Here’s one great reason to buy an HTC One M9 over any of its rivals: a free replacement if you get a cracked screen, switch carriers, or kill your handset with water within the first 12 months of purchasing it.

That’s what you get with HTC’s new Uh-Oh plan for the One M8 and One M9.

Samsung snubbed Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 810 chipset in favor of its own Exynos 7 — reportedly due to overheating issues. And while rivals have spoken out to back the chip, it seems the South Korean company may have been onto something.

Thermal imaging tests indicate the device reaches temperatures of 130° Fahrenheit (55.4° Celsius) under heavy loads.

With its U.S. release seemingly on the horizon, HTC’s new One M9 just got its first crop of promotional videos, which focus on its many improvements with Sense 7, BoomSound, and its new front- and rear-facing camera sensors.

After announcing the new One M9 at Mobile World Congress earlier this month, it looks like HTC is set to finally give U.S. customers a release date. The company today began teasing a “BIG” announcement for Wednesday, March 18.
