HTC One M9 features revealed in trio of leaked promo videos

We're not saying this is the definitive look at HTC's next flagship smartphone, but new videos and product renders out of China sure seem to be lightly salted with a hint of authenticity.

@upleaks today published a trio of videos that appear to be marketing materials for the forthcoming HTC One M9, which the company is expected to make official on March 1, mere hours before MWC 2015 kicks off in Barcelona next week.

Similar to M9 renders originating elsewhere, the YouTube videos appear to throw cold water on the idea of a centered front-facing camera as shown in earlier leaks.

In fact, there's not an awful lot to separate this purported M9 from its predecessor, last year's flagship HTC One M8, aside from potentially ever-so slimmer front bezels and what appears to be a single rear-facing camera with dual-LED flash.

Making an introduction

The first video is a professionally shot and edited introduction showing what the M9 has to offer, including personalized themes, an HTC Sense Home widget for displaying apps based on your location, a built-in photo editor, three-finger HTC Connect swipe gesture for streaming video or music and meal time suggestions for BlinkFeed.

On the hardware front, the M9 will apparently feature a "refined two-tone metal finish," better low-light selfies from the UltraPixel front-facing camera, a 20MP rear camera and BoomSound speakers with Dolby Audio surround.

The other two product demo videos feature no sound, but show the M9 in action while using the camera and creating custom themes. If you're in the market for a new HTC flagship, based on these videos, we'd say this one might just be worth waiting for.

Same as it ever was?

Despite initial confusion over earlier leaked renders, the general consensus among HTC One M9 watchers is that the Taiwanese manufacturer appears to be spending more time on what's inside the smartphone, rather than attempting to reinvent the wheel externally.

Speaking of inside being what counts, previous rumors have pointed to an octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor with 3GB RAM and a spacious 2900 mAh battery, not to mention 32GB of internal storage capable of being expanded via micro-SD card.

The M9 is also said to come packing a five-inch, 1080p HD display, but if that's not big enough for you, the rumored HTC One M9 Plus is said to up the ante to 5.2 inches at 1440 x 5260 pixels, and toss a fingerprint scanner into the mix.
