Earlier today, a pair of leaks showcased just what the HTC One (M9) will more than likely look like, ahead of any kind of official announcement from HTC.

Those images effectively confirmed what many people had chosen to hope wasn’t true: that the One (M9)’s frame will look strikingly similar to the One (M8) from last year — especially the front. While the pair of promotional images seem to confirm this design decision, there’s still room for hope that it won’t be the case.

That is, until three separate promotional videos for the upcoming flagship device found their way online via @upleaks. The first of which is pretty rough, but does a good job of showcasing specific features of the upcoming, and yet still unofficial handset. The other two are pretty clear and direct.

It looks like the One (M9) will indeed feature that familiar, way-too-large black bar below the display. Check out the videos below. And no, there is no audio in the first two videos.
