HTC One M9 Review: A Step Backwards

It's not a good sign when your lead designer quits days before the launch of your flagship phone. Apart from some innovative software features, there's little to recommend the HTC One M9 over any competing device.
Pros:
  • Excellent speakers
  • Nifty personalization features
  • Uh Oh insurance will replace damaged phone
Cons:
  • Sharp edges
  • Short battery life
  • Poor viewing angles

The HTC One M9 is a great Android phone, but there are options that are slightly better.
Pros:
  • A top-tier Android phone
  • Two-toned metal design is stylish
  • Android 5.0 Lollipop looks great
  • Themes are a fun way to customize the UI
Cons:
  • Poor battery life
  • Power/volume buttons awkward to press
  • Annoying bezel and ledge on the edges
  • Just an average camera

Review: HTC One M9

HTC built a big lead in design chops a couple of years ago, but the rest of the market has caught up fast: Samsung, Motorola, and Apple all make beautiful, big, high-resolution phones now. Honestly, so do lower-end brands like Alcatel, Blu, and OnePlus. Lovely hardware design isn't novel anymore.
Pros:
  • As beautiful as the Ones before
  • Great screen, great battery life
  • HTC's onto something, letting you customize your phone so much
  • Uh Oh Protection will replace your phone, no questions asked
Cons:
  • The camera just still can't keep up
  • The One wants to be responsive and aware, but it's just not smart enough to be really useful yet

HTC One M9 (T-Mobile)

Smartphone upgrades are typically biennial events, their significance only enhanced by how personal and essential the devices have become. When upgrading, it's not unreasonable to expect something that's better in ways that go beyond just specs.
Pros:
  • Fantastic design and build quality
  • Fast performance
  • Seamless software customization options
  • MicroSD card slot
Cons:
  • So-so battery life
  • Competitive, but still-disappointing camera

  • fine HD screen
  • powerful processor
  • decent camera
  • expandable memory
  • good battery life
Cons:

HTC knows that when you're on a good thing – you stick to it. That was obviously the thinking behind its latest flagship smartphone – the One M9 – because it looks almost identical to last year's popular model.
