HTC One 2 release date is now officially scheduled on March 25 unveiling the "All New HTC One".

The Taiwanese manufacturer sent out the invitations to the members of the press for the imminent launch of HTC's new flagship phone. It was initially speculated that the successor of HTC One will be launched at the Mobile World Congress event later this month.

However, it is rumoured that the release of HTC's smartphone was delayed to avoid the clash with other handsets and devices that will be introduced at the said event. Moreover, a separate launch event for HTC One 2 will largely benefit the handset to get the limelight it needed.

HTC One 2, codenamed as HTC M8, is now officially known as "All New HTC One," according to reliable tipster @evleaks who also leaked the smartphone. The alleged photo of HTC smartphone showed off a great resemblance to Apple's iPhone. @evleaks gained credibility through its leaks in the past that proved to be true. Thus, this recent HTC leak was good as confirmed for consumers.

The latest leaked photo is gold-coloured handset packed with twin-sensor camera along with a dual LED flash. "All New HTC One" also packed dual front facing speakers and the long rumoured on-screen buttons. The Twitter user said that the second generation of HTC One will be available in three colour variants - grey, white and gold.

HTC One 2 is rumoured to feature the same, old aluminum casing. However, it will pack a slightly bigger display of up to 5 inches with Full HD 1080p screen resolution. The handset will be equipped with Snapdragon 800 chipset paired with 2GB of RAM.

An interesting rumour said that the handset will include a second camera placed at the back. The said feature is not for 3D photos but HTC will be the first smartphone to pack two rear shooters. Moreover, it will highly improve the focus and overall image quality. Lastly, the device will pack the latest Android 4.4 Kitkat OS.
