A new batch of HTC One M9 images have supposedly leaked, giving us an even clearer look at the upcoming flagship handset.

The pictures come hot on the heels of a previous batch of snaps that were leaked only a few days ago. The new images, again published by nowhereelse.fr, show a leaked press render of the back of the phone.

Although it's a render, if it is real it's likely that HTC would be sending it out to members of the press or used in adverts. It's also clear that the HTC One M9 will look very similar to the One M8.

Another set of renders have also been leaked on to the internet that claim to show the new M9 in a variety of protective cases.

Spot the difference

These new images support what we've seen already, so it looks pretty certain that the HTC M9 will look all but identical to the HTC M8. If you're disappointed about that, at least take comfort in the fact that HTC appears to be concentrating on making the M9's insides stand out, rather than its outside appearance.

To further highlight how similar the two devices will be, Steve Hemmerstoffer of Nowhereelse.fr posted an image on his Twitter page comparing the HTC M9 prototype to the HTC M8.

Bear in mind that this is an apparent prototype of the M9, so the final design could change. However if it is accurate we might be getting a handset with slightly slimmer bezels, but largely identical to the older model in the looks department.
