HTC One M9+ (Not Plus) Launching in Late March or Early April

HTC fans, disappointed that their favorite company did not improve its flagship smartphone like other companies did, will be pleased to know that there might be another device the Taiwanese handset maker has in the pipeline.

The so-called HTC One M9+ (not Plus) is rumored to go on sale sometime later this month or in early April at the latest. The smartphone will be an improved version of the HTC One M9 and will be released globally, not just in some regions. Although this information is only a rumor now, @upleaks, a reliable source that brought us numerous tips in the past, claims such a smartphone exists and will be released in less than a month. Moving on to specs, the One M9+ won't be equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 processor, which seems to have overheating issues that haven't been solved yet. Instead, HTC opted for a MediaTek MT6795 64-bit octa-core processor.

The CPU will be complemented by 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. No word on microSD card slot, but since the smartphone will feature the same form factor and design as the standard One M9, we don't see why HTC wouldn't add one. Furthermore, the One M9+ will boast a 5.2-inch Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels) capacitive touchscreen display that should feature Corning Gorilla Glass 3 coating for extra protection.

Duo Camera and 2,840 mAh non-removable battery

On the back, the smartphone will feature a 20.7-megapixel photo snapper, along with a 2.1-megapixel camera (Duo Camera), while in the front there will be an impressive 13-megapixel camera for great selfies and video calls. BoomSound, Bluetooth and touch-based fingerprint sensor in the front will be included in the One M9+ as well. It's also worth mentioning that the handset will be powered by a 2,840 mAh non-removable battery. According to rumors, HTC One M9+ will ship with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop operating system and Sense 7.0 UI on top right out of the box.

So there you have it folks, if HTC One M9 is not enough for you, then perhaps the upcoming One M9+ will appeal to you more.
