HTC One E9 (A53), according to the popular @upleaks
tipster, will pack a 1080p display and a 13MP rear
snapper. There is no info on the display size, but it will be either a 5″ unit as the HTC One M9 or a 5.5″ as the rumored One M9+ and One E9+ phablets.

HTC One E9+ (A55) is the device we kept meeting over the past few weeks. It has a 5.5″ Quad HD display, runs on the MT6795 chip with an octa-core Cortex-A53 processor with 3GB of RAM, and has a 20MP rear camera – probably the same as on the HTC One M9.

HTC One E9+ is very similar with the rumored HTC One M9+ though it is made out of plastic. According to @ upleaks One E9 and One E9+ will feature similar designs with plastic panels.

The One E9 phones were rumored to go official this
month, but March is almost over, so they’ll probably
premiere in April or later.

Yet if you own an original HTC One (M7), we have some bad news. This handset will apparently not be receiving any more major Android updates from this point forward. Not even Android 5.1.

 

This information comes from Mo Versi, HTC’s VP of
Product Management, so it’s as official as can be. The
HTC One did get updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop, so the new UI is in there already. But the many bug fixes and subtle improvements brought about by Android 5.1 won’t ever officially be available for this smartphone, unfortunately.

All of the above applies to the widely available version of the One which comes with HTC’s own Sense UI on top. But the Google Play Edition of the device will in fact receive the newest Lollipop build, with a rollout supposed to commence in early April.
