New HTC One M9 renders show up - could this be the smartphone's final design?

We're well aware of the fact that the latest alleged HTC One M9 renders include contradictory details: some present a device that closely resembles the One (M8) when viewed from the front, while others are showing a handset that looks more like a mix between the Desire Eye and the One (M8). However, all of them show a similar rear side - one featuring a single camera with dual LED flash (instead of the Duo camera that's found on HTC's flagship handset of 2014). In case you haven't had enough, we can now take a look at two new renders revealed by Chinese leaker @upleaks.

The new renders suggest that the One M9 will not have a centered front-facing camera. In fact, they're quite similar to the M9 renders that appeared in Germany over the weekend. Obviously, for now there's no way to confirm that this is what the real HTC One M9 looks like. Anyway, the handset should feature a 5-inch 1080p display, enhanced BoomSound speakers, an octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of expandable storage space, and a 2900 mAh battery.

March 1 is the day when HTC will officially announce the One M9. A One M9 Plus is also expected to be unveiled - this should be a bit larger than the regular version of the handset, allegedly offering a 5.2-inch display with 1440 x 2560 pixels, and a fingerprint scanner.

What do you think, can this be the final design of the One M9?
