Better late than never: TENAA releases images of the HTC One M9e one day before unveiling

Tomorrow, HTC will introduce two new handsets. Conspicuous by its absence will be the HTC One A9, which is not expected to be introduced until next month. The two handsets to be unwrapped by the beleaguered manufacturer tomorrow are rumored to be a China-bound version of the HTC Butterfly 3, and the HTC One M9e. The latter is yet another variant of HTC's floundering flagship, this time with global aspirations.

Just a few days ago, the HTC One M9e was certified by Chinese regulator TENAA. Those familiar with the agency know that its certifications are usually accompanied by pictures of the device that received the thumbs up. For some reason, the original certification of the One M9e did not include any photos of the device. We are happy to tell you that the photos are now available for you to stare at.

While we have your attention, let's revisit the specs. The HTC One M9e will be equipped with a 5-inch screen, carrying a 1080 x 1920 resolution. That works out to a 441ppi pixel density. The MediaTek MT6795 SoC is under the hood, containing an octa-core 2.2GHz CPU. 2GB of RAM is inside, along with 16GB of internal storage. Those needing additional memory can turn to the 128GB capacity microSD slot on board.

A 13MP camera is on back, with the infamous 4MP Ultrapixel snapper in front, ready to shoot selfies and handle video chats. Speaking of front-facing, the BoomSound stereo speakers in front offer Dolby sound, and the phone features dual SIM capabilities. The handset is 9.61mm thick and will be offered in Gold, Silver, Gray and Black. The unit supports 4G LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.1 and GPS connectivity.

We can now tell you that you can check out the usual TENAA-snapped photos by clicking on the slideshow below.
