The phone is one of the most awaited new handset which is being launched at the event and is the biggest annual get-together for the mobile telecommunications industry.

Samsung, LG and Microsoft are among the companies that have scheduled press conferences here where new phones are expected to be shown.

One of the most highly anticipated is Samsung's Galaxy S6, which is expected to be unveiled later on Sunday. The phone arrives on MWC 2015 as market leader Samsung has slowly been losing market share to Apple and other Android phone makers.

HTC's previous flagship phone, the One M8, was critically received. It's important for the company that the One M9 is also successful as it looks to secure financial growth after some rough quarters.

Both Samsung and HTC are vying for a slice of 1.2 billion Android phones that IDC estimates will be sold in 2015. Both companies are coming under pressure from Chinese handset makers, which are having success in emerging markets thanks to a mix of high specifications and low prices.
