Only last week, a massive leak from China showcased the live photos of the HTC One M9+, also referred as HTC One M9 Plus. However, now, the same device is back in news with a couple of fresh, high-resolution renders from the credible tipster @UpLeaks.

Speaking of HTC One M9+ exterior design, the handset apparently looks like a good mix of the 2014 flagship HTC One M8 and the current flagship HTC One M9. The familiarity between the aforesaid devices reportedly comes in the form of the Duo Camera setup at the rear and the double-tone paint job on the body of the device. And going by the leaked images, the HTC One M9+ will apparently come with a physical home button. Similar to high-end Samsung Galaxy devices, the upcoming bigger M9 handset will house a Fingerprint scanner on the home button for user authentication, according to Phone Arena.

As far as the key HTC One M9+ specifications go, the handset will reportedly feature a 5.2-inch display bundled with a killer screen resolution of 1,440 x 2,560 pixels. Under the hood, the smartphone will apparently be powered by a 64-bit, octa-core MediaTek MT6795T processor and will be backed by a solid 3 GB of RAM configuration. When it comes to camera configuration, the device will apparently house a massive 20.1 MP rear-facing camera unit, similar to the Sony Xperia Z3 series of devices.

Meanwhile, according to earlier rumours, the HTC One M9+ will run on Android 5.0 Lollipop OS with HTC Sense v7 UI on top of it. With respect to the memory specification, the handset is believed to come equipped with 32 GB of built-in storage capacity. And similar to other high-end HTC devices, this handset will also come with the well-received HTC BoomSound speakers. On the HTC One M9+ release date, there is no official information available to ascertain the release of the handset outside Asia. In any case, readers should note that, the tech giant has not confirmed the HTC One M9+ specifications, release date and features thus far.
