Rumours and leaks surrounding HTC On
M9 Plus and HTC One E9 have been
around for a while now. The latest in the
are new purported images of One E9 an
One M9 Plus, as well as a purported
video of the latter's dummy. In the
meanwhile, the company has reportedly
started sending out invites for an event
on April 8.
The event invite features the tagline
'More than One', and show the back of
smartphone with a brushed metal dual-
tone build and a duo-camera setup that
bears a massive primary lens below the
smaller depth-sensing lens. The
smartphone in the image is perfectly in
line with previous leaks.
As for the leaks, we have already seen
plenty of purported images of both the
smartphones, and the new images are
in-line with them, tipping it is very likely
that both smartphone might appear very
similar at the final product launch.
Let us start with the large screen variant
of the HTC flagship One M9 , the
anticipated One M9 Plus. Upfront, the
One M9 Plus is said to feature a slightly
bigger 5.2-inch display with additional
physical home button. Although we don'
know what else the home button is for,
since there also three on-screen touch
buttons visible in the images, it is
possible that the home button is meant
to be the One M9 Plus' rumoured
fingerprint scanner, similar to that seen
on the Galaxy S5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6
Edge, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6
Plus.
The HTC One M9 Plus dummy visible in
the video by Nowhereelse, and the One
M9 Plus unit in the live images by a
Chinese blog iapps, certainly indicate th
smartphone is slightly larger than the
already-launched One M9.
The camera setup on the back of the On
M9 Plus is seen to be a duo-camera
setup, with a bigger primary camera
alongside the smaller depth-sensing
camera. To recall, HTC used the duo-
camera setup on the One (M8) but then
dropped it for the One M9, explaining
that the handset design couldn't
accommodate the 20-megapixel sensor
along with a depth-sensing lens.
