Officially confirmed: the "new HTC One" will be announced on March 1

While HTC already informed us that it would host a press event on March 1 at MWC 2015, it didn't specifically say what it's going to announce then. Of course, we all know that the company should present the One M9 on that day. HTC UK is now confirming that we will indeed see a "new One" on March 1, though it's not yet ready to also confirm its name.

According to a tweet sent today by HTC UK, people will "stare" at the new One. Not long ago, we showed you some renders based on what it's believed to be the One M9, and, if that's what the real handset looks like, then people will indeed have reasons to stare (in admiration).

The HTC One M9 should sport a 5-inch 1080p display, and yet it's supposed to be smaller than the One (M8) - which also features a 5-inch screen - thanks to the fact that the new handset has thinner bezels. Other novelties that the One M9 should bring are a 20 MP rear camera, an octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor, and Android Lollipop with Sense 7 UI. HTC might also announce a One M9 Plus, which is expected to offer a 5.2-inch Quad HD (1440 x 2560 pixels) display, as well as a fingerprint sensor.

We assume that at least the regular HTC One M9 will be available to buy shortly after March 1. Are you waiting for it?
