*** HTC One M9+ ***

[Spit]

Well its now official in China and HTC has a new flagship:

5.2" 2560x1440 QHD display
3Gb RAM, 32Gb storage
No 810 but a 2.2GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6795T chipset
Ultrapixel at the front and Duo 20.7MPixel at the rear.
Boom sound
Home button with fingerprint scanner

Bit gutting for those that just got an M9

There's nothing particularly compelling about it in my opinion. Slightly larger screen with a pointless resolution increase and a home button with a fingerprint scanner (which is pretty much zero in my list of priorities). You'll still be getting like 98% the same experience.

Is it actually coming to the UK though?

May be interested but pricing will make my decision for me.

China only with no other market availability announced.

Well the leaks were obviously correct.

It will be interesting to see how this compares to the M9...there is of course the additional features such as the Duo Camera and the Finger Print scanner but they will obviously come at a price...although the Media Tek Processor may precent that being much of an issue.

I've bought the M9 and love the size of the phone as it is...how much bigger is this? Well we'll find out soon I'm sure in a comparison but it looks like it will be China only...for now.

If they did decide to bring this to international markets then it would be interesting to see how they price it but we shall see.

Wait so they have a home-button looking fingerprint reader, whilst also having a software-based home button? Fantastic logic HTC, fantastic logic.

It also looks horrible and makes the speaker arrangement on the bottom of the phone look like a PC monitor from 5 years ago.
