After months of rumors and speculation, HTC today made the One M9+ official at an event in Beijing. As expected, it’s a slightly bigger — and in some cases slightly better — version of the flagship One M9, with a super-sharp Quad HD display, and a fingerprint scanner.

Samsung’s not had too much luck with smartwatches, but a newly-published patent application shows that it’s not ready to throw in the towel just yet.
