It also claimed that the smartphone would be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, houses a 16MP camera with Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS), and hinted BOSE duel speakers.
There is also rumour doing the rounds that the Taiwanese smartphone makers would launch two variants of the HTC One (M9) – one to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor and the other by 64-bit MediaTek processor that is expected to clock at 2.2 GHz.
However, nothing is confirmed as of now, as HTC is yet to open up on its upcoming flagship smartphone dubbed as the HTC One (M9).
