After we revealed that previously leaked HTC One (M9) images were of decoy test units and unveiling design details which set the phone apart form the HTC One (M8), @evleaks has posted an image which confirms all the details shared by our source. The leaked image is a thumbnail sized render of the HTC One (M9) and the HTC One (M9) Plus, showing edge-to-edge glass, slit speaker grills at the very top and bottom of the phones and the absence of the black bar on the One (M9).
The design of the HTC One (M9) Plus is a mix between the previously leaked images of the phone and the new design of the HTC One (M9). The front-facing camera has been centered above the display and the BoomSound speaker placement matches the leaked details shared by our source. The main differences which set the One (M9) Plus apart from the One (M9) are its size, black bar with HTC logo and its fingerprint sensor below the display which looks similar to the home button on Samsung smartphones.
What’s your take on the new design of the HTC One (M9) and One (M9) Plus?

Looks gorgeous
Damn it’s gorgeous!
What’s my take? Sign me up for one of each please.
I’m in for this stunner….Would be a wooow upgrade from my M7…Just wish to see how does the back look like..! March 1st come soon….;)…
I can’t be. The only one who thinks this looks Like the iPhone 6
How else would a rectangular phone with rounded corners and an (almost) edge-to-edge glass screen look?
Marcus, if you take a close look at the iPhone 6, it looks like a larger version of the M8. So, of course it has an uncanny resemblance.
The iPhone 6 was a direct rip on the M7! Same design. When the M7.came out, nothing looked quite like it. I (like a fool) switched the iPhone 6 due to my frustration with the lousy camera and limited storage of the M7. But as soon as this M9 drops, I’m getting it.
actually it’s the iphones that have taken on this look… not the other way around.
Now THIS is what I’m talking about. I await the release of these nice looking devices with Jedi patience … Ha!
I’m in to looks great….. just got 5.0.1 upgrade in the uk on the m8… sim free.
Totally fake. Look how the reflections and shadows dont make any sense
Do you know this is a render, not an actual picture?
Are you seriously this stupid
I’m buying as soon as it drops in the U.S
Lollipop in Europe. M8
M9 looks like winner for 2015. Hands down cheap Samsung and limited Apple.
And there it is. My top complaints against the m8? Not full glass front, poorly positioned power button, big useless HTC bar, and poor main camera, and this addresses all of them looks like I’m getting a HTC for the third year running.
When you look on pictures bar can make problem but when you use the phone you have no clue why you had problem before.
Absolutely gorgeous.
I was skeptical if HTC could top the One M7 design, I can’t believe that they actually could.
Looks way better than any other android phone I’ve seen. If the phone does end up looking like this, I’m getting it. No questions asked.
HTC really listened to there fans/ critics alike. Im having a hard time taking in & registering this M9 exist, because its so perfect. HTC didn’t go outside the box, but reinvented the wheel of past HTC devices, preserving the DNA yet creating something so different and stunning. Im also one of the MANY M7 owners that is soooo willingly to upgrade to this, M9. *throws money at screen* HTC you have slayed me to death, then ressurected me. March 1st cannot come soon enough.
Well if this really IS the shape of things to come, then I might just be tempted to go for a big variant for the first time. I love my M8 but perhaps the M9-big (whatever it’s going to be called) would suit my growing needs for a pocket office.
Once you go phablet you never go back to tiny displays.

I just bought the new Samsung 10.5 tab s and it’s OK but I still wish it was HTC, speakers are still crummy, and the glass is not as nice as HTC either. But I have to be happy, I like the aspect ratio, speed, and bigger size, I could use 12 inch HTC 16×9. I still have my One-S and it’s still good.
Cant imagine now go down less than M7 sound quality. Its like no sound movie.
Took me almost a year to cure from nervous tick not make a tube behind phone’s speaker to listen better.
M8 has best sound full bodied pleasant for ears not just loud.
They will never make removable battery phone anymore?
I was just waiting on a better camera to accompany the best phone ever made. Now I’m satisfied. M9 Plus here I come!
Maybe the M7 looks more solid than the latest two. But have to wait til you can take it in your hand.
It’s beautiful, but I’m not sure I like the fingerprint sensor button thing. It looks too Galaxy for HTC.
