The device brings with it the newest version of HTC's Sense user interface, version 3.0. The lock screen now allows users to instantly launch into an app docked on it; weather, time, stocks, user photos and social-network updates can all be docked on the lock screen. Apps are opened in one motion by dragging them inside the new lock circle.
Other Sense updates include a revamped home screen and tweaks to the weather app, adding new animations and sound effects.
An HTC spokesman told ZDNet UK that "some elements" of Sense could make their way onto older HTC handsets.
"It's not as simple as taking HTC Sense and putting it on the older handsets. We want to make features available that make sense on the older hardware," the spokesman said. "We may bring certain features to specific phones on a handset-by-handset basis."
