Today HTC announced the long rumored big brother to the HTC One M9, the HTC One M9+. In a blog post posted early this morning, HTC detailed their newest spec monster. The One M9 hasn’t even reached it’s release date of April 10th yet but HTC is already releasing the China specific M9+. In the past we’ve seen bigger versions of the One flagship like the HTC One Max but it’s or lower cost plastic versions like the HTC One E8 but they’re normally released well after the flagship, not alongside.
The One M9 features a 5″ 1080p screen, Snapdragon 810 processor, Boomsound speakers, a 20 MP camera on the back with an ultrapixel selfie cam on front with it’s newest Sense 7 software on top of Android 5.0. The One M9+ will feature a 5.2″ 2K screen, MediaTek Helio X10 core processor, Boomsound speakers with Dolby Audio, Duo cameras with a 20 MP shooter and an ultapixel camera on front and back, HTC Sense 7 and a fingerprint scanner. We’ve yet to see what the MediaTek processor will be clocked at but hopefully it won’t deal with the same thermal throttling issues that have been rumored with the Snapdragon 810 from Qualcomm.
No release date or pricing information has been given for the HTC One M9+ but we will keep you updated.
