#HTCOneM9Plus

There are many things I look forward as each new year begins.  One of them will be the annual unveiling of HTC's flagship device and this year; Malaysia launched the HTC One M9+ .  The event took place recently at ROOTZ Club KL on 28 April, 2015.

Starting us off, Cheong Wah Tong (Country manager, HTC Malaysia) gave the opening speech.







































Faisal Siddiqui (President, HTC South Asia) then took to the stage and delivered the keynote of the launch event.

The phone was then officially launched by the HTC team with the unveiling of the HTC One M9+ and also the dual sim HTC Desire 826 being showcased on eyecatching HTC lit alphabets.

Wayne Tang (Product Marketing Manager, HTC South Asia) then took us through the key features of the HTC One M9+.  When asked what was his favourite feature of the phone, he said that it's the sheer beauty of the HTC One M9+ all metal unibody design with the dual tone silver and rose gold finish! I would have to agree!

Presenting the all new HTC One M9+, a beauty that is sure to cause phone envy!  If you have been wanting to get your hands on a premium high end Android phone, this is one beauty that you simply must possess!

1. Network bands in regions may be different, depending on the mobile operator and your location. 4G LTE only available in select countries. Upload and download speeds also depend on the mobile provider.
2. Available storage is less due to phone software. Approximately 21 GB storage available for user content. Available storage is subject to change based on phone software updates and apps usage.
3. 
   
   Battery times (talk time, standby time and more) are subject to network and phone usage.
   A Standby time specification ("specification") is an industry standard that is only intended to allow comparison of different mobile devices under the same circumstances. Power consumption in a standby state is strongly dependent on factors including but not limited to network, settings, location, movement, signal strength and mobile traffic. Comparisons of different mobile devices using such a specification can therefore only be done in a controlled laboratory environment. When using any mobile device in real life circumstances for which the mobile device is intended, the standby time could be considerably lower and will be strongly dependent on the factors mentioned above.

Note: Specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
