Soon, HTC fans won’t be afraid to let out their inner shutterbug.
The Taiwan manufacturer is holding a media launch event in New York City on October 8 to unveil two new phones, the HTC One (M8) Eye and Desire Eye, that feature souped up cameras, according to rumors.
The HTC One (M8) flagship smartphone was launched earlier in the year, and while it was praised for its beautiful aluminium unibody chassis and its stunning 5-inch full HD IPS LCD display, among other things, the Android phone’s 4-Ultrapixel rear camera was panned for not being up to scratch, especially when compared with the other flagship devices like the iPhone 5S and Galaxy S5.
The M8 Eye looks to remedy its vanilla counterpart’s deficiency with a greatly improved 13-megapixel rear camera. Indeed, in a teaser photo “leaked” by HTC on its official Twitter account, the HTC One (M8)-looking phone in it does appear to have a larger top camera.

Meanwhile, the Desire Eye is expected to feature a plastic chassis, and features 13-megapixel rear and front cameras.
Some photos of the Desire Eye have been leaked by Twitter tipster @upleaks.

Those who prefer to carry a phone with a more chic and refreshing design will be find the Desire Eye’s smooth, iPhone-quese edges and dual color configurations very appealing.
Specs wise, the Desire Eye is rumored to have a 5.2-inch full HD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core 2.3 GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, 13-megapixel front and rear cameras, and a removable 2,400 mAh battery.
The HTC One (M8) Eye should feature the same specs as the HTC One (M8), bar the new rear camera.
