Imagine the HTC One M9, but with a larger 5.2-inch screen, a higher 1440p resolution, and an integrated fingerprint reader. It sounds a little like HTC’s 2016 flagship, but it’s actually a phone that was released earlier this year: the One M9 Plus. Despite its improvements over the One M9, the Plus hasn’t received much media attention – because it was only announced for the Chinese market. Now though, Mobile Fun are bringing the One M9 Plus to the UK!
The One M9 Plus is a powerful smartphone indeed, and feels more like a true flagship phone than the iterative One M9 did. The phone is dominated by a large yet ergonomic 5.2-inch Super LCD 3 display, with great viewing angles and a dense 2560 x 1440 resolution. Below the display, we have an integrated fingerprint reader, capable of rapidly unlocking your phone, and the signature BoomSound speakers that HTC fans love.
Inside, the phone is also mighty. It’s powered by a MediaTek X10 octa-core processor, running at 2.2GHz for great performance. This is backed with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, like the original One M9. Micro SD cards are also supported, allowing you to add up to 200GB of storage space quickly and cheaply. Finally, a 2840mAh battery keeps things moving.
All of this fits into an all-metal chassis that weighs just 168 grams and measures just 9.6 millimetres thick.
The camera system has also been upgraded for the One M9 Plus compared to its predecessor. The Duo camera makes a triumphant return after its absence for the One M9, with a 20-megapixel sensor, sapphire lens cover, auto-focus and 4K video recording. The front camera is also capable, with an Ultrapixel sensor and a wide f/2.0 aperture.
The One M9 Plus is a big upgrade over both the HTC One M8 and the regular One M9 – it’s bigger and better where it counts, while maintaining the top notch metal design that has made the One series so respected.
It’s available for pre-order now at Mobile Fun for £600 – only £21 over the price of the regular One M9. To place your order or see more information – including the latest pricing and availability data – please visit the page below.
