HTC One Watch is long overdue as the Taiwanese manufacturer released its own smartwatch nearly two years ago.

Meanwhile, rumors sparked online claiming that HTC One M10 will be joining the smartwatch on its release date. There is a possibility that the smartwatch and smartphone will have unique and exclusive features that will set them apart from other devices in the market.

Previous rumors claim that HTC One M10 release will happen in the second quarter of 2016. HTC ROM developer LlabTooFeR tweeted that the handset will be unveiled two to three months after the One X9. It is purported that HTC will hold a spring launch to give the two handsets a reasonable gap.

Reports also claim that HTC has stepped up its game in developing the upcoming HTC One M10 after the mediocre reception to the One M9. The negative reviews received by HTC One M9 are due to the overheating issues, downgraded battery and uninspired design of the smartphone. Thus, the upcoming smartphone is rumored to pack an improved camera and battery.

HTC One M10 is also purported to pack revolutionary and never-before-seen features in a flagship smartphone such as least 5-inch screen display, but with TV-like 4K pixel resolution, microSD slot of up to 2TB, 4GB of RAM, and dual SIM support.
