HTC is preparing to officially take the wraps off of its next-generation flagship smartphone on March 1. Three new official HTC One M9 videos have leaked, showing off its design and new features.
We'll be covering Mobile World Congress and two smartphone manufacturers have decided to kick off the show by holding media events to launch their latest and greatest devices. Samsung will use its March 1 event to unveil its new flagship Galaxy S6 and its curved display and powerful sibling, Galaxy S6 Edge. HTC will also be holding court on March 1 and the company is widely expected to launch its HTC One M9 smartphone and One M9 Plus phablet.
HTC has unfortunately just experienced a huge leak in the form of what appears to be official videos of its new One M9 smartphone. The always-reliable @upleaks (who has since removed the videos and account) posted three HTC One M9 promotional videos that confirm all of the smartphone's new features, from its updated design, to tweaks like HTC BoomSound with Dolby Audio Surround Sound.
There's an entire video dedicated to a new theming feature that is part of the updated version of HTC Sense, HTC's skin it uses on top of Android to make it easier to use, while also adding exclusive software features. HTC One M9 users will be able to choose different color themes to apply to their device and see a preview of their home screens and app drawer before applying it. The new HTC Sense Home Widget displays apps based on your location, so if you're at work, apps used for your job will appear. When you're at home, the smartphone can sense that as well and display apps you use there.
HTC claims that the front facing UltraPixel camera will produce better selfies in low light and also confirms the One M9 will ship with a 20-megapixel rear camera.
Check out the videos below. We'll be covering HTC's March 1 event to bring you all the official news.
