Check out the preliminary details of the new handset:

-- Dual-tone hairline and mirror finish

-- Sense 7 user interface
-- 
Custom themes

-- Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chip

-- 20-megapixel rear camera, UltraPixel front camera

The HTC One M9 will be available in mid-March in several markets, including the U.S. and Asia-Pacific region.

HTC also announced at the press event the HTC Grip fitness tracker developed in conjunction with the sportswear company Under Armour Inc., as well as the HTC Re Vive virtual-reality headset developed in conjunction with the gaming firm Valve.
