The first images of HTC's upcoming HTC "Hima" One M9 have leaked online. The images confirm it will share the same design as the One M8 and possibly trade in its Duo Camera for an improved 20.7-megapixel rear camera.

HTC has historically used Mobile World Congress to unveil its latest flagship smartphones. In 2013, the HTC One M7 received top honors and was awarded "Best New Mobile Device" by the GSM Association at Mobile World Congress. The smartphone was a departure from the usual plastic Android handsets and instead used a solid aluminum unibody case that would come to define HTC's flagship smartphones.

In 2014, HTC followed up on the success of the One M7 by announcing the One M8. The handset was praised by reviewers  and became an instant hit with consumers who wanted an Android handset with top of the line specs and a premium, high-end feel.

The company's upcoming 2015 flagship HTC "Hima" One M9 has seen its share of leaks and will be announced at HTC's Mobile World Congress press event on March 1. The first images of the smartphone have just leaked online and show it will retain the signature look and style of its predecessors.

Nowhereelse posted the above images of what it claims are the first pictures of the HTC "Hima" One M9, although they have since been removed. The smartphone looks virtually identical to the HTC One M8 and appears to have ditched the rear Duo Camera for what is believed to be a single 20.7-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash. We can clearly see that the great-sounding HTC BoomSound dual stereo speakers remain on the front of the device, along with reduced bezels surrounding the 1080p display.

The HTC One M9 is expected to feature a 5-inch 1920 x 1080 Full HD display with a pixel density of 440 pixels per inch (ppi), a 2 GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, and 3 GB of RAM. The smartphone will reportedly run Android 5.0.1 and an updated version of HTC Sense 7.

As always, we'll keep you up to date on all of the latest HTC One M9 details as they become available.
