The HTC One
M9 or ‘Hima’ is all set to be announced by the company at its Utopia in
Progress event scheduled for March 1 in Barcelona. However, you don’t need to
wait until then to find out everything about the device as a new post from
renowned leakster upleaks has revealed
the full spec-sheet of the One M9 before its official announcement.
Most of what
has been revealed in the latest post is not new and had been revealed by
upleaks a few weeks back already. However, there are still few new bits of
information that have been revealed, along with details on carrier variants and
the list of accessories that will be offered with the smartphone.
The One M9 is
reported to include a 5.0” 1920 x 1080 resolution Full HD LCD display, exactly
similar to the One M8. The chipset powering the smartphone will be Qualcomm’s
latest Snapdragon 810, clocked at 2.0GHz for the Cortex-A57 cores and 1.5GHz
for the Cortex-A53 cores. 3GB of RAM is expected to be included, an upgrade
over the 2GB RAM on the One M8 from last year. What will not be similar though
is the amount of internal storage offered. According to the upleaks post, the
One M9 will come with 32GB or 64GB internal storage options. Thankfully the new
report confirms that a microSD card slot will be included, so you will be able
to expand the memory by up to 128GB.
At the back,
the One M9 will include a 20.7MP resolution rear camera with a dual-LED flash
like on the One M8. At the front, the One M9 will include a 4MP UltraPixel
camera. Earlier upleaks report couldn’t confirm if HTC will go with the 4MP
UltraPixel or a 13MP sensor, but the latest report seems to suggest that HTC
made up its mind on using the UltraPixel sensor for the front camera on One M9.
The One M9
will include VoLTE, LTE Cat.6 and Carrier Aggregation support, but the Carrier
Aggregation feature is said to be dependent on the market and may not be
offered on all One M9 variants. It will come with the latest Bluetooth 4.1
version, like every other Snapdragon 810 device. The batter is expected to be
2,840mAh, which doesn’t sound too great and is lower than most recent flagship
smartphones. Last but not the least; HTC’s excellent BoomSound stereo speakers
will be onboard too.
Along with
the spec-sheet, upleaks also has details on the various variants of the One M9.
The Hima#UHL variant is likely to be sold in Asia, Europe, Africa, UAE, Russia,
Turkey, and Mainland China. The Hima#UL will be headed to the US with AT&T,
T-Mobile and a Developer Edition model. In Canada, the smartphone will be
offered by Rogers and Telus. Customers in Latin America will also be getting
this same model.
The Hima#WHL
model will be headed to the Sprint Network in US and also China Telecom.
Finally, the Hima#WL model will be the Verizon Wireless variant.
HTC is also
expected to offer a wide range of accessories with the One M9. Some of the
accessories revealed by upleaks are the HTC DotView 2 case, clear case, stand
case, waterproof case with IP68 rating, waterproof headset, HTC BoomBass
speaker with Wi-Fi support, and a screen protector.
