HTC One M9

Various sources are speculating that HTC's upcoming flagship smartphone, the One M10 could arrive possibly in early 2016.

The rumored handset is expected to come with dual-SIM support and other high-end features.

It was previously reported that HTC is targeting to unveil the One M10 sometime in December of this year. However, as pointed out by the HTC One M10 info page, the Taiwanese electronics manufacturer releases its devices on a yearly basis.

The first member of the One family, the One M7, came out in March of 2013. Exactly a year later, HTC debuted the handset's successor, the One M8.

Earlier in March of this year, the consumer electronics industry saw the arrival of the One M9. Given HTC's annual March releases for its flagship devices, it's highly unlikely that HTC will break its tradition with an early launch of the One M10.

Based on this pattern, the company's upcoming One smartphone will most probably arrive in March of next year.

As for its specs, the One M10 with dual SIM support will come in two variants: one with 64GB of internal storage and another with 128GB of memory space, according to Chinese news site Yibada.

The handset will reportedly sport a 5-inch full HD display with 4K resolution. It will pack a 20.7-megapixel rear camera as well as a 27-megapixel shooter at the front side.

For its processor, the One M10 will be equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810, which is the same chipset used for the One M9. Although this piece of hardware has been plagued by rumors regarding its overheating problems, Qualcomm has already clarified that these are not true.

Aside from these specs, the upcoming device will also have a heart rate sensor, fingerprint scanner, waterproof and dustproof features and two stereo speakers.

For its operating system, it will probably come with the latest version of the Android Lollipop since HTC's One devices are Android-based.

Given the device's feature, various sources are speculating that the One M10's retail price may fall somewhere between $650 to $800.
