HTC hasn't released more extensive specifications like dimensions or storage space. You can bet that the M9+ is at least a bit larger than the original M9 thanks to the bigger screen and fingerprint scanner. There's also no word on exactly what kind of technology is in that scanner, though it looks similar to Samsung's sensor on the Galaxy S5 (which requires a swipe-up motion). For comparison, the M9 uses 3GB of RAM and 32GB on the base model of storage plus a MicroSD card slot - previous leaks indicated similar specs for the larger phone. The software on the M9+ is "Sense 7," which means it's running on top of Android 5.0 at the least. Colors include black, gold, and the gold-on-silver version so prominently advertised for the M9.

HTC also neglected to mention a price or date, even for the Chinese release. With that MediaTek processor and HTC's penchant for market-specific designs, it's entirely possible that we won't be seeing the M9+ outside of Asia, at least not in this configuration. That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see elements of the phone (especially the fingerprint scanner and larger screen) on future worldwide releases.
