Here's possible leaked hands on video of the M9. Found on Reddit. Was posted about an hour ago over there.

First HTC M9 Hands On Video : Android

Looks legit to me. Nice find.

 

[Bl00dRunzC0ld]

I'm honestly surprised nobody posted it here before I did lol.

Eeek, the comments are pretty rough on the phone. Looks like most were hoping for a change.

 

[davidtm]

Yeah, well looks are one thing, elegant functionality is the other big consideration. Sense vs Touchwiz, no competition! Here's hoping htc is back on track with the new rear camera and ultra pixels on the front.

PS - Boom Sound speakers on the front still (now with Dolby)!

"Looks like a clone knock off of itself.
How will the Chinese firms compete with that."

Couldn't be anymore right about that...

lol, they'll probably be able to come up with a fresher looking design!

Here's another source for the video in case that one ever gets taken down

First Hands On Video Of The Upcoming HTC One M9 Compares it to the M7 and M8 | Made of Tech

The motto for HTC should be, "Let them stare, then boo the hell out of us as they walk away in despair." HTC accomplished their goal of wanting us to stop and stare. People are staring all right HTC. Staring and saying WTH?

Can anyone tell the difference in the phones laying on the table? They look the same. I have the M7/M8 and now the M9 looks the same. Fail.....

I first watched saw the video half asleep without audio and originally I actually thought they were all the same phone lol. If they use the "let them stare" slogan again, they're going to get ripped a new one. Personally I think "Got Bezel?" is a far more fitting one.

Unless the HTC plus (or whatever it's called) has a different design HTC is going to get bashed. I'm sure it will be a great phone but I was expecting something more than a revised M8. Probably will go samsung edge and I was originally planning to go M9.

In another forum someone said if you look closely it looks like the M9 has a snap on case. Hmmmmm. If that's not a snap on case that looks horrible and doesn't look flush with the phone. And the color looks despicable. I'm gagging right now.

If it isn't a case then the M9 got wider than the M8 somehow. Looks like it's actually sporting a 5.1 inch screen, not a 5 inch.

Wow good point, it does look like there is a case on it...they guy should have said it in the video

 

[verks]

Its fake. That's a decoy with an aluminum cover. Some sort of lip on the side edges.

Yeah, I'd say something is a bit off with that weird lip or shell that is going around it. None of the other leaks seem to show that, and if that is how it really is then that's just...a really weird design choice. I'm not even sure how you'd craft and snap that sort of full back shell onto it, but pre production products can have some funky things done to them.

I wouldnt say its fake, it could be the real M9 just in a case

How great will it be if they punk everyone and show us something totally different in....... 9 hours and 27 minutes?

I think you are absolutely correct. They indeed will come out with a redesigned M9. That video was fake. There seems to be a lot of tomfoolery going on with HTC....

It's M9 or S6 for me... I just have to round up some loose change first
