HTC One M9 Briefly Listed With Images, Price, and Specifications

The HTC One M9 has not launched yet but we still have a sense of familiarity with the handset due to the innumerable leaks and rumours. This time the smartphone was briefly listed in Gunmetal Grey and Gold variants by an e-commerce website along with images, specifications and a EUR 749 (roughly Rs. 52,700) price.

Cyberport, a German e-commerce site, listed (via The Verge) the HTC One M9 for a short while with images as well as specifications. The latter list confirms previously rumoured specifications, however, the images show a smartphone that is slightly different previous leaks, and misses out the more prominent BoomSound speakers tipped earlier. It is being speculated Cyberport could have created the renders itself, rather than sourcing promotional materia.

As seen in the HTC One M9 renders, the smartphone will not be focused on being slim. As per Android Police, the smartphone will measure 144.6x69.7x 9.61mm. The handset's overall design looks similar to be the current HTC One (M8) and nothing like what we saw last month courtesy @evleaks.

The images also show the handset to arrive in two new colour variants. While one is a mix of silver front and rear panel with golden side and top bezels, the other one is seen in dark gunmetal grey colour. Also, the rear camera design has been changed from circle to a square with curved edges. HTC One M9 Plus, the larger version of the flagship that has also appeared in couple of leaks and rumours, was not seen anywhere.

The HTC One M9 is said to include the same specifications which have been tipped before. The phone will stick to 5-inch full-HD resolution display seen in the HTC One (M8). A 20.7-megapixel rear camera with dual-LED flash is expected along with a front-facing 4-megapixel camera supported by HTC's UltraPixel technology.

Adding to the previous rumours, the octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor on the HTC One M9 is said to feature a 2GHz clock speed, and be coupled with 3GB of RAM and an Adreno 430 GPU. Besides a 32GB and 64GB inbuilt storage variants, the smartphone will include the option to expand the storage up to 128GB (via microSD card) and run on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop with Sense 7.0 UI slapped on top. Other features tipped include, BoomSound speakers, Bluetooth 4.1 and a slightly more (2900mAh) battery capacity than mentioned previously (2840mAh).

HTC has sent out invitations titled 'Utopia in Progress' for an event in Barcelona on March 1, a day before MWC kicks off. The HTC One M9 and the One M9 Plus are expected to launch at the event.
