HTC has launched yet another variant of its flagship One M9 in Taiwan. Dubbed the HTC One M9s, the device has the same physical look and only some of the specs changes this time around. It is priced equivalent to around $393 (TWD 12,900) and will be available starting November 20th.
The HTC One M9s is now powered by an octa-core Mediatek Helio X10 processor compared to the Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 one which brought it over heating issues to the fore. The main camera is now a 13MP snapper compared to 20MP on the original, the front Ultrapixel camera stays though.

While examining closely, the HTC One M9s is almost no different from the HTC One M9e which debuted in China; both variants of the One M9 come with the more cool-headed Helio X10, reduction in camera pixels and the price has to come down as a result.
