When the HTC One M8 was launched last year, it had all the makings of a top-shelf flagship. Its specs included a 5 inch full HD display, up to 128GB of microSD storage and a Snapdragon 801 processor with 2GB of RAM. Now a year has gone by and rumors of its successor have slowly started to appear.
The rumored HTC One M9 is expected to feature a 5.2 inch display with a 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution, which results in a 564ppi pixel density. This is quite a leap forward over the 441ppi on the HTC One M8.
The handset is expected to come in a 64GB base model and have a 128GB storage option as well with optional microSD, 13MP Duo-cameras, a powerful front camera, a higher capacity battery, and a Snapdragon 805 processor with 3GB of RAM. Android 5.0 Lollipop is expected to be pre-installed, but given that it is a 64-bit platform, we will be a little disappointed if doesn't come with a 64-bit processor. The rumors also expect the device to come with IP certification reading higher than the current model's IPx3.
The HTC One M9 will reportedly be unveiled during next year's MWC in Barcelona, which is set to take place between March 2 and March 5. Previously, there were rumors that HTC may unveil a phablet size device with the above mentioned specs in time for the holiday season, but it looks like HTC fans may have to wait until next year for a new flagship from the company.
