HTC has listed the 5.5 inch One E9+ smartphone on its website in China. The One E9+ features an octa-core processor and runs Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box. HTC has not listed the price and availability on the website.
According to the official listing, the HTC One E9+ supports dual-sim functionality and has a 5.5-inch full-HD display with 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution. The smartphone has a 64-bit octa-core 2.0 GHz MediaTek processor coupled with 2GB of RAM and runs the Android 5.0 OS, with HTC Sense UI 7.0 on top. There is some confusion regarding the camera specifications, as the official website states that the E9+ has a 20 MP camera while the specifications read a 13 MP (f/2.2) rear autofocus camera with LED flash. It also has an UltraPixel (f/2.0) front camera with a BSI sensor.
The HTC One E9+ smartphone has 16GB of internal storage, expandable up to 128 GB using a microSD card. Further, the smartphone also features 4G LTE connectivity, Wi-Fi, GPS/ A-GPS, Bluetooth 4.1 and NFC connectivity. It has stereo front-facing BoomSound speakers for music enthusiasts. The One E9+ features a 2800mAh battery.
HTC was expected to unveil the One E9 earlier this month, but so far there is no information about the launch date of the device in India. The HTC One E9 will be the successor to the HTC One E8 which is a plastic version of the company’s HTC One M8.
Last week, HTC started sending out invites for an event on April 8 with the tagline 'More than One'. The invite shows the back of a smartphone with brushed metal dual-tone build and a duo-camera. The company is expected to announce the One M9 Plus, One E9 and now the One E9+ phablet at the event in China. Read: HTC One M9 smartphone up for pre-order in the US
