LONDON: The latest rumour of HTC’s next flagship phone is gelling around a 5.5-inch phablet called the Hima Ace Plus, claims Portuguese website 4GNews. This marks the third rumoured flagship device from HTC, after the HTC One M9 and the HTC Hima.
Listed as having a 5.5-inch 2,560×1, 440-pixel display, the Hima Ace Plus would reportedly feature a very thin bezel and a fingerprint scanner that works even when the screen is turned off.
The camera specs would be HTC’s most ambitious yet, with a 20-megapixel camera on the back and a 4-megapixel Ultra Pixel selfie shooter. Other specifications ousted in a recent leak call for a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, and a 3,000mAh battery.
Keeping pace with other HTC models of late, the Hima Ace Plus is alleged to offer front-facing Boom Sound stereo speakers. In terms of software, users should expect Android 5.0 Lollipop with HTC’s Sense 7 UI.
All things considered, this sounds like a bigger version of the HTC Hima, rumors about which began circulating in early December and a lot like specs for the previously leaked HTC One M9. While there are noticeable differences in the pair, it’s hard to imagine HTC wanting to release two phones with such similar hardware.
