The existence of two larger variants of the HTC One M9 has been all but confirmed. One is the big, plastic-bodied HTC One E9, the other is the equally large but aluminum-bodied variant: what we now know will be called the HTC One M9+. As expected, even more leaked pictures have emerged, showing the finger scanner and gigantic camera lens. See below for the images.
HTC One M9+ design
The HTC One M9+ has appeared in even more leaked images, showing the gigantic size of the phone, the physical home button that reportedly also houses a finger scanner like that found on the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge (though we don’t know if it is swipe or touch-based yet) and the massive camera lens on the back.
According to @upleaks, it has been confirmed that the phone codenamed HTC Hima Ultra, and informally known as the HTC One M9 Plus, will in fact be called the HTC One M9+, rather than the ‘M9 Plus’. @upleaks tweeted:
“Hima_Ultra will be going to the market as HTC One M9+(not Plus), and I was wrong it will be available in EMEA too…”
HTC One M9+ release date
@upleaks also said that the HTC One M9+ release date will likely be the “end of Q1 or early Q2″ this year. The phone will most likely have a 5.2″ QHD display, 20.7MP rear camera, 4MP UltraPixel front camera, and an octa-core chipset – which will come in Snapdragon 810 and Mediatek MT6795 varieties – putting it on a par with the One M9.
HTC One M9+ price
Not surprisingly, there’s no word on a dollar figure for the HTC One M9+ price, but you can expect it to be expensive. If it is packing larger and more pixel dense display than the One M9 along with otherwise equivalent specs, you can only assume the price will be significantly higher, possible up there in iPhone 6 Plus and Galaxy S6 Edge territory.
HTC One M9+ features
Earlier images of the HTC One M9+ (pictured below) show the phone in someone’s hand, where it appears to have a large physical home button at the button. This detail matches the most recent images above. This’d certainly be a new direction for HTC, who haven’t used physical home buttons in years. We wonder if that physical button on the front might also include a finger scanner like that found on the Galaxy S6?
