HTC M7 has become one of the most anticipated launches this year, courtesy the innumerable leaks and rumours over the past couple of months. Now the Taiwanese manufacturer has put out a rather bizarre looking teaser that seems to be associated with the device on a German forum. The image released shows a cybernetic heart attached to a mother board circuit as if pumping life into it. The tag line reads as "ALIVE SOON". It isn't quite the conventional way to tease a new device but nevertheless it looks very unique and is certainly grabbing the eyeballs. HTC is expected to host an event in New York on February 19 where we are likely to witness the unveiling of the company's next flagship. The teaser is just a visual offering no textual details. It seems as if we know a lot about the smartphone and yet we know nothing.

Just days back, struggling telecom giant Nokia proclaimed on its official Twitter account how Lumia series is a better choice for business users than the two new BlackBerry smartphones, Z10 and Q10.

HTC is expected to launch its next flagship smartphone M7 at an event on February 19. The device has been in the news for quite some time now. According to Pocket-Lint, HTC M7's camera will ditch megapixels and will have something that the company dubs as "ultrapixels." It was earlier rumoured that M7 will come aboard with a 13-megapixel rear shooter. However, Pocket-Lint claims that this smartphone will feature a camera that will be made up of three 4.3-megapixel sensor layers, which will be combined to give a resulting single image. It is expected that the pictures clicked through this camera would be crisper, cleaner and have a better colour accuracy. This technique is also adopted by Sigma in the Foveon X3 sensor. In 2012, we had seen Nokia experiment with their camera sensor on Nokia 808 PureView smartphone and the result was 41-megapixel monster.
