HTC sent out the invites for a launch event earlier this month to launch a new device in India. It was assumed that the device will be the HTC One M9,but it seems like that HTC decided to skip the device and launch the HTC One M9+ instead. The HTC One M9+, a beefed up variant of the HTC One M9, has been launch in India at a price of Rs. 52,500.
The flagship smartphone recently broke cover, and has touched base in India ahead of many other global markets. The device comes with a 5.2-inch QHD display and a design philosophy similar to the One M9. It is powered by a 64-bit 2.2GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6795T processor which belongs to the latest Helio line of SoCs from Mediatek. There's 3GB of RAM present on board for aiding your multitasking needs, and 32GB of onboard storage, which can be expanded using a microSD card.
