According to new reports, HTC might have a Windows Phone variant of the One M9 scheduled for launch sometime later this year. It mentions that HTC will not launch the Android and Windows Phone models of the One M9 together.
We can expect the Windows Phone One M9 to break cover by mid-2015, which should give the standard One M9 plenty of time to settle down in the market.
The device should share most of the hardware features as the Android version, so we should only see a change in software like on the One M8 last year.
The bad news were getting out of this report is that HTC might limit the launch of the handset to the US market, which was the case with last years model as well.
Windows Phone is seeing decent traction in the budget and midrange segment. So the arrival of a high end device like the One M9 will certainly spice up the line-up.
But its too early to speculate, as the smartphone isnt expected to launch until later in the year. Considering it wont launch anytime soon, its safe to assume that HTC will launch the device with Windows 10 on board which is expected to bring a multitude of features to the platform.
HTC is yet to comment on these rumors, which is unlikely to change anytime soon given that all the focus is now set on the Android version of the One M9. The Taiwanese manufacturer is also expected to launch a large sized smartphone or "phablet" known as the One M9 Plus during its event next month.
