HTC One M9 review
For years mobile phones were piece of plastic. Some looked good, but still had that cheap feeling of thin plastic. Long time smartphone manufacturers helped change this with the introduction of its HTC One M7 flagship device a couple of years ago and improved on that with its HTC One M8 last year.

Everyone loves an underdog. They're new, exciting, and upset expectations. In 2013, the HTC One M7 brought that incredible disruptive energy to smartphones, and the following year's M8 ran neck and neck with the best you could buy.

HTC One M9 review
HTC has somehow improved the amazing Boom Sound speakers. This time the dual, front-facing speakers include Dolby Audio, which help create a rich, crisp, spacious soundscape. Small issues aside, it's still early days yet for 2015, but HTC has managed to make one of our favourite smartphones, again.
Pros:
- Camera captures detailed images
- Well built and scratch resistant coating works
- User Interface is snappy and responsive
Cons:
- Water and dust proofing would be nice

The latest addition to the flagship HTC One series might not see a massive departure in design from its predecessor, but it does bring more refined aesthetics and an improved software experience, along with a shift in focus away from the Ultrapixel camera, even if it's not completely gone.
Pros:
- Metal construction improved
- Two tone coloration is subtle
- keeps phone neutral
- Handling is better with less slippery material choice on back
- lip on sides
- Display at 1080p is not missing a step
- BoomSound speakers still stellar
- Battery life just above average
- Sense 7 brings great speed and...
Cons:
- Phone is thicker than before
- Sharper edges might displease some users in handling
- Camera experience very uneven even in well lit situations despite move to 20.7 megapixels
- Low light performance takes a major hit
- New sense contextual elements might be annoying to some users

Pros:
- Boom Sound now comes with Dolby Audio
- Incredibly premium looks
- Themes
- Sense 7 overlay is intuitive
Cons:
- Over-heating issue
- Camera usage in low-light conditions dodgy
