HTC One (M9) Release Date
Unlike many other giant smart phone manufacturers, HTC has usually held their own launching event to unveil the newest flagship generations. HTC chooses neither MWC nor IFA for the smart phone announcing event, very much unlike Samsung. However, the timeline is usually around the Mobile World Congress event, on February or March to keep in focus, anyways. The popular guess is on March 2015 with Xperia Z4, because the HTC One (M8) was launched on March 25, 2014.
Display
The HTC One (M9)’s display will be moderate in size; it’s a 5.2 inch QHD display so far we have known. It is going to be a QHD display having 2560×1440 pixels resolution, resulting in a pixel density of 564 ppi. The display is slightly smaller than Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and LG G3. Larger displays than 5 inch are usually very hard to grip and operate with one hand; but HTC’s design and 5.2 inches length would make it easier to grip.
Hardware Configuration
HTC One (M9) is going to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 octa-core processor and 3 GB RAM alongside. Snapdragon 801 is still unannounced but if the processor is available by the time HTC One (M9) assembly line is still assembling the device then this device might feature Snapdragon 801 but chances are at the least phase.
There could be another Snapdragon processor making the HTC One M9 shine, which is the Snapdragon 810. All these processors are 64-bit enabled and the most of this architecture could be utilized using the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop.
