While the Mobile World Congress 2015 is still on March 1, numerous rumors and leaked screenshots have sprung up on various websites with regards to the specs of HTC's new flagship smartphone. Obviously, HTC hasn’t given out any HTC One M9 official statement, nor any details of the device for that matter, at least not until the MWC on the said date.
For the past few weeks, numerous unofficial sources revealed pictures of the supposed One M9 smartphone. The images suggest some of its specs, as well as its body build and size. These give some of the consumers ideas on what to expect from HTC’s latest device.
For the outer features, the design of HTC's new flagship smartphone is said to be almost the same as the One M8, except that there are changes to the rear camera as well as the button placement. The HTC One M9 will also have an edge-to-edge glass display, with two front boomsound speakers in a smaller space at the top and bottom edge of the device. This gives the new device a cleaner look.
Under the hood, the HTC One M9 is expected to run on the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset paired with 3GB of RAM, with a 32GB of internal storage and and comes with a microSD card slot. For connectivity, the device would also have an LTE Cat.9 capability, Bluetooth 4.1 version.
The device is expected to get the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop update as OS as well as its own Sense 7.0 user interface. A gold-colored HTC One M9 may also become available upon the official release, but HTC has not yet confirmed whether it is so..
After the hits of HTC One and HTC One M8 in 2014, the company is looking to make a bigger success with HTC's new flagship smartphone during the first half of the year. For now, the project is still codenamed HTC Hima. However, an HTC One M9 official statement is expected at the MWC 2015.
