feature some new and improved specs. However, HTC may have also changed some internals. Reportedly, the BoomSound front-facing stereo speakers that were signature parts of previous One M series flagship lineups will be absent from the new iteration.
