Taiwanese mobile phone maker HTC has been long rumored to plan the launch of a new flagship handset, called M7, and it seems that it might finally make the move just before the Mobile World Congress kicks off in Barcelona next month.

According to this Twitter user, HTC is set to hold a launch event for the Android-based device on February 19, but it isn't planning it for Spain.

“HTC M7 to be launched during a dedicated event on February 19th, probably in London, not at MWC13,” he says.

No official info on the phone’s landing has been provided as of now, so we’ll take this with a grain of salt, though chances are that HTC will indeed announce more on its plans for the device in the near future, so stay tuned to learn the news.
