HTC is throwing people off by planting fake One M9 leaks

There have been quite a few HTC One M9 leaks over the last two weeks or so, including a series of images that the leaker claimed depicted the new smartphone. For those of you who were disappointed that the leaked images showed that HTC didn’t deviate much from the One M8 design, you’ll be pleased to find out that the whole “leak” was actually a plan by HTC to throw people off.  

Over the past couple of weeks, we have been treated to a series of photos that supposedly depicted the upcoming HTC One M9. We’re sure many of you guys were slightly disappointed by the photos as it shows that HTC did not really deviate much from the HTC One M8 design, which is not a bad design by any means, it’s just that we’re sure many had expected something much different. The good news is that it seems these photos are fake. This is according to Evan Blass who some of you might know as @evleaks, the famed leaker whose track record on leaked handsets is/was very well known until he retired. According to Blass, the leaked photos were actually plants by HTC meant to distract you so that when HTC does unveil the handset, users will be surprised.
