Then again, the HTC M8 Ace is supposed to be designed as a cheaper version of the One M8 while maintaining some of its shared specs, thus allowing it to compete with other high-end devices from other Android OEMs, such as Samsung, LG, Sony, and so on. The website also published a set of purported hardware specs of the phone, most of which seem to be in line with what we have heard so far.
This includes a 5-inch Full HD 1080p display, with a Super LCD3 screen. It will also be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core chipset clocked at 2.5GHz, accompanied by 2GB of RAM, 16/32GB storage options with the ability to expand the memory via microSD, and a 2,600mAh battery. The M8 Ace will not be using the UltraPixel camera technology, and will instead pack a 13MP rear-facing camera, and a 5MP front-facing camera.
The phone will also come with Android 4.4 KitKat preinstalled with HTC’s Sense 6.0 UI layered on top. As we can see in the image above, the HTC M8 Ace will feature BoomSound speakers as well, although oddly enough this rendering shows the BoomSound speakers to be slightly more conservative versus the image from TENAA, where the BoomSound speakers appeared to be larger.
