HTC teases something “HUGE” as One M9 and M9 Plus spotted in new benchmarks
We’re less than 2 weeks away from HTC’s big event at Mobile World Congress and according to recent leaks, it’s entirely possible the Taiwanese manufacturer could be unveiling 2 new flagship devices: the HTC One M9 and HTC One M9 Plus (Ultra/Ace). In fact, HTC’s Twitter page began teasing something “HUGE” coming around the bend, no doubt hinting at the larger sized flagship we’ve been hearing about.
Today, a pair of devices — model numbers 0PJA13 and 0PK71 — were spotted passing through CompuBench’s benchmarking site, confirming a few of these specs we’ve been hearing so much about. While we know the One M9 falls under the 0PJA model number, this 0PK71 is a little bit more of a mystery.
We can only assume the 0PK71 is the long rumored M9 Ultra given its reported resolution (1440p) and a recent tweet from @upleaks revealing a MediaTek CPU equipped variant for South Asia. The only thing not matching up is the 5.1-inch display. While it would be easy to pass this off as simply an error, @upleaks also recently revealed the possibility of an HTC Butterfly 3 coming equipped with a 2K display. So, who knows. Here’s the spec sheet as it currently stands:
HTC One M9 (0PJA13)
- 5-inch 1920 x 1080 display
- Snapdragon 810 1.9GHz octa-core (4 Cortex A57 cores + 4 Cortex A53 cores)
- Adreno 430 GPU

- 23GB (32GB) internal storage
- 19MP (20MP) rear / 12MP (13MP) front cameras with 4K video
HTC One M9 Ultra/Plus/Ace (0PK71)
- 5.1-inch 2560 x 1440 display
- MediaTek MT6795 1.9GHz octa-core (8 Cortex A53 cores)
- Rogue PowerVR G6200 GPU
- 2.6GB (3GB) RAM
