The All New HTC One also known as the HTC M8 and HTC One 2 has a March 25 release date and will have specs that include an upgraded version of BoomSound.

HTC released a new clip that details the upgrade made to the front speakers. Watch it here.

During the video one of the actors pulls out the new HTC smartphone and prepares to talk about the new features. While he's talking the device is blurred out and his words are muted.

It is not clear exactly what changes will be made to BoomSound, but the clip basically says the new version will be better. Sound is probably one of the strongest selling points for HTC.

The device's release event will take place on March 25. The unveiling will be held at a dual event in New York and London as invitations for it were sent out last week.

The new HTC One is rumored to feature a 5-inch display with Full HD resolution, a Snapdragon 800 processor and a dual-lens camera that has been discussed in more detail in past leaks.

A screenshot of the homescreen for the upcoming HTC handset also surfaced this month through @evleaks. It displayed on-screen buttons and a few new design tweaks that incorporate the latest version of Android 4.4 KitKat.

The screenshot reveals a new on-screen navigation bar and buttons. HTC is expected to ditch its capacitive buttons and the picture points to this becoming a reality. The device used transparency for the dock background with the entire theme being lighter and more cheerful.

The new HTC One will go up against the Samsung's Galaxy S5 and the iPhone 6 which are also expected to be released later this year with the S5 arriving in the spring and the iPhone hitting stores in the fall.
