HTC’s last two flagship smartphones are called the HTC One (M7) and the HTC One (M8). It’s logical to assume that HTC will next year release the HTC One (M9). In fact, rumours have already suggested that it will offer both an M9 and a M9 Prime. Now comes word though that HTC will drop its current naming convention in favour of a new one starting with its 2015 flagship device(s).
According to @upleaks who has proven to be reliable when it comes to HTC news, HTC will drop the “simple codename like M*” for its upcoming devices but does not shed any light on what new branding HTC would use instead. It remains to be seen if HTC will retain the One brand and do away with the codename or if it will drop both.
It’s not like HTC does not have options. It could like Apple has done for years simply reuse the same name. Motorola adopted a similar strategy this year with the second generation Moto X and Moto G. It could also unveil a completely new brand for its flagship smartphones and offer it alongside the Desire one.
Whatever its name, the next HTC flagship smartphone is likely to retain its distinctive metal construction and front-facing BoomSound speakers.
