Let them stare. That’s what HTC just told us through a teaser recently posted on Twitter. The new HTC One, possibly the HTC One M9, will finally be revealed on March 1, 2015, Sunday. We’re expecting an announcement at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. This is good news for those HTC fans who’ve been waiting for the new flagship phone. The past weeks, we’ve been hearing rumors and leaks only but at least we now know that there is a new HTC One being prepped.
So far, we know that HTC is dropping the parentheses. Instead of HTC One (M9), the new smartphone will simply be known as the HTC One M9. Earlier this month, some photos of the One M9 were leaked including some Otterbox-made cases. Even before HTC teased the next flagship phone, it was already compared to the HTC One (M8).
We never doubted there’s one in the works because the leaked photos looked legit enough. However, it seems that the bigger screen rumor isn’t going to be a reality because the next-gen HTC One will only have 5-inch screen just like its predecessor but when it comes to the camera, the HTC One M9 will have a 20 megapixel camera at the back with the 4MP Ultrapixel camera now as the front-facing cam.
We also heard that there will be an HTC One M9 Plus but let’s not dwell on that yet until the One M9 is out. Interestingly, we heard of another rumor that the leaks we’ve been seeing of the HTC One M9, codenamed HTC Hima, are possible decoys only but I guess we’ll finally know for sure on the 1st day of March. Let’s wait and see.
