The HTC One M8 Advance is rumored to launch with a plastic body replacing the metallic body of the HTC One M8 which can be considered as the part of cost cutting strategy from the company. The device will lack the Dual Camera setup that was actually featured on the HTC M8 and instead it features a 13 MP rear camera that comes with optical image stabilization. But as the company offers some quality camera experience, it is not a total loss.

In the design section as we already mentioned, it will come with a plastic body. This leak indicates that the Advance variant will mainly target the Asian countries. The pricing has not yet confirmed yet but we believe it will be lower than the HTC One M8’s cost as HTC done some downgrading to this device. The hardware of the device includes the latest Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 805 processor and 3 GB of RAM. Further specifications of the devices are not yet known, but as the device is from the M8 line-up it might carry the same features of HTC M8. So if you feel that the HTC M8 is over priced for your budget, wait for the HTC One M8 Advance.
