Next year is going to be explosive for HTC and for fans as well, with the rumored release of HTC One M9.
The old models of HTC One smartphones were launched during the Mobile World Congress and the same is expected this year, said CTN Technology News. That means HTC fans could see the next-gen smartphone in Barcelona from March 2 to 5, 2015, according to CTN Technology News.
With the fast paced mobile industry, it is not surprising that upgrades and improvements for older smartphone models are almost always in the works. Here are the reported specs for HTC One M9 according to Droid-Life.com.
- 5.5" QHD (Quad HD) display
- Snapdragon 805 processor
- 3GB of Ram
- 16MP rear-facing camera w/ OIS
- microSD slot
- 32/64/128GB storage options
- 3,500mAh battery
The alleged big screen Quad HD display of the HTC One M9 will have it head to head with the super-sized screens of LG and Samsung at 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution. HTC phones are relatively smaller than its competitors like Samsung and LG, but this time around, it might just break tradition by supersizing the screen of the One M9 up to 5.5 inches like the iPhone 6 Plus.
It is without a doubt that HTC flagship phones are among the most beautiful smartphones with their great quality, according to DigitalTrends.com.
By using next generation Snapdragon 805 chipset from Qualcomm, the battery life of One M9 is enhanced. If this is the case, then the two-day battery life of the One M8 would be exceeded.
According to Tech Radar, the One M8 camera has its ups and downs. It works best under low light conditions because of the lens which allows more light to get in. But when taking a picture in broad daylight, you might just have a problem with overexposure. The outlet notes that tweaking the camera of the One M9 would solve the problem.
As for the price, HTC fan could expect around $600 to $750. PC Advisor based their forecast on the previous HTC One smartphones like M7 and M8. For a time the HTC One M7 cost $600 until it depreciated to $560, while the One M8 cost around $685. So it's a safe bet to conclude that the price ranges from $600 to $750.
