The UltraPixel camera that was on the back of the HTC One M8, it has now gone. Instead, there's a dual 4MP UltraPixel camera on the front.

The M9 runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop as expected. It also has its own Sense 7.0 UI interface over the top.

HTC's other big announcement at MWC is the HTC Re Vive for PC. While this doesn't pertain to mobile gaming as such, it's still big news for one of its prominent hardware companies.

That's on account of HTC's entry into virtual reality headsets is powered by SteamVR. Yep, this is Valve's VR headset as well.
