14 DAY TRIAL // We’re just a few days away from one of the tech world’s biggest gathering, MWC 2015, which will be take place in Barcelona.
HTC is going to be one of the major brand vendors coming at the event with one purpose in mind: to unveil its latest flagship, the One M9.
Many details have popped up online regarding the HTC One M9, even if they don’t all agree with each other. Anyway, not so long ago the first real-life images of the HTC One M9 showed up on the web, showing an awful resemblance to the current One M8.

Well, this week German retailer CyberPort has listed the upcoming flagship, thus revealing a bunch of images showcasing the model plus specs. Since then the mentions have been removed, but luckily the folks over at Mobile Geeks have managed to retain an overview of the listings before they were taken down.
According to this information, HTC will be offering the flagship in either gunmetal gray or gold or silver. As for specs, we are shown the handset will boast a 5-inch display with 1080p, exactly like the One M8.
Hopefully, for those of you who crave a 2K display smartphone in your life, HTC will also roll out the One M9 Plus to appease more demanding customers.
Going back to the One M9, the processor pumping life into the handset is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, just like in the case of the LG G Flex 2 and Xiaomi Mi Note Pro.
The smartphone bundles 3GB of RAM (maybe the Plus version will take things further to 4GB of RAM), 32GB inbuilt storage which is expandable to 128GB via microSD card.
In the photography department, we have a primary 20MP sensor with optical image stabilization and dual LED and dual color flash, while on the back lives a 4.0 Ultrapixel camera.
The One M9 is expected to be a tad lighter than its predecessor coming in at 157 g / 0.28 inches but also a bit thicker at 9.61 mm / 0.37 inches due to its larger 2,900 mAh battery.
Last but not least, it appears the HTC One M9 will go on sale for a hefty price of €749 / $850 which might as well indicate that the handset will sell for $750 / €660 when it arrives on US grounds.
