Someone in China has somehow managed to get his or her hands on the handset, and promptly decided to make it the star of a photo shoot of sorts. You can see the resulting images below (make sure you click on the thumbnails for the full-size pictures).

HTC One X9

The design of the One X9 is thus once again confirmed, with its front-facing speakers, capacitive Android buttons, and its metal construction. On the right side we can find the SIM card slot, as well as the power and volume buttons, while the 3.5mm headset jack is at the top and the USB connector on the bottom side.

The HTC One X9 should sport a 5.5-inch 1080p touchscreen, a 13 MP main camera with OIS, an UltraPixel front camera, the MediaTek MT6795 SoC (which has a 2.2 GHz octa-core CPU), 2 or 3GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and a 3,000 mAh battery, according to the source of the photos.
