Why trust Greenbot
We have previously heard that HTC plans on unveiling its next flagship — the HTC One M10 — at a separate event that will be held sometime in March. However, it was been unclear until now as to when the handset will be making its way to retail stores.
Now, according to prolific leaker @evleaks, the HTC One M10 will be making its way to the retail stores in the United States on the week beginning May 9th. Apparently, HTC also plans on releasing its first smartwatch beside the One M10 at its event in March, and the watch will be making its way to the stores by the end of April.
HTC M10: Hitting US retail the week of May 9th

With LG and Samsung both bringing forward the launch of their flagship handsets for 2016, it is a strange decision on HTC’s part to defer the launch of its flagship smartphone in the United States.
Both the Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5 are expected to make their way to the United States in March or April, so a delayed launch of the One M10 in the United States will spell further trouble for HTC as most people would have likely already bought either of the two phones.
Rumors point to HTC ditching its trademark BoomSound speakers on the M10 to reduce bezel space. Additionally, the handset is rumored to come with a 5.2-inch Quad HD display and have a design language that is similar to the One A9.
