HTC One M9 Review
I missed Mobile World Congress this year so this was the first time I got hands on the M9. Overall I was impressed but wasn't quite blown away for what is a flagship phone. It is hard to improve on the already great hardware HTC had on the M7 and M8, but to me it felt like something was lacking...

The HTC One M9 has now landed, making it the latest flagship phone from the Taiwanese manufacturer. While it doesn't look too different from its predecessors , it's still a sleek and stylish phone that can go toe-to-toe with the iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 in the looks department.
Pros:
- The One M9 marks HTC's 2015's flagship phone, and like the M8 before it, things haven't changed too much - the new One looks a bit like the old One
- But that's no bad thing, as the One M8 (and the M7 before it) had a slick aluminium design, and it's been tweaked and refined to house even faster...
Cons:
- The One M9 doesn't feel like a brand spanking new phone - just like last year's M8, it feels more like a refined and slightly retooled version, which may feel underwhelming for some
- It's a solid handset, but if you're after something completely different from HTC, you might be waiting for a while.

As has become the norm, major smartphone manufacturers are expected to launch a new version of their flagship phones annually. On top of that, the average consumer expects greater improvements and features with each successive release.

It's clear that the HTC One M9 is an outstanding smartphone. As the first major release of 2015, HTC has a natural advantage in getting its product onto the market unchallenged. Right now, the phone is unassailable.
Pros:
- Still the most beautiful phone in town
- All-powerful for apps and games
- One of the best selfie cams around
Cons:
- Little reason to upgrade if you have M8
- No truly unique selling point
- 1080p display might soon be bettered

HTC One M9
Expectation. It is a word that underpins any flagship smartphone release, and when HTC informed the world that it would be unveiling its follow up to the immensely impressive One (M8) (review) at MWC 2015 in March, expectations were naturally high.
Pros:
- Well constructed with beautiful design
- Powerful processing and multitasking
Cons:
- Heats up under heavy use
- Doesn't feel like enough of a step forward

HTC has been a bit of a fan favourite with both Australian carriers and the buying public. Their phones have consistently been available through mainstream channels for a long time, and for the most part have sold relatively well.
Pros:
- Beautiful Design
- Fantastic Sound
- SD Card expansion
- OS is buttery smooth
- It's GORGEOUS – I mean look at it
Cons:
- Camera could be better
- Weird occasional lockups
- Still a little slippery to hold

HTC One M9 Review: Luxury + Evolution Packed Into One Very Smart Device
Now with the new HTC One M9 he is saying that the Taiwanese phone maker is playing it "Dangerously safe" with their new model smartphone because it has similarities to the M8. I disagree absolutely with Davidson's thinking that smartphones have to significantly differ from one model to the next.
Cons:
- Heat is a minor problem
- I would also like to see an option feature to fractionally enlarge icons

- best-in-class front-facing stereo speakers
- solid performance
- useful software features like Easy Mode and native theming
- supports Quick Charge for accelerated charging

- free...
Cons:
- Mediocre camera quality
- unexceptional battery life
- awkward power and volume button placement
- user interface a bit stale compared to Google's base Android Lollipop OS
- no wireless charging
- Quick Charge adapter not included with phone

Two years ago, HTC legitimized its position in the flagship phone market with the release of the HTC One. Better known today as the One M7, the smartphone stormed onto the scene with a gorgeous screen, solid internal specs and the best craftsmanship ever seen in an Android device.
Pros:
- The One M9 balances flexible storage with blazing speeds
- and the results are more than pleasing
Cons:
- HTC still hasn't figured out its camera
