First HTC One M9 cases revealed & rumour roundup

The HTC One M9 is one of the most hotly anticipated Android phones, after the great design of the HT One M8 last year. The new phone isn’t yet announced, but is expected to be revealed on March 1st at an HTC event. We’re not waiting for that though, and we’re excited to reveal that our first HTC One M9 cases are already on the way. Join us as we take a look at the ArmourDillo case for the One M9!

The Encase Armourdillo is a tough, durable case that provides good protection at a low price. The dual-layer design uses a TPU shell and a polycarbonate exoskeleton, with a textured grid on the back provided extra rigidity and grip. The case also includes a flip-out stand, perfect for watching videos or keeping an eye on incoming notifications.

What we know about the One M9 so far

The One M9 is expected to come with a dramatically upgraded set of optics, one of the few weak points of last year’s One M8. The M9 has been reported to include a dual set of 20-megapixel rear cameras, where the One M8 only had dual four-megapixel shooters. The front-facing camera is also set to see an upgrade, to a four-megapixel Ultrapixel sensor.

Otherwise, the One M9 retains a similar form factor to its predecessor. That includes a five inch 1080p screen, the same as the One M8. That’s actually a surprise, given that other manufacturers are continuing to seek out larger screen sizes and higher resolutions.

Inside, the One M9 is set to include the Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor, despite some reports that the chipset is prone to overheating. Other specs include 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The OS is expected to be Android 5.0 with Sense 7.
