14 DAY TRIAL // HTC has already launched quite a few One series handsets in the last couple of weeks. After releasing its HTC One M9 flagship smartphone, the Taiwanese company introduced several variants of the device.
The availability of these variants vary by region, so depending on location you might or might not be available to the get the One M9+ or One E9 for example.
The same goes for the newly leaked HTC One ME9, which appeared for the first time earlier this month. The One ME9 has been spotted once again, but this time in India.
According to @upleaks, the device will be released in India and other Asian countries like Hong Kong and Taiwan, but it will definitely not be available in EMEA and North American markets.
HTC One ME9 is supposed to be a cheaper version of the One M9, which is why it will feature a plastic unibody instead of the premium aluminum finish.
