The rumored HTC One M9 will reportedly intensify the competition in the market with its high grade features.

The HTC One M9 is rumored to stir the smartphone market in March 2015 if the Taiwanese-based manufacturer will stick to its regular schedule in introducing new devices. The device will most probably retain its predecessor's overall design and form factor, which has been one of the assets of HTC smartphones.

Taking the helm in making the new Nexus 9 and working hand-in-hand with Google, the company catapulted its status from a normal player in the market to an important company. Moreover, HTC Nexus 9 has been getting great reviews from critics in the tech industry. This is one of the reasons why a lot of people are curious as to what the company will pack in the upcoming device.

Rumors state that the handheld will include a 5.2-inch screen display with QHD screen resolution and 564 ppi, up from the HTC One M8's Full HD screen. Quad HD screen resolution is a common trend for smartphones, thus the HTC One M9 will be at par with its rivals. The smartphone is also reported to pack Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805 processor paired with 3 GB of RAM. However, there is also a possibility that the device will be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 810, which will be released early next year and is reported to be bound to Android smartphones. Other rumored features of the device are better camera with higher megapixels, water-resistant body, and longer battery life.

Critics and reviewers give great feedback to HTC smartphones in terms of features naming it as one of the best smartphones in the market. However, this fame among critics does not follow with the sales of the handsets.

The current HTC One M8 flagship smartphone was launched in March 25 this year. HTC has a habit of releasing its handsets a few weeks after the Mobile World Congress. Next year, the MWC 2015 event will be held from March 2 to 5. Thus, it is speculated that the forthcoming HTC One M9 will appear in late March.
