Leaked HTC One E9+ photos show glossy plastic build

A few weeks ago we told you that HTC is working on a new version of the One M9 flagship, a version allegedly called the HTC One E9+. Today the smartphone surfaced once again, as several photos of the HTC One E9+ popped online showing the smartphone's glossy plastic build. The photos show a One E9+ version with a white back and a gold front, but HTC is likely to offer the smartphone in multiple color versions.

The HTC One E9+ is said to come with some very interesting hardware specs such as a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels, a 64-bit MediaTek MT6795 processor with a 2.2GHz octa-core processor, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of integrated storage space, hopefully expandable via microSD. According to rumors, the HTC One E9+ will use the same camera setup as the metallic One M9 flagship, meaning that we expect a 20MP primary camera on the back and a 4MP Ultrapixel sensor on the front.

The source of these leaked photos claims that the One E9+ will also come with a fingerprint reader. The photos show that the One E9+ lacks a physical home button, but maybe HTC found a new way of integrating fingerprint readers on smartphones.

The all-plastic HTC One E9+ is said to be launched by the end of the month in Asia at a price of roughly $480. At the moment, it is unclear if the smartphone will be launched in Western markets as well.
