With less than 24 hours to go before HTC officially takes the wraps off the One (M9), someone mistakenly uploaded a hands-on video of the device to YouTube. Even if it's been taken down in the meantime, countless people have managed to capture it and reupload it, so we can once again see exactly what the One (M9) will look like. Unsurprisingly, it's identical to what those leaked promotional materials (and videos) showed us a few days ago. In the image below, the One (M9) is on the left, with the One (M8) in the center, and the original One on the right. The front of the new phone looks incredibly similar to that of the One (M8), with only subtle details having changed. The situation is different on the back, however. In the picture above, the One (M9) is on the right, with the One (M8) in the center, and the original One on the left. Gone is the Duo Camera in the One (M9), as is the UltraPixel shooter, replaced with a higher-res sensor. The UltraPixel camera is now on the front. These images are basically screenshots from the aforementioned hands-on video. If you want to see the whole thing, you can do that at the Source link unless it's been taken down. Interestingly, HTC is said to debut a "dual finish metal unibody" construction for the One (M9). The unit in the video has a silver back, but its edges are gold (as made obvious in the shot above, which has the One (M9) on the right). The HTC One (M9) is expected to come with a 5-inch 1080p touchscreen, a 20.7MP rear camera, a 4MP front snapper, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 SoC - sporting an octa-core CPU with four 2 GHz Cortex-A57 cores and four 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 ones.

Though the badge doesn't quite suggest it, the Q50 is a familiar luxury sedan, the successor to Infiniti's G37 sedan. New for 2014, the Q50 is the first major redo of what was once known as the G, the first real Japanese-bred rival to the BMW 3-Series. Infiniti's freshest sport sedan lays out a more ambitious agenda than ever before...
The 2015 Porsche Cayenne brings a full refresh to the original off-roader from Zuffenhausen. The styling has been revised to match the latest sports cars in the range, and most of the powertrains have been tweaked or completely upgraded. The success of the Cayenne has also prompted a smaller version, the Macan crossover, which went on...
The Kia Cadenza was the value-oriented brand's first foray above the $40,000 base-price level, and just in the year since it's been introduced, it's already been joined by a larger luxury-minded sedan, the rear-drive K900. Other models, like the Kia Sorento SUV, can be optioned past that $40k mark, but the Cadenza represents Kia's...
It's been just a couple of years since a dramatic redesign for the Hyundai Azera, the automaker's comfort-oriented full-size sedan. Yet it faces an unprecedented level of competition, and the cars it's designed to compete with have all undergone major redos in the time since this generation of the big Hyundai made its debut. Those...
The 2015 Nissan Versa is one of the lowest-priced new cars on the market, and it serves as a great reminder that you can have a new car—and a new-car warranty—as well as a surprisingly good set of features for the money. If you're willing to forgo some style, technology, and performance, then it's a model worth close...
The Kia Optima carries forward for one more model year, even though its Hyundai Sonata cousin receives a full redesign for 2015. The Optima was always an advanced student of design, so that's fine; it remains nearly the knockout it was at launch four years ago. The Optima is still a strong entry in most respects, with good performance...
The 2015 Kia Sportage is probably one of the most visually interesting compact crossover models on the market. While standbys like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 have evolved to favor space efficiency and practicality over design, the Kia stands as the fun pick—if you go by its profile, which shows some evidence of favoring...
The 2015 Scion tC is no longer the most exciting thing in your local Toyota dealer's Scion corner. That would be the rear-drive FR-S coupe, which isn't as practical as the tC, but is far more entertaining to drive. The tC, meanwhile, is a competent liftback coupe that may better meet needs as a sporty daily driver. There's nothing...
The 2015 Jaguar XJ is the brand's flagship and its largest sedan offering, yet an aluminum body and structure keep it from being a heavyweight. It's built on a pretty daring design and represents a big departure from the nameplate's history; meanwhile, this model's relative lightness imparts nimble handling and a smaller, sportier...
Lincoln is targeting young, affluent car shoppers in East and West Coast cities with its new 2015 MKC compact crossover. And while that's definitely not the traditional Lincoln shopper, the brand is aiming its sights right over years of muddled messages, and blasting past those waves of constant change with a rip tide of...
The 2015 Dodge Dart is a front-wheel-drive compact sedan that's quite sporty and enjoyable to drive; it arrived two years ago and replaced the substandard, unloved Caliber hatchback. While the Dart lineup received a number of changes last model year, solving some teething issues for this, which is the first true compact sedan since the...
The Infiniti QX70, which was until last year called the FX37, or just FX, is one of the most driver-focused crossovers available—although it makes some deliberate sacrifices to be able to make that claim. It's not a trail-ready or rugged crossover by any stretch of the imagination, and it's not space-efficient either. Instead the...
The Infiniti QX50, which was called the EX37 just last model year, is one of the most driver-focused crossovers on the market today. However, many of the same attributes that make it that also make it one of the least practical in its competitive set. The 2015 Infiniti QX50 looks the part of a crossover with its tall-ish ride height...
Most of Kia's models have been revamped in transformation ways; yet the Kia Sorento has been more in tune with the market all along, so its trajectory has been quite different. Instead, this mid-size crossover has been given a constant-improvement plan, with almost every year bringing a new set of incremental changes. And altogether...
