HTC M7 and Sense 5 UI leak reveals more details

CES 2013 may be winding down, but the news keeps on rolling. Today, a handful of screenshots have leaked that apparently show off HTC's Sense 5 user interface for Android, which will run on the also rumored M7 that we've talked about in the past. The group of screenshots also comes with a picture of the UI running on an HTC phone which could possibly be the M7 itself.

This is technically the first actual photo of what may possibly be the HTC M7. However, it doesn't show off much, other than the display and a little bit of the bezel. Then again, it looks like HTC will be bringing their polycarbonate design over from Windows Phone 8, so we'll know what to expect slightly, given those circumstances.

The screenshots show a little bit of what to expect out of Sense 5, and it's definitely been given a slight redesign. However, for those wishing that the new HTC Sense UI will someday be closer to stock Android, we can't see that happening anytime soon, since the company loves its Sense interface and many users love it right back.

However, the screenshots hint at a little bit of details on the hardware of the M7. We still see the legacy menu button in the screenshots, which suggest that the M7 will come with the same three capacitive touch buttons just like the HTC One series, with a dedicated on-screen menu button when needed. Overall, though, the Sense 5 UI looks bit a cleaner and simpler than Sense 4.x.

As far as other rumors go for the M7, we're looking at a 4.7-inch 1080p display with a 1.7GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM. There's also supposedly going to be 32GB of internal storage, a 13MP f/2.0 rear camera, 2MP front-facing camera, and a 2300mAh battery to power it all.
