HTC M9 to Pack 5.5-Inch Quad HD Display, 3GB RAM and 3500 mAh Battery – Report

Taiwanese company HTC had some
mild success with its current flagship
smartphone the One (M8). Even if it
could be considered one of the best
Android smartphones ever launched by
HTC, the sales of the device weren't
huge.
However, HTC continues to exist and due to One (M8)
good enough sales, the company's profits have been
going up for the first time in a long time.
The more reason for HTC to start working on its next
flagship smartphone, which was initially supposed to
be called the One (M9). Still, according to sources
familiar with HTC's plans for the next year, the
Taiwanese company will be changing the naming for
its flagship lineup.
Unfortunately, it's either too early for HTC to have
already decided or the information hasn't leaked
online yet. The fact still remains that HTC is likely to
drop the “M” naming for its next flagship smartphone.
Moving on to specs, HTC's next top-tier handset will be
packed with much better features than the One (M8).
According to AndroidHeadlines , the upcoming
smartphone is expected to boast a stunning 5.5-inch
Quad HD (1440 x 2560 pixels) resolution display and
no less than 3GB of RAM.
The HTC One (M9) may or may not pack an octa-core
Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset inside. If not, then
HTC will opt for the same quad-core Qualcomm
Snapdragon 805 SoC (system-on-chip) that's been
included in other flagship smartphones launched by
other brands.
Rumor has it that HTC will drop the UltraPixel camera
and will come with a 16-megapixel rear-facing camera
with autofocus, LED flash and OIS (optical image
stabilization).
Another improvement over the current high-end HTC
One (M8) will be the high-capacity 3,500 mAh battery,
which is necessary for the Quad HD display that's
expected to drain quite a lot of energy.
The rumored HTC One (M9) won't be packed with
Beats Audio technology anymore due to the company
being recently acquired by Apple. Still, HTC is said to
be in talks with BOSE to introduce its technology into
the flagship smartphone.
If an agreement is reached, the One (M9) will come
with stereo speakers in the front featuring BOSE audio
technology.
The smartphone is said to feature 64GB of internal
memory, as well as microSD card slot for storage
expansion (up to 128GB).
Last but not least, HTC's next flagship smartphone will
ship with Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system out of
the box and is likely to be made from an aluminum
silicon-carbide composite.
In the same piece of news, HTC is rumored to plan
another high-end smartphone codenamed One M9
Prime, which is supposed to replace the One Max, but
details are scarce at the moment. Stay tuned for more
updates on the matter.

HTC One (M9) will be officially unveiled in
early March at MWC 2015
