HTC Bolt without 3.5 mm headphone jack surfaces




Not much has been spoken about the rumoured Android 7.0 Nougat-powered HTC Bolt smartphone, and HTC has so far managed to keep the device a secret. That is until leaked renders started making their way on to the Internet in September. On Friday, some fresh leaked images surfaced online that tell us all about the smartphone - at least in terms of design - including the disappearance of the headphone jack.

It looks like Apple's iPhone 7 will not be the only phone in the market that won't have the 3.5mm headphone jack. It turns out that HTC has plans to do the same for its upcoming new phone, the HTC Bolt. It seems like the headphone jack has a new opponent to fight.

The latest images come from VentureBeat's Evan Blass and show the device in the wild, revealing the physical phone and not a rendered version. This is the first time the HTC Bolt surfaces in the wild and the images show that it sports a similar design to the HTC 10 flagship, sporting an all-metal design that makes it look premium although it will target the midrange segment of the smartphone market.


The volume controls and power button are found on the right side while two trays (one for microSD and one for SIM) are found on the other side. The HTC Bolt has a single firing speaker at the bottom next to the USB Type-C port. The main difference is found at the back where the flash module is placed above the antenna line.

The Android Nougat-powered HTC Bolt has been tipped to sport a larger 5.5-inch full-HD display and feature 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. Optics include an 18-megapixel front with f/2.0 lens and 4K video capture and an eight-megapixel front-facing camera.
