The latest rumors reveal that HTC is working on a successor to the HTC One X9, called HTC X10. The HTC One X9 mid-ranger was released back in December 2015 and there hasn’t been a successor yet. HTC is said to reveal the HTC X10 during the first month of next year.

The smartphone is set to arrive in January, which means that HTC could take advantage of the highly publicized event to announce a new phone, even if it's just a mid-ranger. The report shows that the upcoming HTC X10 could have a 5.5-inch display with 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution.

The device is expected to run a MediaTek Helio P10 SoC with an octa-core 2GHz CPU, specifically Cortex-A53 cores. It will also have Mali-T860 graphics processing unit clocked at 700MHz. HTC X10 might also incorporate 3GB of RAM and have a 13MP rear camera with OIS (optical image stabilization).

The price for the HTC X10 could start at $288

The smartphone might carry a price tag of about $288, quite affordable for a mid-range device. It doesn’t bring any major changes compared to its predecessor, which had a MediaTek Helio X10 processor inside, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory.

The phone drew power from a 3,000mAh battery and had a similar rear camera and a 5.5-inch full HD display. HTC One X9 didn’t come with a fingerprint sensor, so it remains to be seen if its successor will sport one. One selling point of the smartphone is the HTC BoomSound speakers on the front, which provide clear audio output.

In addition, the global edition of the HTC One X9 came with a full metal body. When it comes to next year’s flagship, HTC 11 is said to run an octa-core SD835 CPU, coupled with Adreno 540 graphics processing unit. It might also have a whopping 8GB of RAM capacity and 256GB of internal storage.
