At 2880 x 2560 pixels, the image above points at a scrollable QHD wallpaper. Less than a week ago, a wallpaper from HTC One M9 with 2160 x 1920 pixels leaked out from the same source.

Rumored specs of HTC One M9 Plus include Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset, 3GB of RAM, 5.5” QHD display, 20.7MP camera, and Android 5.0 Lollipop. A leaked press image from last month points at fingerprint scanner as well.

HTC One (M9) images, specs leak in an online listing

HTC is ready to unveil the new HTC One smartphone on March 1 and the company can barely contain the excitement. Recently leaked specs state that the HTC One (M9) will feature a selfie camera in the front.

A German retailer Cyberport.de accidentally listed the HTC One (M9) along with images and specs, set to arrive on two color options - gunmetal grey with black accents and silver with gold accents. Now the images don't exactly align with previous leaks which showed new design for the speaker grilles so this might be a mere publicity stunt by the retailer.

Though the listing has been redacted now, the images and specs were already downloaded. Bearing a close resemblance to the HTC One (M8) design, the new One (M9) features 5-inch display and fresh batch of rumors based on leaked wallpapers point towards 1080p resolution. Powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset, it packs 3GB RAM, 32GB on-board storage and up to 128GB microSD expansion support.

Measuring 9.61 mm thick, One (M9) will run Android 5.0 Lollipop with HTC Sense 7. In the front is a 4MP UltraPixel camera and at the back is a 20MP camera with dual-LED flash. HTC has packed 2900mAh battery to power this smartphone

We only have to wait until next Sunday for HTC to announce the One (M9) and confirm whether the info we've gather so far is authentic or not.

HTC confirms March 1 unveiling of its upcoming flagship

HTC UK confirmed in a Tweet that "the new HTC One", likely to be called the HTC One M9, will be unveiled on March 1st. The company has also started advertising the announcement on television during today's round of European Champions League games.

Last month, HTC sent out invites for its MWC 2015 event scheduled for March 1 in Barcelona. However, it didn't say what exactly the event would focus on, even though it was fairly reasonable to expect that the Taiwanese company would unveil its next generation flagship.

Rumored specs of HTC One M9 include 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC, 5" 1080p display, 20.7MP camera, and Android 5.0.

HTC One (M9) leaked cases confirm lack of Duo camera

Case manufacturers have become a reliable source of intel on future smartphones, and Amazon is currently flooded with optional protection for the yet-to-be-announced HTC One (M9) flagship. Unlike the case with the Samsung Galaxy S6 where precise dimensions were stated, HTC's covers are less revealing.

HTC One (M9) cases

One thing that appears certain at this point it the lack of a dual camera, as the back of all cases sports a single large cutout for the lens and flash arrangement. That was a common theme of all previous leaks, so we can can safely assume that HTC will go with a conventional camera this time around.

While the back has been pretty much settled, a few manufacturers seem to have missed the memo on the new speakers design. Some of the models have carried over the One (M8) grille placement in the renders instead of the thin slits towards the edges, that are believed to feature in the next generation.

It's unlikely they've mass produced the wrong case, though. More realistically, companies have chosen the safe side and stuck with an official image of the predecessor, instead of breaching confidentiality agreements and revealing something ahead of launch.

Specs of the HTC One M8i surface, Snapdragon 615 inside

The HTC One M9 and its launch are headlining the mobile press, but it seems the company will have more up its sleeve for MWC 2015. @upleakshas outed almost the entire spec sheet of the HTC One M8i, a mid-range alternative to the One (M8).

As such, the One M8i reportedly will keep the physical characteristics of its flagship brother and has almost the same dimensions and weight as the One (M8). The 5" 1080p display, 2GB of DDR4 RAM, BoomSound speakers and microSD slot remain unchanged. What's different is the chipset, as the One M8i will carry a Snapdragon 615 (MSM8939) chip with two sets of four Cortex-A53 cores running at 1.7GHz and 1.0GHz, respectively.

At the back, there's a 13MP + 2MP camera configuration with dual LED flash, while at the front a 5MP snapper is in charge of selfies. Connectivity includes NFC and Bluetooth 4.1. The battery is allegedly less than 3,000mAh, but a specific information isn't available. The phone will run Android 5.0 with Sense 7.0 out of the box.

The phone will launch in Asia, China and Europe. Color options are the same as the One (M8) including gray, gold and silver. More information should be available at the company'sMWC 2015 event in Barcelona on March 1.

HTC's upcoming flagship to be called HTC One M9?

HTC's upcoming flagship, which we have been referring to as the HTC One (M9) until now, given that its predecessor was called the HTC One (M8), apparently carries the moniker "HTC One M9" (i.e., M9 without brackets).

The name is mentioned in HTC's website source code (see image above), followed by a tagline "One Life". Given that HTC hasn't yet officially confirmed the moniker, we'll have to wait a couple of weeks, as the company is expected to launch the device on March 1 during an event at MWC 2015 in Barcelona.

Meanwhile, you can take a look at the complete list of the phone's features revealed by popular leakster upleaks.

HTC One (M9) renders size it up against the Galaxy S6, iPhone 6

HTC One (M9) is yet to be officially presented to the world, so all we have to look at are hurried photos and leaked images promoting phone cases. Luckily, Martin Hajek is a wiz at making 3D models and he used all info available on the One (M9) to create a virtual phone and put it up against the Apple iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S6.

The Galaxy S6 is also waiting for its official introduction, of course, but a few days ago Hajek modelled that one too.

Anyway, here’s a look at the HTC One (M9) by itself, it’s shaping up to be a beaut. Next up, three flagships stand side by side – the iPhone 6 is the shortest with its sub-5″ screen, while the Galaxy S6 is in between. Both the One (M9) and Galaxy S6 are expected to have 5″ screens. After that is a look at their backs and all the metal that the phones are encased in.

Here are a few simulated lifestyle images showing the One (M9) and its all-metal rival, the iPhone 6.

The renders match the spy shots we’ve seen so far, including the lack of a Duo Camera on the back. The centrally-placed selfie camera (4MP UltraPixel allegedly) come from “official” (not really) promo imagesfor the One (M9).

Deal Alert : HTC One (M8) $150 off this weekend, Re camera 25% off

HTC says happy President's Day with price cuts to select products, including the outgoing HTC One (M8) flagship and the Re camera. You can grab the One (M8) straight from HTC's online store in the US at $500, $150 off its usual price.

The deal is valid only this weekend, President's Day commemorates George Washington's birthday and is celebrated on the third Monday of February (this year it falls on the 16th).

Anyway, you could get the One (M8) in any color you like and for any carrier (including Sprint's Harman/Kardon version), an unlocked phone or a developer phone. Note that the HTC One (M9) is less than a month away, we should see it at the MWC starting in March. So, $150 off sounds like a good deal but you may want to skip it.

We haven't seen leaks about a next-gen Re camera (which is no guarantee it won't be replaced). You can snag one for $150, 25% off its usual price. That's $50 less than the GoPro Hero 3 White, but $20 more than the base Hero.

The promo also includes select cases at half price - the Dot View Premium case ($25), the Flip case ($15) and the Double Dip case ($12.50).

As you can imagine, this promotion is US only.

HTC Zoe gains Lollipop support and new highlight engine

Yesterday HTC has decided to issue an update to its Zoe app. This has been available in the Google Play Store for non-HTC Android devices since last summer. The update, which is already up for grabs in Google’s app store, brings with it support for Android 5.0 Lollipop, as well as the Motorola Nexus 6 and the HTC Nexus 9.

So if you own one of those you can now use Zoe, HTC’s social network wannabe based around video highlights. Or if you have another device that runs Lollipop already. This isn’t the only new feature, however.

HTC has added an entirely new highlight engine, which enables new themes, effects, and transitions, as well as higher quality videos. The Discovery Feed has been revamped, and now delivers popular local content. Finally, you’re now able to download and save your HD Zoes to your smartphone or tablet. Of course the usual performance improvements and bug fixes are in too.

HTC One (M9) Hima leak reveals all key specs

The specifications of the soon-to-be-revealed HTC One M9 (Hima) have leaked here and there, but now we have the full list of the phone's features thanks to the detective work of upleaks.

The phone is built around a 5" IPS display and packs 1080p resolution. At the back, the 20.7MP camera is confirmed and it will sport dual LED flash. For now, there's no information whether it'll record 4K video, but we will be surprised if it doesn't.

At the front, it will be backed by a 4MP UltraPixel camera, probably the same as the One (M8)'s. Contrary to previous rumors, the latest leak doesn't suggest a dual 20.7MP camera configuration at the back.

The HTC One (M9) draws processing power from a 64-bit Snapdragon 810 (MSM8994) chipset with a 2.0GHz quad-core Cortex-57 and a quad-core Cortex-A53 running at 1.5GHz. There's 3GB of fast DDR4 RAM and graphics are handled by the Adreno 430 GPU. HTC will offer the One (M9) in 32GB and 64GB flavors and the phone will run Android 5.0.2 Lollipop with Sense 7.0 out of the box.

We saw an allegedly official photo of the One (M9) next to the One (M9) Plus and caught the nicely designed BoomSound speaker holes. LTE 6 support will give users up to 300Mbps download and 50Mbps upload speeds. On the side, there's a microSD card slot.

The battery of the HTC One (M9) is 2,840mAh, which is 240mAh larger than its predecessor. We're yet to see how much of a difference this will make in our battery test. As a reminder, the One (M8) scored an endurance rating of 77 hours.

Upleaks reports three variations of the One (M9) - UHL, which will launch in Asia, Europe, Africa, UAE, Russia, Turkey, China(Mainland), USA(include AT&T, T-Mobile US, and Developer model), Canada(include ROGERS, TELUS), Latin America; the WHL for Sprint and China Telecom; and the WL for Verizon.

Finally, we have information regarding the accessories and their model numbers:

HTC DotView 2 (with more colors than before) – HC
M231/232
Clear Case – HC C1153
Stand Case – HC K1150
Waterproof Case(has IP68 rating) – HC C1152
Waterproof Headset – RC E250
Headset 2015 – MAX 500
HTC BoomBass with WiFi support (requires Sense 7)
Screen Protector – SP R230A

HTC's March 1 press event called "Utopia in progress" will reveal the rest of the new features the company has been working on.

HTC's mid-range Desire 626 coming to the US

When HTC launched the Desire 626 in Taiwan earlier this week, there was no word on whether the device would be available in other countries. But now, it looks like the mid-range smartphone is heading to the US at least.

According to popular leakster @upleaks, the Desire 626 would be launched in the US as a prepaid smartphone by Sprint, which is the third-largest cellphone carrier in the country behind Verizon and AT&T.

For those who are not in the know, the device is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU and sports a 5" 720p display. It has 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory, which is expandable via microSD card. The device sports a 13MP rear camera and 5MP front snapper, and packs in a 2,000mAh non-removable battery.

Rumor: HTC Petra will be the company’s first wearable, won’t run Android Wear

HTC has been promising a smart wearable since late 2013 and it finally seems ready to unveil it at this year’s MWC. It will allegedly be called Petra and will not be an Android Wear device. Instead it will run a simple custom OS that supports Android 4.4+ and iOS 7+.

The HTC Petra sounds like a sporty smart band with IP57 and MIL-STD-810G certifications and an included footpad for more accurate step counting.

The wearable will communicate with smartphones over Bluetooth though it should have its own GPS receiver. The screen will be a flexible 1.8″ PMOLED with 160 x 32 resolution. The whole thing will weigh just 23g, but pack enough battery to last three days.

It will come in three sizes and will charge over USB with built-in Pogo pins. All this suggests the wristband will not be removable, which sounds about right for a smartband.

The HTC Petra will launch by the end of March in the USA, allegedly of course. HTC was supposed to bring three wearables to the MWC last year (an exec even confirmed the company is working on one) and we got none so we’re quite skeptical of such rumors.

Note that the image above is an Issey Miyake | Twelve watch, one of twelve favorite objects of Claude Zellweger, an Associate Vice President of Design at HTC, and not an image of the rumored Petra wearable.

T-Mobile HTC One (M8) is now getting Lollipop OTA

HTC seems to be keeping busy with updates to its current device lineup. Presumably the goal is to push Android 5.0 to as many capable devices as possible before this year's MWC event and the announcements it is going to bring. Now there is a mission we can definitely get behind.

Unsurprisingly HTC's One (M8) flagship device is a top priority and has been seeing a lot of Lollipop love lately. After the unlocked and Developer editions received the update and soon after that EU units and Sprint ones it is now time for T-Mobile's own ranks to get the much anticipated OTA.

Just as promised T-Mobile One (M8) units have started receiving update notices. The update is naturally staged so if you happen to own a T-Mobile unit be sure to check regularly as the package is on the way.

Besides the obvious aesthetic overhaul that Android 5.0 brings to the HTC there is also the matter of performance improvements. We have taken the liberty of retesting a few of our available smartphones which have received the Lollipop update and numbers are definitely looking good. The One (M8) showed formidable improvement with the new software in pretty much every aspect so Google definitely deserve praise for all their hard work.

HTC One (M9) Wi-Fi module and 20MP Toshiba camera tipped

According to HTC ROM developer LlabTooFeR, the HTC One (M9) sports the same wireless module as the Nexus 6. The module in question is the Broadcom BCM4356, which features 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 4.1. The update over the One (M8) isn't astronomical, as the current flagship also boasts Wi-Fi 802.11 ac connectivity, but not the latest Bluetooth standard.

Additionally, the developer believes that the main camera of the One (M9) will utilize a 20MP Toshiba T4KA7 sensor. It's 1/2.4-inch in s

ize and has a pixel size of 1.12µm. It was previously rumored that the phone will feature a dual 20MP setup, but recently leaked photos of the phone's back disproved this theory.

We'll have everything there's to know about the HTC One (M9) on March 1 following the company's Utopia in progress event. There, HTC is expected to announce two variants of the flagship - One (M9) and One (M9) Plus. Both variants will pack Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC, 3GB of RAM, and Android 5.0 Lollipop.

The 2,000mAh battery is non-removable and can handle up to 30 hours of 3G talk time and 760 hours of stand-by. Connectivity is handled by Bluetooth 4.0 and single-band Wi-Fi 802.11n with DLNA. The phone supports LTE bands 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 28.

HTC might be working on its very own 'Nexus 9' based android tablet ,upleaks depicts

After making the Nexus 9 for Google, HTC is allegedly working on its own branded tablet, which will be based on the Nexus 9.

According to upleaks, the tablet will have similar dimensions as the Nexus 9, meaning a 9-inch display, probably with the same 4:3 aspect ratio. However, the hardware specifications will be different.

The tablet is also not expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2015.

HTC hasn’t had the best track record when it comes to tablets. The first tablet, the HTC Flyer, came at a time when Android tablets were trying to get a foothold in the market, and didn’t quite fly with the customers. The second one, the HTC Jetstream, was such a colossal failure most people don’t even know it exists. The Nexus 9 is by far the most successful HTC tablet, which isn’t saying much.

Big, expensive Android tablets are still trying to be relevant in the market, and Samsung seems to be the only one who has had some luck with them. Hopefully, HTC will make a better effort with its upcoming tablet, as the Nexus 9 surely didn’t feel like a premium tablet, despite its price

Android 5.0 Lollipop for Sprint's HTC One (M8) rolls out today

Previously Sprint's version of the original HTC One from 2013 started receiving the update to Android 5.0 Lollipop. And today it's time for its successor to get the tasty treat too.

That's right, Sprint has made it official: the rollout for the Lollipop update for the HTC One (M8) starts today. As with all such over-the-air releases though, it may of course take a few (or more) days until it reaches all the devices out there. Rest assured that it is on its way, however.

It looks like the initial rollout time frame was set for next week, but for whatever reason Sprint decided to push things forward, which is definitely good news for owners of the One.

Your phone will notify you when it's ready to download and install the update. If it hasn't done so already, you can always manually check by going to Settings > System updates > HTC software update, and then tapping on Check now.

After applying the update, you'll be running build 4.20.651.10. Aside from moving the base to Android 5.0 Lollipop, this new software also removes the Lumen Toolbar.

HTC Q4 2014 financial results show slim profit

HTC has outed a consolidated financial report for Q4 2014 and the company saw a quarterly revenue of $1.524 billion (NT$47.9 billion), $224 million more than the same quarter last year. After taxes, the net profit for the quarter was $15.9 million, while the gross margin was 20.4% and operating margin merely 0.4%.

The company didn't share additional information on the volume of smartphones it shipped for the quarter. However, HTC notes that its diversification strategy for the quarter broaden the company's reach to consumers. With the launch of the RE camera and collaboration with fitness firm Under Armour to launch fitness and connected health devices, HTC hopes to manage expand its focus beyond the mobile market.

The company is looking at Q1 2015 with its head high up and expects revenue to be between $1.32 billion and $1.43 billion (NT$41.5 billion and NT$45 billion). HTC plans to launch more entry-level smartphones next quarter in hopes to capture a larger market share.

Still, we're very much looking forward to the launch of the HTC One (M9) at MWC in less than a month's time.
