Well, that didn’t take too long. HTC’s flagship for 2015 already has a variant coming up, and it’s superior in a couple of features. As such, it’s aptly called the HTC One M9+.
So instead of 1080p display of the M9, the HTC One M9+ boasts a larger display at 5.2 inches diagonally and with better resolution at 1440p. And instead of employing a Snapdragon chip, the M9+ takes advantage of the Helio X10 processor by MediaTek. Using a different system-on-a-chip also changes the graphics component: there’s now a PowerVR G6200 instead of Adreno 430.

Another notable improvement is the main camera. In fact, there are two cameras at the back. The home button also acts like a fingerprint sensor for quick and secure unlocking of the phone and for confirmation in payment systems.
Iconic features of the original M9 are present: BoomSound, all-metal design and the Sense UI.
The HTC One M9+ will be available in three colors: amber gold, gunmetal gray, and silver gold. It’s first headed to China, and the company hasn’t revealed any information regarding pricing and global market expansion.
