HTC One M9 Plus Rumors, Specs, Release Date: New: 5.2-Inch QHD Display Allegedly Confirmed?
HTC is one of the most popular brands today thanks to its newly announced One M9. However, even before the MWC event in Barcelona where it announced its latest flagship, there were already rumors that a bigger and more powerful device is nearing its launch as well.
Dubbed as the One M9 Plus, the only thing that makes it different from the One M9 is its slightly bigger screen. But that is only on surface level. Deep down, the One M9 Plus is an entirely different beast, with a QHD or 2K (2560 x 1440) resolution instead of the flagship's measly Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution.
Now according to a report by Phone Arena, more alleged specs have been "confirmed" by more rumors. Some of these include a 5.2-inch display and a metal body that is unlike anything the Taiwan-based manufacturer has ever done before.

In the report, the One M9 Plus would measure 5.94 x 2.85 x 0.4 inches (150.9 x 72.5 x 10.15 mm), which is already similar in dimensions as the Sony Xperia Z3. Other notable specs include a 20.7MP primary camera, a 4MP UltraPixel shooter, either a Snapdragon 810 or MediaTek chipset, or both.
Rounding up the rumored specs are the 2,840mAh battery, 32GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, a secondary back camera, and Android 5.0 or 5.1 Lollipop out of the box.
Just yesterday, a couple of leaked images surfaced comparing the One M9 and the M9 Plus. The only noticeable differences are the square-shaped camera of the M9 Plus, and its central physical home button.
Based on previous leaks, the handset may be announced some time during this summer.
