Some leaked photos that would reportedly be HTC's next flagship phone have come out through French blog Nowhereelse.fr. However since news broke out about the alleged photos, the French blog site has taken down the supposed photos. The photos showed alleged spy shots of HTC's upcoming phone better known as "Hima" or "M9".

There were two spy shots originally placed, the front and back portion. Noticeable in the photo which showed the back part of the device is a large hump, the supposed camera which many may find familiar if you had seen the HTC M8.

This alone can stir a lot o criticism although it remains to be seen if HTC can elaborate on the eye-sore hump. There are some who speculate that this could be due to the camera that in use, possibly having features that could justify the unusual lump. But then again, there is no sense in criticizing it just yet, especially since these are just spy shots and the credibility of the site is up in the air.

The second photo shows the device up front. It doesn't have a thin black frame around the top glass but perhaps noticeable are the BoomSound stereo speakers. It shows off a proximity sensor and an interesting front-facing camera that will reportedly be something to look forward to.

The front camera will reportedly use HTC's UltraPixel sensor, promising easier and improved photos for people who intend to take 'selfies' with it.

For the rumored features, the supposed HTC M9 will run on a Qualcomm octa-core Snapdragon 810 chipset plus sense 7.0 UI. It will have a front display measuring between 5 to 5.2 inches but what makes it interesting is the supposed 20MP camera it will come with.

As far as the spy photo are concerned, they could be authentic or fake. But as far as the HTC M9 is concerned, it is something that is up and coming. All rumors and speculations about the HT M9 should be answered when HTC holds an event this March, something actually scheduled for their first smartwatch.
