A couple of days back, the specifications and features of the upcoming HTC Hima, also known as HTC One (M9), got leaked. But now, the credible tipster @upleaks has published a screenshot from AnTuTu site, showcasing the HTC One (M8) successor.

Going by the leaked AnTuTu screenshot, the upcoming HTC Hima will reportedly feature a 5.0-inch display, when the whole world is opting for 5.5-inch+ display size. The screen resolution of the device will also remain the same at 1,080 x 1,920 pixels, seen in the One (M8). Under the hood, the handset will be powered by a 64-bit, octa-core (Qualcomm Snapdragon 810) ARM-based processor, in combination with Qualcomm's Adreno 430 for graphics. It is worth mentioning that, initial rumours pointed to a Snapdragon 805 chipset, instead of the latest one. Plus, the phone will apparently be backed by 3 GB of RAM configuration, says GSM Arena.

When it comes to camera configuration, the HTC Hima/HTC One (M9) will sport a whopping 20.7 MP primary unit, seen in Sony Xperia handsets. In addition, there will also be a killer 13 MP front-facing camera for selfie enthusiasts. Notably, the same 13 MP snapper was last seen in the HTC Desire Eye smartphone.

On the software end, the device will run on Android v5.0.1 Lollipop out of the box with HTC's Sense UI v7.0 on top of it. Another leak pointed out that, aside from the ultra-powerful SoC, the upcoming device will also reportedly support VoLTE. Lastly, the whole configuration will be held together and energised by a 2,840 mAh battery unit.

GSM Arena also notes that, the HTC Hima with the aforesaid latest software configurations will not be introduced in the MWC 2015 event scheduled for March. Instead, HTC will announce its device in a special event of its own. Perhaps, HTC wanted to avoid introducing its flagship alongside other devices from different OEMs at MWC, speculates the same site.
