Mid-range version of the HTC One (M8) on the way
HTC might be just about to unveil the HTC One (M9) and possibly the One (M9) Plus in a couple of weeks, but they are also readying a variant of last year’s flagship. The HTC One M8i appears to be just like the One (M8) in terms of appearance and weight, but there will be some differences under the hood.
It sports the same 5-inch 1080p display, but the processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615, which includes 2 sets of Cortex-A53 quad cores (1.7 GHz and 1.0 GHz). It will also come with 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, microSD slot for expanded storage, Duo Camera at the back (13 MP and 2 MP), 5 MP front-facing camera, less than 3,000 mAh battery, BoomSound, and Android 5.0 with Sense 7.0.
The M8i will be available in Asia (including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia at least), China (OpenChannel, China Mobile, China Unicom), and Europe.
You will have your choice of either gray, gold, or silver for colors. No word on exactly when it will be available or the price, but it’s likely to be shown at Mobile World Congress next month.
