New leaks suggest that HTC is abandoning its plans to produce the HTC One (M9), the follow-up to the hugely successful HTC One (M8). Famous leakster UpLeaks shared details about the previously unheard of HTC Hima which looks to be a high end device featuring a Snapdragon 810 processor.
Update: HTC Hima looks like it will make an appearance just before MWC at an HTC event on March 1st. Check out this at the update section, and see our new HTC Hima rumor roundup video below too.
SPECS:
Upleaks simply posted a series of tech specs which both confirm and negate what we had heard up until now about the HTC HIMA. For one, the screen is now an alleged 5-inch Full HD display, as opposed to the 5.2-inches previously reported. However the tweet confirms earlier rumors about a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, now with information about the clockspeed, namely a 2.0GHz quad-core and a 1.5GHz quad-core. All of this supported by 3 GB of RAM, also a new info. The dimensions are also the first we hear too, stating that the HTC Hima will be 144.3 x 69.4 x 9.56 mm. The device would then purportedly be slightly bigger than the Galaxy S5 in height and width, albeit a little thicker.
UpLeaks had already previously reported abot the HTC Hima, which has the makings of an impressive phone: the stand outs first talked about were the Snapdragon 810 processor and the 20.7 megapixel rear camera. The battery is a little disappointing, at 2,840 mAh.
PRICE:
There are no solid details about the price of the HTC Hima. However, it would likely be in the same range as the HTC One (M8), HTC's previous flagship. That phone sold for 528 GBP and 650 USD. A budget-friendly version, the HTC Hima Ace, will be available in China, said UpLeaks.
RELEASE:
According to UpLeaks, the HTC Hima will be released in March 2015. This would coincide with the 2015 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona; providing an ideal platform to present the phone. However, HTC may hold a independent release, like those held for the HTC One (M7) and HTC One (M8). According to UpLeaks, the HTC Hima would likely be available from major carriers in the US soon after.
