HTC has also moved the power button to the
top-center position rather than top-left or top-right. The same
sensor hub and pedometer remains, which means motion launch gestures
will be available along with FitBit integration. The barometer also
stays for weather information and faster time to lock for GPS.
HTC said that China will be the launch market for this phone, with worldwide availability coming at a later date.
