Earlier this week HTC confirmed the existence of One M9+ smartphone, but the recent leak from @upleaks confirms that, HTC is also working on new One E9+ handset. The images leaked by @upleaks contains high resolution renders of the One E9+ smartphone in three distinct colours – Grey, Gold/White and Gold/Silver.
Based on previous branding efforts from HTC (One M8/One E8), we can safely assume that One E9 variant will be slightly less premium than One M9. This means One E9+ will have more or less similar configuration like One M9+ with few design changes like plastic case instead of metal.
The HTC One E9+ is rumored to have a 5.5 inch display with a Quad HD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, 20 megapixel camera, an octa core MediaTek MT6795 processor and 3GB of RAM, plus 32GB of storage and a microSD card slot. It will also come with Android 5.0 Lollipop and HTC Sense 7.0.
Based on this rumors, we can say HTC is planning on releasing 4 fairly similar high-end devices – One M9, One E9, One M9+ and One E9+ to the market. HTC are holding a press event in China on the 8th of April, the company is expected to unveil the HTC One M9+ and also the HTC One E9+ at this event.
