HTC Ocean
HTC Ocean concept phone is revolutionary technologies that HTC plans to be using on future devices. HTC Ocean will come in 3 versions, dubbed Ocean Master, Ocean Note
and Ocean Smart.
The info arrives via a tweet from @LlaTooFeR and
seems to imply we’re about to witness the debut of a family of devices. Ocean
Master could end up being the flagship, while Ocean Smart may be a midranger
and the Ocean Note could a stylus-totting model. The HTC
Ocean models will borrow a few cues from the HTC 10’s design, they’ll come with
aluminum bodies and 2.5D glass panels upfront.
The lack of physical buttons is the core here and a
new type of control method called Sense Touch will be used. Basically you’ll be
touching the metal frame in certain areas instead of using buttons. The
handsets will track the hand and finger placement, in order to determine the
type of action performed by the user, either a swipe or tap.
The lack of a visible fingerprint scanner may also
mean it’s embedded in the screen. To top it all there’s also a dual back camera
here. Expect a 2017 debut.
