HTC One M9 review: One up

23 March 2015
One of the hottest bodies in business just got hotter, in time for next season. Touched-up and brushed-down, the HTC One M9 arrives spot on time third year in a row, looking like a celebrity and acting like a pro. There's an engine boost and upgrades...

I really love the look of the previous one's, but now the golden on the sides is just a kick on the nuts

    Disappointing battery life.

          Just played with it for some 20 minutes following are my observations:
          1) very nice looks very appealing design some great polishing of metal.
          2) simply poor camera (trust me I am really being honest) very good front camera you can say best amongst all flagships.
          3) sense ui made more complicated, gallery again very complicated.
          If I am going to buy it will be only because of the built quality and looks. I hate the kind of fonts htc chooses specially when you read the sent email on a pc it's not professional I won't like to reply to an official email using this.

Like, the M9 takes impressive panoramas but is rejected in this review due to low resolved detail.

                        I too think its a mistake by htc to sacrifice overall still image quality for resolved detail, a stupid trend that is unfortunately preferred by many, esp reviewers on this site, the camera sections on reviews here can safely be disregarded, look at the samples and dont read the text.

                              I really wanted to like (and buy) this phone. However using the image compare thing on here, my ancient iPhone 4 takes pictures less noisy than the m9s!

                              Sad times!

So do lots of H... moreMy only hate against HTC is that they don't give a shit to my country and don't sell here. Even though we have a major smartphone market. Samsung often sell their flagships here even before than United States and even Apple is here with some of the highest prices in the world. But HTC don't give a shot...

                                By the way, I'm talking about Brazil.

                                      I was really looking forward to this phone being my next phone. People talk about how the design is lacking but in my opinion it's the best looking HTC One yet (I own a Samsung, not HTC). My areas of concern are the battery, it's average at best considering it should be better for its size. It needs to be better for the price, the M8 was. The camera is lacking (image stabilization is much needed). The pictures should at minimum produce clear, detailed images. A Sony sensor should have been required. I'm not asking for Nikon quality, just confidence when I do decide to use the camera. A good battery and a decent camera shouldn't be sacrificed. I won't get another Samsung but I'm not fully sold on the M9.
