Ultrapixel front camera, BoomSound speakers, Powerful processing hardware
Poor rear camera, Battery life, Expensive
Compromises plague the One (M9). The rear camera works well in a limited range of lighting conditions, the battery life has regressed, less pride has been taken with the software and the design is less inspired.Older One flagships evoked an emotive respon...
Very, very solid; Aesthetically pleasing; Easy to customise; System performance is mighty snappy; Fast 4G speeds; HTC's front-facing BoomSound speakers are still awesome; Infrared port still included, and yes, it can control a TV; Upgradeable via microSD

The M9's camera quality and battery life don't measure up to its competitors. For better or worse, the phone feels like a rerun of last year's HTC One
