In case you were thinking that HTC’s range of handsets made too much sense, the Taiwanese handset manufacturer has just announced a new model in its One line-up. The new handset is called the One M9s, and is, for the moment, aimed purely at Taiwan. The main takeaway from the One M9s is that uses a MediaTek processor along with a Sapphire protected rear camera lens.
The HTC One M9s appears to be another mish-mash of components used in other models, using the same metal unibody as the original M9, but sporting a 13MP rear camera with OIS( optical image stabilisation) formerly seen in the M9+ Supreme Camera edition. Instead of using the Snapdragon 810 chip, the M9s switches over to the same MediaTek Helio X10 processor seen in other One variants, most recently the HTC One A9 (reviewed here). We have the rest of the specifications below:
- 5-Inch Full HD display
- MediaTek Helio X10 Octa-core processor @ 2.2GHz
- 2GB RAM
- 16GB Internal storage
- MicroSD card support (up to 2TB)
- 13MP Rear camera with BSI sensor, OIS, f/2.0 aperture and Sapphire glass lens
- 4MP UltraPixel front camera
- HTC BoomSound
- WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (2.4GHz & 5GHz)
- NFC/ Bluetooth 4.1/ GPS/GLONASS/ Beidou
- Battery: 2,840mAh (non-removable)
- Dimensions: 144.6 x 69.7 x 9.61mm
- Weight: 158 grams
The HTC One M9s is available to pre-order in Taiwan for NT$12,900 (around $390), with shipping scheduled to start from November 21. As yet, it’s unknown whether the HTC One M9s will launch in other regions.
