HTC’s QHD One M9+ and E9+ arrive in the US via Amazon
Third-party sellers on Amazon have brought the One M9+ and E9+ to the US, despite HTC making it clear that it wouldn’t launch the two devices outside of Asia, which could contribute to the company’s increasingly poor earnings.
HTC’s One M9+ and E9+ are the company’s first devices to feature a Quad HD (2560×1440) display, putting the One M9’s 1080p panel to shame. That’s not all that’s different in two models, though.
The HTC One M9+ touts a 5.2-inch QHD display, a 2.2GHz octo-core MediaTekX10 CPU, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable storage, a fingerprint scanner, a Duo 20.7-megapixel rear camera, and a 4-megapixel Ultrapixel camera on the front. The device is running Android Lollipop, and runs at a steep price of $799 in the US.
HTC’s E9+ is for those of you that like larger options, featuring a 5.5-inch QHD display. The device has all the same hardware as the One M9+, but lacks the fingerprint scanner, Duo camera, and has a plastic chassis over the M9+’s metal frame. On the positive side, all of that means the device is $300 cheaper, with a price tag of $499.
Do keep in mind that since these are devices straight out of Asia, neither of the devices will work with LTE in the US due to incompatibility with our frequency bands. In fact, the One M9+ doesn’t work on Sprint or Verizon networks whatsoever. It would be wise to double check frequency bands before throwing down a large chunk of money on either of these two devices, unless you’re picking it up for Wi-Fi only.
