The HTC One M9+ Prime Camera edition, which made its debut earlier this month in Germany, has reportedly set foot in India.

Mumbai-based mobile vendor Manish Khatri on Twitter has claimed to have received shipment of the One M9+ Prime Camera, which can be purchased for Rs. 23,900 at his store Mahesh Telecom.

This news comes as a surprise, as the Taiwanese company had hosted an event in New Delhi on May 26, wherein HTC launched seven smartphones including the flagship HTC 10 series, but there was no mention of the One M9+ Prime Camera.

For the uninitiated, the One M9+ Prime camera sports a 5.0-inch full-HD display and comes packed with a 2.2GHz MediaTek Helio X10 octa-core processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB inbuilt memory, and a 2,840mAh battery, which can keep the phone for close to 658 hours under standby time.

As the name suggests, HTC phone's highlight is its camera hardware. It boasts a feature-rich 13MP with dual-LED flash, OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) v2.1, BSI back-illuminated sensor, autofocus, F / 2.0 large aperture, 27.3 mm lens and 4K HD recording ability.

On the front, it houses an equally impressive 4µp (ultrapixel) camera with BSI sensor, f/2.0, 1/3-inch sensor size, 26.8mm lens, HDR and full HD-video recording.

Competition:

Considering its price and specifications, HTC One M9+ Prime Camera will be pitted against the popular Moto G4 Plus, Moto X Style, OnePlus 2, Lenovo Vibe Shot, Vibe X3, Yu Yutopia and LG Nexus 5X, among others.
