More tiny details about the HTC One M9 tipped: camera aperture, CPU clock speed

UPDATED:Resident leakster Ricciolo chimed in further on the camera sensor details.

The noise around HTC's upcoming One M9 flagship has become deafening, and the handset is claimed to sport a vastly improved camera on the back, as hinted by the huge camera opening in the recent leaks. A few One M9 cases have appeared for preorder on Amazon, by the usual culprit Spigen, and they reconfirm the 20 MP camera lens shape and size.

We've got another tip today, claiming to "fill in the blanks" around said 20 MP rear camera. The shooter is expected to sport f/2.2 aperture, and 27.8 mm lens equivalent, which means that the sensor might not be Sony's 20 MP model in the Xperia Z3 or Meizu MX4, for instance, but rather something else. In fact, resident leakster Ricciolo tipped right after this publication that the sensor is made by Toshiba, meaning we might be in for additional surprise from HTC in the camera department, save for the whopping fivefold increase in resolution from the M8 to the M9. To that we have to add that, according to Ricciolo, who's always had a good track record, the camera sensor is 1/2.4" in size.

Furthermore, according to Bloomberg, the phone will be powered by Qualcomm's newest Snapdragon 810 chipset, and the tipster confirms it, adding that the four Cortex-A57 cores will be clocked at 2 GHz maximums, while the frugal Cortex-A53 quarter will hum at 1.5 GHz at the most. Allegedly, these goodies will all be managed by Android 5.0.2, with a brand spanking new Sense 7 UI. The MWC expo is only a few days away, so not much left to wait until we see what HTC has in store for us on Sunday.
