According to a new report from China, HTC is going to unveil its next-gen Android flagship handset next year at the Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona, Spain.

The HTC One (M9) might also have an M9 Prime version, though it’s not clear what the commercial name of HTC next flagship handset will be.

The HTC One (M9) is said to pack a 5.5-inch display with 2560 x 1440 resolution, Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM, 16-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and 3,500 mAh battery.

Furthermore, HTC is said to include Bose sound in its upcoming flagship, now that Apple owns Beats.

No specific details about the M9 Prime have been given at this time. Earlier this year, reports claimed that an HTC One M8 Prime might be in the works, supposed to replace HTC’s One Max handset, but the Taiwanese company did not release such a phablet model this year.
