HTC A16 leaked: looking to the stars, but bringing back the bar
June 11, 2025
With Mobile World Congress meredaysaway, the time for leaks has long been upon the smartphone space withSamsung’s Galaxy S7andLG’s G5receiving the lion’s share of the spotlight. Though not expected to launch quite yet, things in HTC’s camp have also been dripping their way to the media, with just yesterday bringing forthwhat looks to be the HTCOne M10.
Today’s leak is of a product that is probably not going to pack the same punch as the flagship One M10, yet looks to be set for the stars: literally. Taiwan’s perennial phone OEM has clearly chosen a theme ofgalacticnature to showoff, if not simultaneously “troll” Samsung:
The leak was posted by Evan Blass, better known by his Twitter handle,@evleaks. He specifies the product as the HTCA16. A larger image will follow, along with several points of interest to discuss:
Nothing is known in terms of specs, however provided this is a new line of the Desire series, expect a decidedly mid-range offering, with either a Snapdragon or MediaTek SoC on board and HTC’s Sense. The phone will probably be made of polycarbonate plastic.
While the image of the A16 looks to be as official as press renders can get, please be aware that as the product has yet to be announced, the post should be taken with at least some degree of salt until an official unveiling is arranged. It is unknown as to if this device will launch at MWC come Monday, or if HTCwill instead wait for a later date. For reference, the M10 isnotexpected to be present at the upcoming trade show.
