HTC One ME officially announced as the world's first smartphone powered by MediaTek's Helio X10 processor

HTC officially announced a new high-end Android Lollipop smartphone: the One ME, previously believed to be called One ME9. Unveiled in China, the One ME is the world's first handset to be powered by MediaTek's Helio X10 processor - a 64-bit, 2.2 GHz octa-core chipset that was announced earlier this year.

As previously reported, the One ME borrows design elements from both the One E9+ and One M9+, having a polycarbonate body that's strengthened with a metal frame. The new handset also offers a fingerprint sensor, BoomSound speakers with Dolby Surround sound, LTE, dual SIM support, and a 5.2-inch Quad HD (1440 x 2560 pixels) display.

On the back, the One ME has a single 20 MP camera with 4K video recording and dual LED flash, while on the front we can see a 4 MP UltraPixel camera. Other features include 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal memory, microSD card support, and a 2840 mAh battery.

HTC will launch the One ME in three color versions: meteor grey, gold sepia, and rose gold. The brand new smartphone will first be available in China and other Asian markets, for a price that hasn't been announced. We don't know when (or if) the HTC One ME will be released in other regions, but we assume we're going to find out more about this pretty soon.
