HTC Launches One E9+ in China – Made Up of Plastic

HTC E9 + is a phone that has lived long on rumor mill. The phone is now finally released, but for many it may be a disappointment that in this model, HTC has replaced their usual building material, aluminum to plastic. Last we saw the company used plastic in a top model was in Desire Eye and E9 + also looks like a kind of cross between Desire Eye and One M9. Currently it is not known whether E9 + will be waterproof, so is the Desire Eye.

Sharper screen than One M9

This phone surpasses the flagship from HTC in one important point. The screen here is a half inch bigger than HTC One M9 and in addition it has significantly higher resolution with 2560 x 1440 pixels.
