The HTC One M9+ is a more impressive variant of the company's M9 flagship, the Taiwanese company launched it two months ago exclusively for the Asian market. HTC said that the device will not make it to the USA or Europe, but where there is a will there is a way as a Dutch based online retailer is now offering imported unlocked One M9+ handsets.

GSSMinfo only has the grey model available, so no gold or silver-gold options, but this is the best that HTC has to offer right now and it is available in Europe. The price is sort of off-putting though as it will cost the same as $850… ouch.

Without a doubt the One M9 Plus is a hell of a smartphone, featuring market leading specs and HTC’s gorgeous design. However, it leaves a lot of questions, such as why would HTC even launch this device in the first place? I mean, shouldn’t this handset have just been the normal One M9 announced at MWC last month? Why launch a flagship and then make a better version a month later? It is easy to imagine that there are some people who have pre-ordered the One M9 feeling pretty let down by HTC at the moment.

Sure, the M9 Plus is China bound and will not be released in Europe or North America, but still consumers in those regions will always know that there is a better M9 out there, and that their handset is second tier. It is even more mystifying when considering that the One E9 is also available and also bests the normal One M9 in some departments. It and the new One M9 Plus both have a Quad HD screen, and if I was awaiting my normal One M9 I would be asking.
“Where is my Quad HD screen?”
Perhaps HTC is finally saying the Asian market is more important, after-all the company has been struggling in Western markets.
