HTC: another picture of M9 and... cheap M8i

The well-known specialist on the phone leaking - that Evan Blass - because of poor health "retired" from the Internet, but from time to time he gives signs of life. Recently he posted on his twitter channel @evleaks a photo of the new smartphone. Guess which one...;)

Yes, you hit - of course, the new HTC One! It could not be otherwise, after all, some time ago I said that a day without a leakage with HTC is a day lost... Unfortunately, if ever Blass could really surprise, today he doesn't do it anymore... He just interceded a picture of all generations of HTC One including the one that has yet to be presented, or M9. The photo by Evan does not add anything interesting - we consider it only for confirming the appearance, which we met in previous leaks. We can see slotted speakers, narrower frame around the screen, as well as other position of the front camera - like in HTC Desire Eye.

The problem is that in the photo there also appeared M9 Plus with a not fitted fingerprint reader. I do not deny the emergence of the version plus. I also do not deny that it will have a biometric scanner. And perhaps it will have a shape similar to a button in Samsung's phones. But look at the picture from @evleaks... Don't you have the impression that that element was simply pasted into the picture - and a bit crooked? I would like to believe that Evan was right, that he presents a real photo of M9, and a crookedly stuck element on the phone is only a part which is to mask the one that will actually be there... But somehow I cannot believe it. Maybe you can help and send some further information or a photo? And can you prove to me that the image is not the work of the graphics?

Let's leave the pure guesswork, or fuzzy photos. We have one more information about HTC, this time from the self-proclaimed "heir" of @evleaks, or @upleaks. His predictions have proved accurate so far, but almost exclusively they were focused on HTC... That's why I trust @upleaks again and I mention that - according to information obtained by him - the Taiwanese company is working on yet another variant of the flagship One. It would be M8i, hidden so far under the designation M8_QL. It's a cheaper variant of the current (yet) HTC flagship. M8i is to have a similar styling, but it will be equipped with a Snapdragon 615 MSM8939 with four cores clocked at 1.7 GHz and four with 1 GHz. Unfortunately, that is all known about this model...
