HTC Sense 6 Details Emerge, Thanks To Leak
Google continues to tweak and improve its popular mobile OS and Android. Manufacturers do the same in every release of their HTC making huge strides ahead of its competitors.
HTC Sense UI improves the look and feel of the software. HTC has enhanced the Android experience instead of simply changing how it looks. The next big news for HTC is seen to be the HTC Two, also known as the HTC One+ and codenamed as the HTC M8.
Rumors suggested the handset will be released in February or March with Android 4.4 KitKat running on it. HTC M8 is the first device with the latest improved HTC Sense UI 6.0 onboard and now a few small details were leaked by the accurate @LlabTooFer.
The leakster confirmed the HTC M8 will have onscreen keys with HTC UI instead of the dedicated capacitive touch buttons of the old Android handset. This one of the biggest and most welcome changes to Sense 6. The leakster even went as far as to comment that he likes it better than Sense 5.5.
The color scheme is not changed and will be the same black, gray and white that users have been used to from HTC. But some apps will have dedicated colors at the top for better distinction. For example, the messages will have blue on top so the whole UI isn't really all dull gray and black.
He continued to say Android 4.4 KitKat and the HTC Sense UI 6 is a lot cleaner than the previous versions, finer around the edges and more polished. All the icons under Settings now have the same feel, which is something that has always puzzled users about Sense.
He was asked about the apps in a carousel form and some other details. But he was quick to say that he still couldn't share all the exciting details yet. Multiple tips and leaks suggested that a mid-February announcement which could be at the Mobile World Congress is when the company will fully reveal its new device and Sense UI Android overlay.
