Although initial plans were only to launch it in China, HTC will launch the One M9+ in Europe too. First countries to get the phone will be Germany, Italy, Russia and some other Western/Eastern EU countries. The expected launch timeframe is in the third quarter.

The HTC One M9+ was the company's first smartphone with Quad HD display, which also featured a dedicated fingerprint scanner. It was also launched in the United States a few days ago through Amazon, alongside One E9+, but it is only compatible with T-Mobile and AT&T networks.
