Well it seems that the rumormongers were right again as the Taiwanese firm has recently lifted the curtains on the HTC One (E8). From the specs standpoint, the HTC One (E8) doesn’t differ much from its metal-clad sibling.

However, in exchange for these the HTC One (E8) got an extra SIM card slot which is a more preferred feature for the specific market that it’ll cater to. Aiming "to make the transition from feature phone to smartphone as seamless as possible," the flip phone admittedly has conservative specs but runs on the latest Android Lollipop so users still navigate on a very updated operating system.
