If a brand new teaser posted on HTC's official Weibo account is to be believed, the successor to the One A9 will sport a 5.5-inch 1080 x 1920 display with a 13-megapixel back camera and optical image stabilization, capable of capturing RAW images.

HTC has faced multiple setbacks in the past couple of years, but the Taiwan-based mobile maker has apparently shook off the dust and is now prepping itself to launch a new smartphone. GforGames reported that the upcoming device will be an upper mid-range offering known as the One X9.

The smartphone already starred in a handful of leaked images this week and has even gotten its certification from TENAA, per PhoneArena. The specs sheet shared by the Chinese tech regulator spoke about a 5.5-inch 1080 x 1920 display and 13-megapixel back camera. Those details corroborated perfectly with HTC's recently outed teaser image.

The rest of the One X9's specs include Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 chipset, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in storage expandable via a micro-SD slot. The above average rear-facing camera is paired with a five-megapixel selfie snapper. Android 5.0.2 is said to boot up the device straight out the box.

There's still no word regarding the One X9's exact release date. However, the amount of leaks and rumors reported in the past few days could be a sign that an announcement is almost imminent. The fact that HTC's teaser was in Chinese and got posted on Weibo might be an indication that the One X9 will first release in China.

According to GizmoChina, the Snapdragon 820 won't be shipped to OEMs until early 2016. This certainly means the One X9 won't be launched this month or even in January. In all likelihood, the earliest and most plausible time HTC can release the One X9 with SD 820 is in February, just in time for the Chinese New Year.

The Snapdragon 820 is fitted with a quad-core CPU with 64-bit Kryo cores clocked at 2.2 GHz. Qualcomm said it performs twice as fast as the Snapdragon 810 that released in 2014. Efficiency is also doubled as the latest chipset houses the new Hexagon 680 DSP, which is responsible for digital signal processing, GSM Arena reported.

SD 820 comes with the Adreno 530 GPU. The processing power of the Adreno 530 is said to improve graphics performance by as much as 40 percent. This means games run faster at a more efficient rate, with slightly quicker response time. Lastly, Qualcomm stated that the new graphics processor provides "photorealistic" graphics.
