Major leaker known as Upleaks has released juicy information about the 2015 gadget lineup being worked on by HTC. For the uninitiated, Upleaks has been hitting the mark when it comes to future releases and all the other goodies in the tech world. Although unconfirmed, the leaks it recently shared surely have a bit of weight.
The new detais reveal two of HTC's forthcoming handsets and a tablet rumored to be in the works. Should the content of the leaks materialize, the first smartphone to expect will be One M8's successor, the HTC One M9. According to Upleaks, the device is codenamed Hima. Android Headlines reports that the future device will come with a 5-inch screen that delivers a 1080 pixel resolution. Hima will employ a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor to have it full-powered and quick. Four of the cores are purportedly clocked at 2 GHz. The other four will stand at 1.5 GHz. In addition, the HTC Hima is expected to bring in 3 GB of RAM.
Camera-wise, Hima will be an HTC feat by sporting a 20.7-megapixel rear-facing shooter. HTC will also go big with selfies by allegedly implanting either a 4-megapixel Ultrapixel selfie snapper or a 13-megapixel front-facing camera. Lastly, an SRS Sound enhancer feature is rumored to be integrated in the device for better audio quality.
Reports say that the device will be available in the U.S. and will also be offered by the major carriers. Phone Review added that a Windows edition of the smartphone is also on the cards for AT&T and Verizon to put forward.
In the most recent leaks exposed by Upleaks, Hima is likely getting an Ultra variant. This will be the Hima's bigger brother and according to the grapevine, Verizon will be the exclusive source for it in the U.S. while Asian markets like China will be able to buy it in the flesh. Hima Ace, on the other hand, will be Hima's economical edition. Another one from the prospective array is the HTC Butterfly 3. Just like its kinfolk, this handset will be limited to the Asian market and will be available in Japanese carrier KDDI, VR Zone reports. The site also added that HTC has no plans in bringing this particular line-up to a larger audience at this time.
Another detail from the leaks suggests that HTC is on the move for a tablet refresh and it will be called the T1H. It is expected to bear a resemblance to the Google Nexus 9 and the difference will dwell on the modified Android Lollipop look blended with HTC Sense UI. VR Zone adds that the T1H will receive a Wi-Fi only and 4G LTE editions. Upleaks lastly tips-off the dawn of the RE Camera 2, which will be in both Wi-Fi and 4G LTE set to be released worldwide. A CDMA LTE is reportedly in the pipeline and it will centrally cater to Verizon customers.
