A few days ago we showed you a bunch of gorgeous concepts having the HTC One M9 at their center. The designs were posted on Twitter and revealed that the company’s upcoming flagship might end up eclipsing Samsung’s highly anticipated Galaxy S6.

Well, as we get closer and closer to the MWC 2015 launch scheduled for March 1, prolific designer Jonas Daehnert is treating us to a set of new renders, which compare the upcoming One M9 to Apple’s iconic iPhone 6 and Samsung’s Galaxy S6 (as spotted at Nowhere Else).

So if you were dying of curiosity to see what the HTC One M9 looks like side by side to important flagships, you can check out the gallery to get an idea.

Jonas Daehnert took inspiration from the leaks showcasing the parts and accessories of the HTC One M9 when creating the images you’re about to see in the gallery.

Metal is going to be the flagship material du-jour this spring

The renders show a metal-clad HTC flagship, so it looks like come this spring customers who like sturdiness on their smartphone will be able to choose from a lot of new options.

It’s interesting to point out that overall the three handsets seem to follow the same design patterns, meaning they all have rectangular bodies with round-ish corners, in the vein of the iPhone.

A few days ago HTC’s upcoming One M9 smartphone leaked in full, confirming most of the specifications we had previous knowledge of.

For those of you who missed our earlier coverage, this is as good a place as any to remind you that the One M9 will arrive with a 5-inch IPS display with 1080p resolution.

A powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 will be running things on board of the handset. If you’re curious to see how the chip will perform compared to the Exynos 7420 octa-core model inside the Galaxy S6, you can take a look at our previous story.

HTC will also throw 3GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB of internal storage on board. In the photography department, users will be greeted by a 20.7MP main camera with dual LED flash plus a 4MP UltraPixel front camera.

Other specs include BoomSound speakers, Bluetooth 4.1, microSD card for memory and a 2840 mAh battery.

So do you think you’ll like the HTC One M9 very much?
