Specifications for a smartphone called the HTC Myst leaked today. The device will be a Facebook phone, according to Unwiredview and @Evleaks. A "reliable source" revealed information on the phone to the publication and also stated that the handset would launch sometime this year.

Specifications for the HTC Myst include a 4.3-inch 720p display, a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, 1GB RAM, a 5-megapixel camera, and Android 4.1.2, JellyBean pre-installed. It will also have LTE connectivity and Bluetooth 4.0.

This device appears to be the successor to the HTC Status which was a failure on AT&T. It will most likely be marketed as a mid-range handset just like its predecessor, according to 9to5Google.

The company's new flagship device, the HTC One is now available for pre-order in Canada.

Rogers, one of the nation's biggest carriers, began taking reservations for the handset recently. The device can be pre-ordered online through the carrier.

Customers who order the HTC One before March 22 will be eligible to win a Sharp HDTV with a media accessory from HTC. Rogers will also slash $100 off the price of the One for customers willing to trade in their old smartphone for it. This could end up being more if the handset is worth over $100.

Rogers is allowing customers access to these deals only if they decide to sign a 3-year contract. The price of the HTC One will be $149.99 through the carrier.

HTC gave the public a first look at the new flagship device which comes with top-of-the-line specs and new exclusive HTC features such a Blinkfeed, HTC Zoe, and BoomSound last month.

Specifications for the HTC One include a 1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB RAM, a 2300 mAh battery, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, LTE and some major improvements made to the camera specs. The smartphone will be available in both 32GB and 64GB versions and will come in silver and black variants.
