NEW DELHI: HTC launched the One M9+ in India, priced at Rs. 52,500. The Smartphone will be available from May 3 in the country.
The company has also announced the HTC One E9+ for the Indian market, but has not provided pricing or availability details as yet.
The larger variant of the flagship HTC One M9, the HTC One M9+ features a 5.2-inch Quad-HD (1440×2560 pixels) display and runs Android 5.0.2 Lollipop with HTC Sense 7 UI on top. The big home button on the One M9+ is a fingerprint sensor that will also support biometric authentication for the AliPay payment system in China.
The HTC One M9+ is powered by 2.2GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6795T processor coupled with 3GB of RAM. The inbuilt storage on the device is 32GB, which is further expandable by a microSD card (up to 128GB).
The One M9+ features an UltraPixel front camera and HTC’s duo rear camera setup just like the One (M8). The primary camera in the setup is a 20-megapixel shooter (f/2.2) along with a depth-sensing camera. Notably, HTC dropped the Duo camera in One M9, explaining that the overall handset design couldn’t accommodate the 20-megapixel sensor along with a depth-sensing lens. Evidently the company managed with the bigger variant.
Connectivity options on the device include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Infrared, DLNA, FM radio, and NFC. The One M9+ is backed by a similar 2840mAh non-removable battery as seen on One M9. HTC will launch the smartphone in three colour options Gunmetal grey, Amber Gold, and Silver Gold.
