HTC clearly gets China's obsession with large-screen phones. Following the plastic 5.5-inch One E9+, the company is back with the metallic M9+ which, as you can tell from the name, is essentially the M9 on steroids. We've already seen most of the specs in an earlier leak: There's a sharper and slightly larger 5.2-inch Quad HD display, an octa-core MediaTek MT6795T chip (2.2GHz, 64 bit), 3GB of RAM, the same bright UltraPixel front-facing camera, and the same 20-megapixel main camera but enhanced with the M8's Duo Camera -- for the extra bokeh plus 3D effects at your disposal in the photo editing tool. The most interesting addition, however, is the fingerprint reader below the screen, which lets you quickly unlock the phone as well as making payments. But it's just unfortunate that this button resembles those on earlier Samsung devices.
The M9+ also comes with a 2,840 mAh integrated battery, the usual BoomSound front-facing stereo speakers and support for its very own Dot View case. Annoyingly, HTC didn't share any date nor price (which is what we're really keen to find out), but we do wonder how well this model will do compared to its lesser sibling both in China and elsewhere.
