If the iPhone 6 is the Mercedes-Benz of smartphones, the HTC One M9 is its BMW rival. It is classy, distinctive and powerful. And while it feels slightly heavier than its current generation rivals, it has substance and grips reassuringly in your hand. It ...

The One M9 is a striking and attractive design, and I'm glad it hasn't changed it substantially. But it's a brutally competitive market and HTC can't count on Apple and Samsung's complacency any more: both leaders have raised their game. Hopefully HTC can...
When you consider some of the devices that are newly released and the ones that will be turning up in the next few months, it feels that the M9 is in a bit of a quandary. With Samsung and LG set to release their next big blockbusters, which we'd predict w...

The HTC One M9 inherits its predecessor's stunning metal design and strong speakers, and has a bright, sharp display. It runs the latest version of Android, and the new Sense 7 software is simple, responsive and highly customisable. It's one of the few fl
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
