HTC is expected to launch the One M8 Ace and the One M8 Prime in the coming months. The former has now made its way to the Chinese certification site TENAA with an image in tow.

It seems like HTC is going in a different direction as far as the design is concerned with what seems like a uniquely shaped speaker grille, quite dissimilar from the One M8.

If the press render is anything to go by, the bottom and the top bezel of the smartphone will be covered entirely by speakers. This could mean that the device could carry a slightly advanced version of the BoomSound speakers from the M8, or maybe it’s just a cosmetic enhancement to make it stand out.

The back is exactly what we expected with a solitary camera and a LED flash right above it. So design wise, the smartphone is pretty similar to the One M8 barring a few changes. The smartphone is expected to carry a polycarbonate body unlike the One M8 in order to save costs and we expect to see a slightly toned down internal hardware as well.
