By Vincent Funaro, Christian Post Reporter Monday, January 06, 2014

Specs and the official name for the device currently known as the HTC One 2 have been confirmed.

A new report from XDA member Mike1986 revealed that the new smartphone will be named the HTC One+ and will feature the latest Snapdragon 805 CPU. The news contradicts some of the earlier reports which have stated that this processor will not debut until later in 2014.

The notorious @evleaks posted up most of the components that will be featured in the device in a leak report last week that did not include the processor.

The new handset will come with a 5-inch Full HD 1080p display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processer, 2GB of RAM, an UltraPixel rear camera, a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, 802.11 a/b/g/b/ac Wi-Fi, Android 4.4 KitKat and Sense 6.0. @evleaks stated that these are preliminary specs for the HTC M8 and that none of them are final.

A new concept video for the handset was released last month.

Techradar posted up a two minute clip that shows what the smartphone could end up looking like based on some of the recent leaks and rumors. The design is pretty similar to the original, however, the new model features a slimmer frame and an edge-to-edge display.

The new HTC smartphone could be released as early as Feb. 2014.

A judge ruling in a Nokia vs. HTC case in the U.K. accidentally revealed the release date for the successor to the company's 2013 flagship device.

"HTC is close to launching the successor flagship model to the HTC One," said the judge in the filing. "HTC has not revealed the launch date. Nokia has adduced evidence which suggests that the launch date is in the first quarter of 2014, and possibly as early as February 2014."
