HTC One E9+ makes an official debut: upends One M9 with 5.5” Quad HD screen and Mediatek’s most powerful chip

HTC has officially lifted the veil off its brand new One E9+, a high-end device that will - unfortunately - be available only for Asian markets.

With a 5.5-inch Quad HD display and the most powerful chip in MediaTek’s lineup, the One E9+ is an appealing phone that trumps even the flagship HTC One M9 when it comes to the screen resolution.

The key difference between the two lies in the materials used: the One E9+ sports a glossy plastic finish that appears similar to that of popular devices like the HTC Desire 816, while the One M9 features an all-aluminum unibody.

As for the rest of the specs of the HTC One E9+, take a look right below:

• Screen: 5.5-inch 1440 x 2560-pixel LCD
• SoC, RAM: MediaTek MT6795M, 3GB RAM
• Internal storage: 16GB, expandable via microSD card
• Cameras: 20MP main, 4MP front Ultra-pixel selfie cam
• Battery: 2800mAh 

Kepe in mind that there also seems to be an HTC One E9 model launching simultaneously with the E9+. The One E9 is said to differ only in the fact that it has a 1080 x 1920-pixel display, 2GB of RAM, and a 16-megapixel main camera.
