Rumors about the upcoming HTC One M9 continue to circulate online. These speculations became even stronger now, with hints coming from the Taiwanese firm itself.
On Monday, February 16, HTC USA posted a riddle on Twitter. It said, "Imagine [number] dinosaurs that grew to the size of a [big thing]. Multiply that by [number] and you have what's coming from HTC. #Madlib."
One user named Luca Tognoni attempted to answer it. He tweeted back, "@HTCUSA Imagine nine dinosaurs that grew to the size of a monster. Multiply that by One and you have what's coming from HTC. HTC One M9!"
Could this riddle actually pertain to the rumored HTC One M9? HTC replied to Luca's hunch saying, "@Lukaz4e Such an interesting story, we wonder what that could mean?"
HTC again tweeted the riddle on Thursday, February 19. "Something HUGE is coming from HTC. Imagine [number][big thing] in space. And then [math term] that by [number]. #Madlib," it said.
GSM Arena thinks this teaser could actually pertain to the rumored HTC One M9. Huge, it says, might mean that the new device would be a "massive hit." However, the report noted that it could also be literal, pertaining to the larger HTC device rumored to be called HTC Ultra or HTC One M9 Plus.
Current rumors suggest that the larger HTC device would be a 5.5-inch one. It is expected to get the same classic HTC design, though it would get a new feature -- the fingerprint sensor. No further details about the larger HTC device have been revealed.
On the other hand, the HTC One M9 is said to boast of new, faster Wi-Fi performance and 20-megapixel camera. The new handset is also said to be powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset.
It is expected to get a 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot. It is also possible that it would have LTE Cat.9 network support, Bluetooth 4.1 version, and a better battery. It is also said to get the new Android 5.0 Lollipop update and its very own Sense 7.0 as user interface.
Meanwhile, HTC UK recently confirmed that the company would indeed be unveiling something this March. HTC UK on Tuesday, February 17, posted a photo on Twitter which said, "Let them stare. The new HTC One revealed 01.03.15."
Furthermore, the Taiwanese electronics giant itself also confirmed on Twitter that it is indeed going to this year's Mobile World Congress. The company even revealed that it is going to use the slogan "One Life" on the event.
HTC wrote: "Help us reveal some big news! This week's prompt: pick a shape and recreate it. Tag #OneLife & we might use it #MWC15."
