Qualcomm teaser confirms Snapdragon 810 in the One (M9)

Qualcomm's latest and greatest mobile SoC, the Snapdragon 810 hasn’t been getting a lot of love lately. Whether it was the whole overheating fiasco or Samsung's recent rapid development in terms of manufacturing technology and in-house Exynos capabilities if is a fact that Qualcomm is lagging slightly behind. So far we have only seen LG's latest flagship - the LG G Flex 2 powered by the beastly processor, but things might be looking up as Qualcomm has released a rather interesting teaser on Twitter.

The post reads: "It’s almost time for a new #Snapdragon 810 powered smartphone. #MWC15" and is accompanied by a rather inconspicuous vine video. In the short clip we see a rough outline of a phone which resembles recent renders of the HTC One (M9). The clip also features a few clock style numbers which also point in the direction of HTC's upcoming flagship. The video begins with a clock showing 8:10, a direct reference to the Snapdragon chip. After that it switches to 10:08, which ticks forward to 10:09. This definitely reminds of a transition from the One (M8) to the new One (M9).

Nothing is officially confirmed yet, but this does seem to prove that the new HTC smartphone will join the ranks of the select few high-end devices, powered by the Snapdragon 810. As far as we currently know the much-anticipated One (M9) will pack 3GB RAM, 32GB on-board storage and up to 128GB microSD expansion support. Leaks also hint at a 5.0-inch Full HD display, a 20MP main camera with dual-LED flash and a 4MP UltraPixel front-facing one with a 2900mAh battery, all packed inside the 9.61mm thick body.

We only have to wait until March 1 for HTC to announce the One (M9) and confirm whether the info we've gathered so far is authentic or not, so hold tight.
