[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:
I agree that there is nothing wrong with the front of the M8, except the bezel, and such. :rolleyes:

However if someone was purchasing this off contract then $550-650 is probably too much for someone to spend on a device that really only a camera upgrade for 97% of the public. Yes I am saying that only about 3% are going to see a difference with processor, ram, and other under the hood upgrades over the M8. Now on XDA that 3% number may be as high as 20% but I doubt much higher.

As for who's right and who's wrong we'll obviously find out in 5 days.

Oh and I am pleased to see the Spigen case leak pic. Hopefully it will prove to be the final look...
[One (M9) General] Sultan of Speed:
If it has Qualcomm 810, then does it mean it's a 64 bit processor? Then does it mean it'll be running 64-bit Android? Then doesn't it mean that it can support more than 3gb of ram? Then why wouldn't HTC put in more than 3GB of ram? Please don't tell me we don't need it. We don't need 2k screens, but Nexus 6 sells like hot cakes. We don't need a quad core or a octa core, the processors of which are far superior than some people's laptops & desktops, but still that has become the norm.

So, again - why wouldn't HTC put in more than 3GB? That could well be a hot selling point for them.
[One (M9) General] mwatson:
This M8 looking render is not what the M9 will look like as the desire Eye and Nexus tab have redesigned speaker grills. Why would HTC give their new flagship an older design? I still believe evleaks what we will see on Sunday.

HTC One M9 Commericals - Mirror: http://youtu.be/8iE70XFxV_w
[One (M9) General] zaaye:
Well that settles it. Looks like the latest design. ....?
[One (M9) General] Rotten Ross:
I like the look of the device but not sure it's for me. By the time it comes out I will be 1 year into my 2 year contract on my m8, don't think carphone warehouse will let me upgrade just yet
[One (M9) General] th3:
Nah not upgrading to that.

Sorry 'black bar'

[One (M9) General] Super-Veloce:
If these video's are real, than I'm a bit dissapointed with its front, the same as m8... just 5 more days and we know for sure. Still going for the m9 though

Nexus 9 speaker design and front camera like the desire eye would look better..
[One (M9) General] Tachi91:
I sure hope HTC is laughing themselfs off right now.

The navbar is just weird. Why is there a key for power on it?

I hope HTC is being a trull at all this.
[One (M9) General] Mikulec:
Specs looked good, they even kept the resolutio of the display at 1080p and than this, old design that killed it for me. Why couldn't they made it to look like Nexus 9 in a phone form factor?
[One (M9) General] Juka_:
High expectations and same old disappointment... If that's true. Hope not!
[One (M9) General] Super-Veloce:
it could be a fake commercial by htc...
[One (M9) General] Juka_:
Maybe first half is true. Sense 7 camera. Hope second half is not! Miss render from evleaks already...
[One (M9) General] Mikulec:
They dont have the guts to post fake video and than laugh at us. I think the video is legit (I wish I am wrong).
[One (M9) General] d3sm0nd:
Very bad news. Same old design.

[One (M9) General] TwistyValhalla:
If those videos are fake then I have to say HTC's got some game. Hiring models, making fake shells/fake renders and shooting fake videos.. seems like a lot of work to me.
[One (M9) General] harlz:
Such a shame that the black bar is back. I'll be skipping this model also.
[One (M9) General] Alton (Halo 2):
What black bar? What am I missing? Why are people not liking the design?
[One (M9) General] harlz:
The black bar at the base of screen with the HTC logo
[One (M9) General] Alton (Halo 2):
Oh the bezel. Yeah that was one annoying aspect of the m8. It was way to large why bring that back? They already have the HTC logo on the back why bring it closer to the screen? But I see your point. I'm still getting this either way. :D:thumbup: I had 2 weeks to take my m8 (that I just bought) back to best buy and now I'm getting this.
[One (M9) General] Rage1ofakind:
Still looks great.

Anyways I still have this feeling that the PIC Evleaks leaked. The one we all love, might still be reality. HTC will unveil 3 things, the third is apparently a mystery, any chance they unveil a new HTC phone model. So like at the moment they've got Desire, One and Butterfly series.

I'm hanging on to hope lol. Even if it doesn't come, I'll be upgrading to that M9 we just saw on the video leaks. Still a HUGE jump from the HTC One M7
[One (M9) General] Jonny:
If it were Samsung I'd go for that, however, I'm dubious as to whether HTC would be able to spare the cash, they've only just returned to profit afterall.
[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:
We can get really conspiratorial and say perhaps they made the commercial with one of the "demo" devices we'd seen with the intent to edit in the final device at launch. :D

I'll hope right up until the last minute that this doesn't just look like last years model.

MG
[One (M9) General] Diddey:
Maybe it is the leaked m8i, the improved m8 for 2015?
[One (M9) General] Jonny:
I had thought of that but those commercials are in total ~3.5 mins long, that's a lot of frames to be edited and probably quite a chore (not delved into video editing much so don't know for certain on that).

Another explanation was that they hired all the models etc and did 2 commercials, 1 with dummy, 1 without but then that costs more money and we go back to the start again.

For now looks like it's the old M8 design... I would love it if we're proved wrong though :fingers-crossed:
[One (M9) General] th3:
Since the Saga days, I rarely follow gossip...

Until I landed on these vids. Nah, these are legit. G.O.

Whether there's 2-3 models... Only that remains a question. I would massively applaud HTC if this was a stunt, but it's 99.9% unlikely.

IMHO, their branding should be fixed and have something similar to:

M9s (budget/value) some spec/options

M9 (mainstream) all basic spec/options

M9x (enthusiast) max spec/options

Major options to keep fixed in all:

Storage

Screen ppi

Cam megapixel

[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:
Yeah I agree the chances of a device matching the commercials are very high now. Is it the M9, is it the M8i, a few more days and we'll know for sure...
[One (M9) General] PlatinumNick:
Battery life

am i the only one thats excited about battery life on this new m9. 5 inch phone 1080p and a 2900mh battery and simple htc sense is a bombshell of a combination.
[One (M9) General] Alton (Halo 2):
What about the octa core in the phone? Lol
[One (M9) General] PlatinumNick:
oh yeah that too but i find that as a positive i heard the new snapdragon is more battery efficient
[One (M9) General] Alton (Halo 2):
Wow! Lol I want to see how that will come out. If they do fund a way for that octa core to be battery efficient then this might be the best phone I'll ever purchase lol
[One (M9) General] spikeydoo2006:
Well, at least we know that the leaks were right with the edge to edge glass front, if this is indeed the expected finished design.
[One (M9) General] bigboss198:
Yup faceplate lol
[One (M9) General] Alton (Halo 2):
So what's the speculation of the release date of this phone?
[One (M9) General] PlatinumNick:
im reading probably first part of april
[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:
Yeah if it's more than a couple weeks beyond the announcement that's a big fail because Samsung won't take a month to get S6 out.

Especially if it looks like last years phone...
[One (M9) General] jpinks:
Rumor says week of March 9th for Galaxy 6 in stores, but that's just rumor.....
[One (M9) General] KilloMaster:
Jep, it looks like the real deal, almost everything in that video is finished.

They still have to do some work on it, like fixing the screen in some shots, and around 1:27 you can see that they reversed the video for a split second.
[One (M9) General] Alton (Halo 2):
Yeah I was thinking 2 weeks after the announcement MAX. So maybe under 2 weeks
[One (M9) General] Tachi91:
If this really was a fake video being passed around, to edit-in a false face for the phone wouldn't be hard since the overall screen in commercials are all ready simulated. Even real legit commercials from samsung and HTC you could notice the well practiced finger movements. Anyways making a false face for the phone and setting anchor points on a video editing software wouldn't take much work or editing frame for frame.

But this is just me hoping htc is just trolling people and seeing on their end who's leaking stuff.

Send out couple variations of an outer shell and see who leaks, same for advertisements.
[One (M9) General] Alton (Halo 2):
Lol who tweeted this :D
[One (M9) General] PlatinumNick:
the only think us htc m9 fans can hang onto is the spigen case picture. If you look at their pictures with the cases there is no black bar the the bezels are pretty small the front facing speakers are redisigned and thats all I need.
[One (M9) General] lopri:
The Nexus 6 sells like hot cakes? You mean, the Nexus 6 is more like hot potatoes.

64-bit has other benefits than being able to address more memory. The instruction level improvement made by ARM is one. Hardware encryption is another. Some apps can take advantage of more registers. etc.

---------- Post added at 01:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------

I am not in advertising business but those videos did not particularly look expensive to produce. I mean, if HTC can blow millions on ads starring Robert Downey Jr., then surely they can afford to hire a few no-name models and have them take poses.
[One (M9) General] Sultan of Speed:
Hot cakes, Hot Potatoes, Hot chicks - all the same. :D
[One (M9) General] dfMails:
Let's see how it really is

I wonder if it's worth it to switch from a Nexus 5 to the M9 ...
[One (M9) General] Super Chimp:
My main reason for considering switching from my Nexus 6 is looking for a smaller phone.
[One (M9) General] jamezr:
M9 will have better battery....better camera......better build......faster.
[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:
What a minute, where do you buy hot chicks? Never mind don't answer that.

So riddle me this, what if both leaks are correct? Perhaps the M9 does look like last years model however maybe it's not the flagship device anymore and we're going to see the device most of us want under a new name?

Yeah I know, grasping at straws a bit but it would also make much of this more explainable.
[One (M9) General] Imotep95:
Video is fake probably tho.
[One (M9) General] dfMails:
Hmmm,......

Well usually you'll see the disclaimer somewhere that the screen images are simulated anyway.

Not that it still can't be HTC.

[One (M9) General] hgoldner:
Based solely upon my observations, I will postulate that 3 things are shown in these leaked videos, all relating to a newer version of Sense 7:

1. A new ability to theme your own handset and set a color pallette based upon your own images or a camera image.

2. A new ability to edit camera shots on the handset, (more "Eye Experience" stuff than previously).

3. A location-aware widget with quick access to must-used apps, cf. Abilify and other similar launchers.

All welcome additions.

[One (M9) General] KilloMaster:
"Fake", it's not done yet.

It's just a quick edit to show to someone.

They still need to add sound, fix the screen and change the lenght of some shots. So I think we will see this video on MWC, but ofc the finished cut.

And why would they bring out 2 flagship phone's ?
[One (M9) General] ext109:
It's not 'truly' octa though. It's Big.LITTLE, meaning it's pretty much quad+quad. One of them being very powerful and kicking in during games and other demanding tasks, while the other quad is more power efficient and is used during web browsing and such. Should be very power efficient in theory, but if it is in practice....? We'll see
[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:
They wouldn't but the M9 doesn't necessarily have to be the flagship.
[One (M9) General] johnsweb:
is it true?

Whether is true or not, I'm sure One M9 is going to be another great phone from HTC :)
[One (M9) General] KilloMaster:
But it will be, why would you build up a good name with the "HTC one" series (M7 and M8) for being quality Android phones,

to then drop it as the flagship name and stick it to a refresh of the earlier model.

HTC is pretty bad at marketing sometimes, but not that bad.
[One (M9) General] Sultan of Speed:
I hope they change the styling a bit. M7 was awesome. M8, lacked the charm that M7 had.

Hope they bring back the glamour & charm in M9.
[One (M9) General] brian117:
Has anybody heard of a built-in wireless Qi charging rumor yet? Nobody has really mentioned that being a possible feature.
[One (M9) General] Tachi91:
It was talked about. Metal and wireless charging don't really play nice with each other.

If you bring up the S6 and it's metal body and possible wireless charging. Well remember it'll most likely have a removable back to switch out the metal with plastic etc.
[One (M9) General] jonnywright:
Just found an article with some really good renders of the two designs side-by-side...

[One (M9) General] Quadrider10:
it wont be that bad on battery. Yes, there are 4 more cores then needed, but Android 5, bigger battery, 1080p screen, and sense along with software additives, you can make VERY decent life on battery. Just get greenify and you are good if you dont want apps sucking up battery, along with power saver and extreme power saver modes. Project volta on android 5 will have a significant impact on battery performance, and lastly, once some custom kernels come out, who's to say that the user cant shut off 4 cores for everyday use?
[One (M9) General] jauhien:
How come DDR 4 RAM type went missing though? :p
[One (M9) General] Quadrider10:
thats the other thing DDR4 memory has MUCH more performance and a LOT lower power consumption. Im curious about what speed the Ram will be running at? 1600-1866MHz maybe?
[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:
lol this is HTC. Sticking with last years design would be marketing stupidity far more than changing the name. Anything is possible.

I would love to see this but with an all metal back it just doesn't seem possible.
[One (M9) General] hgoldner:
^ this + better speakers, better screen. :good:
[One (M9) General] Jonny:
One more thing. Upleaks says these videos were pulled from his friends M9 system... now I've never seen HTC include video commercials in their firmware - food for thought.
[One (M9) General] Super-Veloce:
Ah well... almost Sunday :fingers-crossed:
[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:

[One (M9) General] hamdir:
I work in post production

It doesn't need any editing, you replace the device in the composition and 're render very simple (in case of the introduction video)

The camera demo however needs to be reshot

Still far fetched
[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:
Come on have faith. :D
[One (M9) General] Dharkan:
I'm not sure how I feel about the phone. I kinda wanted a new design but then again, I don't think this one looks bad or anything. I'm using M7 at the moment.
[One (M9) General] brian117:
True...did not think about that. It could be possible the backplate has a thinner shaven area on the inside in the center to help with that though. It won't interfere as much. Would be awesome to see it built in somehow.
[One (M9) General] n1234d:
I found a very similar video on my m7 when I had it last year, it was somewhere in the system partition

Project Volta on Android 5 is a mess, it is sucking up battery more than KK, on every device is installed, Nexus, HTC, Samsung, whatever.
[One (M9) General] Dharkan:
Well sorry but I think you all are wrong about SD 810. 8 cores are actually good for battery life, aren't they? I mean the only reason they are splitted 4 and 4 is to use the less powerful 4 core to save on battery when you do things which requires less performance.

In truth there isn't really confirmation of anything except on Sunday HTC will reveal this years flagship device. Anything beyond that is speculation, some of it intelligent, most of it not.

In short tune in Sunday and we'll find out what the specs are and what it looks like.

And this is drastically different from every other phone mfg in what way?

Little OFF TOPIC

We may have sense 7 on M8's sooner then we expected. :D
[One (M9) General] Large Hadron:
Dunno, looks sort of cool, but a completely flat back with a screen that curves from that to the front also looks like it could be uncomfortable to hold. Sort of like holding my M7 with the screen facing my palm. I'll reserve judgement until I can play with one for real.

Also I want my SD slot back when I upgrade, which doesn't seem to be an option with the S6.
[One (M9) General] Quadrider10:
It's cool, but I think it's just another Samsung selling gimmic. The s5 had a heart rate monitor And a bunch of touchless ways to interact with the phone. there just doing it cause they can and it sells the phone.
[One (M9) General] Super Chimp:
I can't remember what the last phone was that I owned with a memory card slot was so that's not a decision that bothers me on the S6. I could understand people being desperate a memory card slot years back but internal memory is increasing and more people seem to use cloud storage.
[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:
Internal memory hasn't increased in years. 32GB is still the norm which is way under what it should be and there are a lot of folks where cloud storage isn't feasible because of coverage issues. For me 128GB on board and a MicroSD should be the bottom end now and it isn't for that reason I have to have a MicroSD slot and I carry 2 or 3 128GB cards that are 80% full.

MG
[One (M9) General] jpinks:
Yeah I been seeing that too everywhere. I was hoping for at least a 5.5. If its not then Nexus or ugh a Note 4 maybe my next upgrade and I really dont want to do Samsuck again. Battery too is a concern as its listed as the same as on the standard M9 :crying:
[One (M9) General] Super Chimp:
Your usage sounds way outside the norm of the average user. I have 64GB internal on mine & am not using near the maximum.
[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:
Because cloud storage is unreliable there is a great deal I store for work, I travel a lot and cloud storage is useless on airplanes so I have a lot of movies stored, etc. The point is that one size doesn't fit all and storage isn't growing the last few years. :)
[One (M9) General] Tachi91:
128GB as emmc on a phone is still an extreme.

You are part of a small percentage of power users. The cost to focus on bringing 128GB and up on a phone is not worth the cost to OEMS at the moment.

Especially to a company like HTC whose sales are nowhere near Samsung's or Apples so spending that kind of money is not worth the risk.

They'd rather sell you an usb-otg and a ext-hdd/usb.
[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:
I completely get that, for me its about at a bare minimum having the option to have MicroSD but still, memory is one of the cheapest things to put into a phone now so on board storage is really something that should be greater than 32GB..
[One (M9) General] geoff5093:
$5 or $10 makes a big difference when you have millions of devices, so they save any way they can.

Most people use phones for apps like facebook, instagram, snapchat, etc. Many stream music from Spotify or watch YouTube, but there are very few who actually fill up their phone with over 64GB of media.
