We’ve heard quite a lot about the alleged HTC One M9, codenamed Hima, in the past few days. Rumors suggest it will see the light of day at the Mobile World Congress 2015 next month.
Recently, a case for the HTC One M9 went up on Amazon with an expected launch date of February 9th. The case reveals some interesting information about the upcoming flagship device from HTC.
Design and Camera Specifications
Firstly, the handset will carry on the tradition of being called the HTC One. Obviously, the next version is expected to carry the HTC One M9 moniker. Secondly, the camera cutout for the case appears to be different than the current HTC One M8. We’ve seen rumors that the HTC One M9 will ditch the UltraPixel setup, which is present on the current flagship, in favor of a higher megapixel unit. Rumors suggest the handset will boast a 20MP rear camera unit, which is a significant upgrade from the 4MP UltraPixel camera on the HTC One M8. Additionally, the front-facing camera is expected to be a 13MP unit, catering to the growing trend of high-quality selfies and video calls.
The change in camera specifications indicates HTC’s shift towards competing with other flagship devices that offer high-resolution cameras. This move could potentially attract photography enthusiasts who have previously overlooked HTC devices due to their lower camera resolutions.
Expected Features and Launch Event
HTC has an event scheduled for early March in Barcelona, where the company is expected to launch the flagship device. This event is highly anticipated, as it will provide a platform for HTC to showcase the new features and improvements of the HTC One M9.
In addition to the camera upgrades, the HTC One M9 is rumored to come with a host of other enhancements. These may include a more powerful processor, possibly the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, which would offer better performance and efficiency. The device is also expected to feature a larger battery, improved audio quality with BoomSound speakers, and a refined design with premium materials.
The HTC One M9 is likely to run on the latest version of Android, with HTC’s Sense UI layered on top. This combination would provide users with a smooth and intuitive user experience, along with access to the latest features and updates from Android.
Moreover, the case listing on Amazon hints at a slightly different design for the HTC One M9. The case appears to have a more streamlined and sleek look, which could suggest that HTC has made some design tweaks to enhance the overall aesthetics and ergonomics of the device.
We’ll update you as soon as we hear anything more about the alleged device. The anticipation surrounding the HTC One M9 is building, and it will be interesting to see how it stacks up against other flagship devices from competitors like Samsung, Apple, and LG.
