Not sure about the battery on these. The M7 and M8 have to be practically destroyed to replace the battery. At least the iPhone can be taken to bits with a screwdriver...
Samsung need to keep their removable battery heritage going IMO because disposable premium smartphones aren't the way forward.

I hope this rumor proves to be false. MediaTek CPU and Quad HD on a 5.1" display? Unproven CPU and unnecessarily high display resolution--terrific.
And only 5.1" on they 'Plus' device (isn't the standard M9 rumored to be 5")?Just when HTC seems to have fixed their issues that go ahead a muck it up all over again.
Really hope this is proven untrue.Pass the salt and pepper if these specs come to fruition. I doubt it seriously and I probably will not even give it a look see when it is on a carrier's display considering its cost.
Agreed on the MediaTek part. Hopefully these are just rumors and the real M9 has what was reported first with these specs...I hope this rumor proves to be false. MediaTek CPU and Quad HD on a 5.1" display? Unproven CPU and unnecessarily high display resolution--terrific.

that's gotta be some variant or a budget model or something
has there ever been an htc mediatek phone?

I suspect you may be right. A slightly bigger device for Asian market where mediatek is less frowned upon than here - and where they like phablets size handsets.
The latest that I found:

So much for those renders if these leaks are true. Official pictures leaked:

Is it time to knock HTC for reusing the same design principles as have been criticized of apple and Sony and other OEMs?
I mean there is virtually no change to the front if the device...

Hmmm. Was hoping there would be some inroads into the bezels, especially the bottom HTC chin.
Overall design is better than most so I personally don't mind that it's more-or-less unchanged. Not sure about the rest of the market, though.
Slightly more worrying is the absence of OIS in reference to the camera. However, it protrudes on the renders so hopefully it's present. If there isn't OIS or a fingerprint sensor it may be a hard sell given what the competition can PR.

I agree. If this latest leak is true it'll just seem like an update to the one, almost like the s variant of the iPhone. And the camera is just them finally catching up putting in the proper camera. Not having ois would be a mistake. It'll be like they're still behind the competition.
March 1 will be interesting.
Don't forget though that the leaked picture below, which matches closely to those beautiful renders earlier, came from evleaks who has been very reliable in the past.
There's still hope?

There's still hope?
The leaked images of the device are unimpressive to say the least. The M8 was a solid device, but I don't want another one, which is what the M9 seems to be. The HTC "chin" needed to go, and I'm not a fan of the protruding camera on a phone that isn't even slim.
Which phone do have that doesn't have a protruding camera? I think they all do.
Yeah, but at least all these other phones with protruding cameras are reasonably THIN. The fact that people are seriously into this phone is baffling to me. It's the M8 ALL OVER AGAIN, with barely any changes.
Yes.... It looks like it might be close to the M8 and that phone won design awards. Add more speed to a phone that has the fastest android UI. Add a better camera and better design tweaks. Winner in my book. How thin does a phone need to be? My 6+ is already too thin. It's has a protruding camera that makes the phone rock when on a flat surface. I want to see what Sense 7 has to offer what they did with the camera.
