HTC 10 may have just been released, but the flagship already has its purported successor dubbed HTC 11 competing for the attention of tech fans. One month after it made a splash in the mobile world, there are already expectations on when the device will come out.

Naturally, the handset is expected to come out a year after its predecessor hit the market. Since HTC 10 was just made available last month, an April release for HTC 11 is very likely.

Although new HTC releases were always unveiled March, the HTC 10 came in a bit late. This delay will certainly impact the amount of time the Taiwanese tech firm will get for the development and production of the HTC 11.

Unless it wants to return to its March schedule, HTC will take its sweet time (usually one year as any other companies) to work on the HTC 10 follow-up. With that in mind, the April launch may be the new launch schedule HTC will follow for its future releases.

When it comes to the specs and features of the HTC 11, rumor has it that the next-generation flagship won't receive a makeover design-wise. That means it will keep the chamfered edges and textured construction the HTC 10 sported.

The look these design choices gave certainly made the device stand out from the rest, which is why HTC might be keeping them in the HTC 11.

Despite the slight change in appearance, the word is that the HTC 11 will be a tad thinner than its older brother for the sake of a classy sleek look.

The display is expected to be at 5.2 inches to 5.5 inches with Quad High Definition (HD) resolution. The camera on the back is believed to still be at 12 megapixels like the one on the HTC 10 and will just keep the UltraPixel technology intact.

Inside the HTC 11 is an impressive array of new and powerful hardware. To power the whole device up is the Snapdragon 830 processor, the latest chipset to come from Qualcomm. This octa-core chip is projected to be the processor that new flagship releases will utilize.

To make the most of the chipset, HTC is allegedly putting in 4 GB or 6 GB RAM, which will be paired up with 32 GB and 64 GB of expandable storage for optimum experience.
