HTC 10 during its launch for the Indian Market on May 26, 2016 in New Delhi, India. HTC 10 Smartphone has been launched in India, at a price of Rs. 52,990.

HTC could be releasing a new phone on Jan. 12 as the company already sent out press invites. The smartphone in question could be the rumored HTC X10.

The date itself is controversial because it is only a week after the Consumer Electronics Show 2017 to be held in Las Vegas. HTC seemingly wants all eyes and ears on them during their presentation which is not possible during CES 2017 considering that they could be overshadowed by other tech giants such as NVIDIA or Samsung.

HTC's press invite has a teaser with the letter U highlighted. There is no indication on which product they aim to release but it could either be the HTC X10 or their new venture into virtual reality.

The Taiwanese company could also be making the HTC 11 which is their next flagship smartphone for 2017, NDTV reported. Due to the HTC 10 being released recently, there is no reason to believe that the HTC 11 will be unveiled in the Jan. 12 event.

HTC 11 rumored specs claim that it could feature a 5.5-inch QHD display which is common in today's flagship smartphones. It will also reportedly have a dual-camera setup for the rear and the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC. It will also reportedly have an astounding 8GB RAM which is overkill even for the hardcore smartphone user.

The HTC X10 is claimed to be a mid-range smartphone with a 5.5-inch FHD display powered by the MediaTek Helio P10 processor, First Post reported. It will also have 3GB RAM which is more than enough for the average user.

HTC will reportedly use the Mali-T860 GPU for the X10 and a 13MP camera for the rear although the front snapper has not been disclosed. The Taiwanese tech company will reportedly launch it around New Year's Day but there are also some who believe that it will be on the Jan. 12 event.
