It looks like the first real render of HTC M7 has just emerged after previous leaks showing the alleged phone proved to be inaccurate.

At least that's what the folks over at HTC Source claim. The HTC M7 is the next Android flagship smartphone to be launched by the Taiwanese handset maker, which is expected to be officially unveiled at MWC 2013, in Barcelona.

According to the leaked picture, the HTC M7 will still feature capacitive buttons instead of on-screen keys. For some, this is a real downside and reasons to move away from HTC brand, but others might find it fortunate.

Other than that, the HTC M7 doesn't stand out when it comes to design, so the only things that might set it apart from other smartphones in its range might be hardware and software configurations. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
