htc-one-m9-live-2As it stands, the HTC One M9 does not come with built-in wireless charging and to be honest, we’re not sure if lacking that feature is a deal-breaker for many customers, although it would be a nice feature to have. That being said if you had a reason to get excited over the next flagship handset from HTC, how does wireless charging sound to you?

According to a report out of Taiwan (via TechRadar), they claim to have heard from HTC’s Senior Director of Project Management and Electrical Structure Howard Lee that wireless charging will be a standard feature in their next flagship handset. What this means is that the HTC One M10, or whatever they will call it, will come with wireless charging capabilities built into it.

The report claims that Lee had stated that wireless charging was a feature that HTC had always wanted to include in its handsets and that it was originally planned for the HTC One M7, however it seems that back then the demand for wireless charging wasn’t as great so they decided to abandon the idea, at least until now where it seems wireless charging is more in demand.

It does seem like a bit of a tease considering that customers will have to wait an entire year just for that feature, not to mention it might put some users off from buying the HTC One M9, which is expected to go on sale unlocked on the 27th of March in the US, but in any case what do you guys think? Is wireless charging a priority for you when you consider your handset purchases?
