Due to being what many would consider the perfect size coming in at 4.7-inches the HTC One is a popular smartphone, but for those wanting something a little bigger, apparently that is coming too. HTC is preparing to launch a larger version of their popular HTC One, and some rumors are suggesting a display that’s 5-inches or bigger to compete with Samsung’s GALAXY S 4.

According to Pocket-Lint and people familiar with the matter, The new HTC One will be nearly the exact same device in terms of look and feel, only be much bigger. So you’ll still enjoy that stunning camera, impressive Boomsound front facing speakers and more. All on a bigger full HD 1080p display.

The report states the specs will remain the same under the hood, and the only difference will be that screen size. Depending on when this arrives we’d like to see Qualcomm’s improved Snapdragon 800 instead, but that doesn’t seem very likely at this point.

Back to the rumor, their source couldn’t confirm the exact screen size, so take this all as a grain of salt for now. However, the leakster did state it will be at least 5-inches to compete with Samsung, and possibly bigger. He said above 5 but under 6-inches. A 5.5-inch HTC One+ could be pretty impressive and compete with the Note, or try to at least.

This follows rumors and even leaked photos of the HTC M4 that should be coming in as an HTC One Mini of some sorts. With recent reports of the One selling over 5 million units in under 2 months and demand still strong, a bigger model could be a good move to compete with the LG and Samsung’s of late. HTC also stated the One would be their only flagship this year, so an identical but bigger version doesn’t seem very plausible at the moment. Could this just be a replacement to the DROID DNA and Butterfly?

      • lol you are kidding right? the Note 2 still easily competes with the HTC One.

        1.6 GHz quad-core Exynos CPU, 2 GB RAM in the Note 2, with a kernel tweak I am running it at 1.8 GHz.

        1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 CPU 2GB of RAM in the HTC One.

      • No one every? What are you talking about? Now, the Snapdragon 600 actually is noticeably faster than that of the Note II’s processor. And even with the same clock speed, the One is faster. It is not all about the clock speed. Also, the 600 is much more efficient than the Exynos processor. And so on. Also, the low screen resolution and the terrible screen keep it from competing with the One. The One has a Delta E rating of 3.2, the best of any mobile device.

  3. How about a 5 inch screen and availability on Verizon? I’m waiting for a One or some family member of it besides the DNA!

    • they know what they are doing HTC is very smart they want to make phone for everyone wish and likes. i saw many people not buying htc one because they waiting for 5inch screen now they will buy it. HTC got ride of all the stupid employes that were all the problem that are stooping them and holding htc back from working coming back in the game now HTC is coming back you know whats up. they here to win and fight.

  7. Failure at the highest level…. NOW HTC ONE FANS… NOW ASK. Why is HTC #2 ? Why do people run to the cold arms of Samsung? Why? This is why…. HTC doesn’t give a **** about you, your loyalty, your early adoption, or your opinions HTC is the worst kind of company. Worse than Samsung because at least Samsung doesn’t bullshit around it. HTC is only in the business of and doesn’t care how it makes it. .

  8. A 5″ screen with a 8 or 13 megapixel camera with a low light image chip would really make them a true champ. Just a thought

  9. I have the htc one and would jump all over a larger one.If they get with the times and trash the 4 megapixel camera and go with 8 or above.I dont get all the hype about this 4megapixel ultrapixel camera.My 5 gen ipod takes a better picture.
