HTC is jazzing up the One M9 in hopes of making a splash in China.
The company sent out invites for an unveil of its rumored One M9 us on April 8. Though since the invitations went to Chinese media, we’re unlikely to see the phone here in the U.S. (Or at least, not for a while.)
However, it’s another telling sign of HTC’s strategy to try compete more aggressively in several markets. Certainly it feels a bigger screen size matters there, though it doesn’t go to the full phablet level like the Galaxy Note 4.
Fortunately, we have a fuller picture of what’s coming. Android lice posted several leaked images that give us a sneak peek at a rather odd-looking device, with a fingerprint reader that looks like a repressed Samsung home button a bulked-up camera on the back.
According to a leaked screenshot, the M9 us sports a 5.2-inch, 1440p D screen with 3GB of RAM 32GB of storage. It’s powered by a Tek MT6795T processor. Details show a 20Mcamera just like the newest One M9, though it also includes a Duo Camera sensor. The One M9 just has a single shooter on the back.
y this matters: HTC is trying to make this the year it rides a comeback, hoping its new HTC One M9 fresh leadership from new CEO Cher ng will turn the tide. It’s a tall order with a lot of hype for the Samsung Galaxy S6 plenty of other Android phones headed out the door this year.
