While we are already pepped up about HTC’s March 1 event, the company has now notched up our anticipation by hinting something that was well until now subject of mere rumour. It’s confirmed that HTC will unveil its next flagship on March 1 at a pre-MWC 2015 event. However, the company has now dropped in a hint that the company may be planning to unveil another handset at the same vent, most likely the bigger variant of the One M9.
HTC USA recently took to Twitter to tease the alleged handset rumoured to be called the One (M9) Plus. The tagline of the Tweet states the obvious, that “Something Huge is coming from HTC”. Is it the One M9 Plus? We are not sure yet, but it chances are it could be.
Something HUGE is coming from HTC. Imagine [number][big thing] in space. And then [math term] that by [number]. #Madlib
