Abstract: With smartphones now commoditised, it has become increasingly difficult for manufacturers to differentiate on hardware alone. However, one area where smartphones still tend to vary wildly is in the quality of the camera. It also happens to be one of the m...
Still an immaculately well built handset, with added grip and more comfortable form over its predecessor, BoomSound remains a cut above, Options within Sense 7, THE
Inconsistent battery life, leaving more to be desired, Camera still not up to snuff with its competition, Not enough on offer to justify a hefty premium over the last generation
With the One M9, HTC had but a few points they knew they would need to address in order to make it a worthy successor to the One (M8). They knew they were onto a good thing with the design and build and managed to make improvements in all aspects of measu...
The HTC One M9 is a solid feeling phone, but has enough small problems that make it hard to say you should throw your money at it. The dual-metal design is completely confused, like it could decide if the front melted into the back or the other way around...
