A leaked AnTuTu benchmark test reveals that the upcoming HTC One M9 will be sporting the traditional 1080p display as opposed to the popular QHD display found in the Galaxy Note 4 and LG G3. However, this will be compensated by a dramatically improved camera combination. The device is purported to have a rear camera of 20.7 MP and a front "selfie" snapper of 13 megapixels.
The HTC Hima or One M9 is the Taiwan-based phone maker's upcoming flagship device. Details of the handset have appeared a number of times over the Internet, indicating just how highly anticipated the device is for smartphone geeks.
Based on the leaked benchmark test results, the HTC Hima will also come with the octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor of 64 bits and a RAM of 3GB. If this information is true, it would mean that the upcoming flagship of HTC will be a monster device in terms of accomplishing a number of tasks, making it aligned with the recently announced Samsung Galaxy Note 4 that is touted to come with an LTE-A version.
Other features of the HTC Hima include a 1920 x 1080 full HD display of 5 inches, a pre-installed Android 5.1 Lollipop with Sense 7.0 UI, Adreno 430 graphics, LTE Cat. 6 connectivity and a battery of 2840mAh. The dimensions are set at 144.3 by 69.4 by 9.56mm.
If the specs sound familiar, it's because most of them have already been leaked online in the past. However, it should be noted that the HTC Hima has taken a major step up on the One M8's camera combination of 4-ultrapixel and 5 MP. Additionally, the device is expected to sport a sleek, brushed metal finish similar to its older siblings.
While a number of leaks have suggested that the HTC Hima will be formally unveiled at the CES 2015 in Las Vegas, some reports indicate that the device would most likely be launched in March. The reason could be attributed to HTC's plan of using the event to launch its first wearable device and a new handset from its Desire lineup.
It is expected that the HTC Hima will maintain the same build quality, design and top notch speakers of its predecessors. As the device's launch draws near, it is also expected that more leaks on its features will appear online.
