It seems that HTC isn't able to keep their shiny new flagship devices under embargo, twitter leaker @leaksfly has just posted photos of a more powerful HTC One M9 dubbed the HTC One M9 Plus. the HTC One M9 is expected to be the mainstream flagship device but this new Plus handset looks to be a step ahead of what the M9 has to offer.

• Is this HTC's 2015 flagship device wrapped in a case?
• Alleged HTC One M9 appears with a bigger camera sensor

According to the source, the HTC One M9 Plus will come with a 5.5" 2560 X 1440 resolution display, powered by the Snapdragon 810 CPU + 3GB of RAM, HTC's Duo camera array and also a fingerprint sensor. Overall from the looks of the pictures, the device looks identical to the HTC One M8 but with a big round camera hole on the back, also something interesting is that the image also shows a physical home button on the front of the device. This is probably where the quoted fingerprint sensor will stay.

Overall, it looks like HTC is either planning to release two flagship devices this year or one of the HTC One M9 leaks are actually faked. All in all, these leaks are somewhat backed by several reports about HTC's 2015 flagship device. In case you aren't aware yet, HTC will be showing off these device during MWC 2015, so it's just a matter of weeks before everything comes to light.
