Like Jak noted above this is personal preference based on your needs and situation. Not everyone is able to update to the latest flagship every year and that's fine. As for me I won't hesitate, I'll be getting the M9 and selling my M8 on Swappa.

Main reason for me is the camera.

http://htcsource.com/2015/01/exclusive-htc-one-m9hima-black-bar-speaker-panel-design-details/

So the black HTC bar at the bottom is gone. The speaker (top/bottom) areas will just increase in size to make up for it.

That just sounds like two slabs of useless space on both sides now. The speaker grills will mimick the nexus 9 speakers. So what we're left with is a slit at the top and bottom edge for sound, a large empty space before the screen.

That doesn't sound like an appealing look if I understood that article correctly.
[One (M9) General] Badelhas:
Let's just hope they can make boom sound speakers sound even better, then
[One (M9) General] Rage1ofakind:
The bezel will be similar to the Sony Z3 / Nexus 9 I'm guessing.

Just hope that look doesn't decrease the sound quality of those awesome BoomSound speakers.
[One (M9) General] Mollace:
5" display in M7 chassis would have been the ideal solution. We have in theme chassis a little progress (instead of "utopia in progress"): 1. with tricky disappearing of the black bar and bigger speakercovers and 2. according to upleaks the M9 is 2 mm shorter and 1 mm narrower than M8, but the chassis of the M9 is far from ideal: M9: 144x39x9,6 vs M7: 137x68x9,3

I hope, the front will have the same colour as the rear.

Personally I would have preferred metal speaker covers after removing the black bar. The allglass front will collect fingerprints like crazy (see black Xperia Z-series)
[One (M9) General] rizevnarastek:
Akin to the recent rumors it's safe to say it's going to look something like this

I can't wait.

[One (M9) General] Tachi91:
That actually doesn't look half bad. Their wording makes it sounds like the their still going to be large gaps, but it's probably me trying to project what I've read to an M8.

Visually seeing the proposed designs to an extent actually clears things up I guess.
[One (M9) General] MrSlippery519:
If the description is in fact correct this is going to be a great looking phone, will be a day 1 purchase for me.
[One (M9) General] Badelhas:
I hope it's not as slippery as the gunmetal M8. I simply can't use my m8 without a case . What's the point of having a metal phone if I can't feel it?

[One (M9) General] dunemessiah:
I'm really hoping they can get the thickness down to 8mm! The last couple HTC flagships have been a little embarrassing on girth...

If Apple can get it down to 6.8mm, I'm sure HTC can add a little and avoid bendgate...

[One (M9) General] Tachi91:
Wonder what features HTC will put on the bigger M9 to entice attraction. Fingerprint reader can't be the only thing along with the screen.

Now I wonder which of the two will the commmunity lean to for developments. 5in screen is my max on phones, but if a W10 version comes out before the end of the year I might get that instead.

[One (M9) General] Ivanovic:
The m9 on that pic is just yummy!!
[One (M9) General] ch1lko:
I must say it does looks quite nice.

Hima Ultra has touch fingerprint sensor like this in iPhone, Ascend Mate7 and soon Galaxy S6, according to @upleaks.
[One (M9) General] Tachi91:
So from what upleaks has said

"That button on Hima_Ultra’s front is just a fingerprint reader(touch-based, is not garbage like One max’s), not working for Home-key."

It's not an actual button just the area for the finger print reader. So a design outline to say Hey! ITS HERE
[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:
In all honesty once we understand the full feature set of the ultra then I'll decide if I want one. The idea of a fingerprint scanner is somewhat intriguing to me but I am not sure it is a must have for me.

I hope there is a way they've been able to figure out wireless charging, doubt it with aluminum back and all but still holding out hope. Love the design though...

MG
[One (M9) General] King p1n:
Beautiful...well the normal version is.

Do a 4.7" with little compromise and I'll buy it in a heartbeat.
[One (M9) General] jshamlet:
Personally, I'd rather they forget this thin fetish and start putting bigger batteries in them. 9.5mm is not embarrassing. Not when you consider that it is a milled aluminum case of decent quality. I just hate that they curved the back to the point where they ended up restricting themselves to a 2600mAh battery.

I'd happily take a slightly thicker phone if it meant getting a 3500mAh or better battery. If I had to choose between an 8mm phone with 5-6 hours of screen on time or a 10mm phone with 12-16 hours of screen on time, it would be a no-brainer.
[One (M9) General] Rage1ofakind:
I'd choose a 9mm phone with 10-13 hours battery :p.
[One (M9) General] rizevnarastek:
Love the M9 concept but the fingerprint scanner looks whack and because of it the black bar stays put. Rather disappointed with the Max... Wish they'd ditch the scanner in favor of the same design as the normal version... It looks super send with it's symmetrical design. Love it.

Sent from my HTC One_M8
[One (M9) General] MrSlippery519:
Agreed, certainly not looking for a porker but I would sacrifice a small bump in thickness to gain more hours of usage. The rumors are the M9 will be in the 9.5mm range so lets hope they fill it with battery.
[One (M9) General] Tachi91:
If I recall currently Jeff Gordon said on Twitter the blackbar is space used for antennas and other circuit needs.

HTC titan was 9.9mm and it was thin. I liked that overall design.

But hey some design aspects are needed sacrifices. I like the overall M9 concept, but the ultra is not looking as something I'll buy.
[One (M9) General] Ronaldo_9:
Really like this new design...cant wait to get my hands on it!

Love my m8 with 5.0 GPE! it still looks better then my iPhone 6
[One (M9) General] dunemessiah:
The S5 is 8.1mm thick with a 2800 mAh REMOVEABLE battery. The 9.4mm thick HTC One M8 has a 2600 mAh battery.

Yes, the M8 is curved, but I'm sure sub 9mm with 10-13 hours of battery should be doable...
[One (M9) General] fix-this!:
I think all of these rumors and leaked pics will be proven false at the announcment. Im also hoping they go with a different cpu. Maybe the s808 or high end mediatek. The s810 seems to overheat and i just heard its been delayed. Either that or delay the m9 until may when the 810 is revised.

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

Not digging that centerted selfie cam. Other than that its a good render. The sammy style home button has to go, looks totally stupid and out of place. I say these pics are fake.
[One (M9) General] erapmicks:
I'd trust evleaks than random wannabe
[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:
Given Evan's history for being right far more than he's wrong I'd bet this is going to be very close to the final look and I am fine with that. I could care less about where the selfie camera is because I don't use it.

The more I've looked at the ultra/plus/whatever the more I agree that this design with the fingerprint scanner isn't growing on me. I am however in on the standard one provided all the other specs that have leaked pan out to be true.

MG
[One (M9) General] muzza19751975:
new leaks look awesome
[One (M9) General] th3:
Now let's see where the screen actually starts (top/bottom) under that big glass.

I'd hate for there to be more than 0.25" black bars either side.

But I'm expecting ~1" either side, otherwise the screen would be >5.4" at least.

Also, not a fan of that iPhone bar overall shape one bit.

And hope multi colour LED is there this time :/

[One (M9) General] MrSlippery519:
I actually like that the camera is centered, not for taking a selfie but for Skype/hangout video calling it just works better being in the center.

Not a big deal either way though.

Yeah I can see that. Completely personal preference though, I won't use it but can see that others use it.

[One (M9) General] Jaxellis:
Wanted to get the m9 "max" but that fingerprint scanner is just plain ugly if they put it on the back of the device it would have been better but I hate the amount of space it uses up down there! Will most likely just update from the m8 to the m9 non max.....
[One (M9) General] jpinks:

[One (M9) General] rizevnarastek:
All processors have thermal throttling but not all phones have a metal refrigerator casing around them... The metal quickly dissipates heat, that's why the M8 for instance never got throttled because of overheating.

I live is the US and hate carrier branded phones. With android I atlease know a flasgship will have a developer version or world release so rooting, soff etc.

With Windows your stuck. Limited release to the US doesn't amount to developers really getting their hands on it.

As nice as Windows phone has been in my opinion, going back to an iPhone like environment (no cydia etc) is not a positive one.

I keep hoping and praying like hell , that the "leaked" images of the M9 showing the black HTC Bar are just fakes and dummies . The biggest gripe I have with this phone is its height .

But Im still allowed to keep dreaming LOL.

[One (M9) General] SilencerRemix:
If the final design looks like those user made renders I would be drooling lol.

I am interested to see what sensor will be used for the rear camera. Some reports were saying Sony and new reports say it may be Toshiba. I hope that it is a significant improvement on not just the M8 but other competing phone cameras. I also have my fingers crossed that it includes OIS.

I also see three buttons on the right side of the phone???

Wonder what's what here? :confused:
[One (M9) General] Slicktune:
The 3rd button on the side is the self destruct button...like if someone wants to steal the phone from your hand you simply press the button and it will automatically brick the phone leaving the phone with any sort of function, as well as the screen will start cracking carefully without injuring the user/owner of the device. -HTC

I really like this concept render for its uniform display bezel and all-glass front (adopting the speaker grille design from the Nexus 9):

Also, rumors suggest that the camera will be a 20 MP, not 20.7.

If the silver version has black antenna bands or if Google chooses HTC to make the Nexus 5 2nd gen and base the design off the Hima, I'd seriously consider getting one.
