Abstract: The fact that the M9 looks like the M7 and M8 doesn't make it any less attractive; all three phones are among the best-looking smartphones you can buy. But, as Yahoo Tech's Jason Gilbert pointed out in his commentary on the One M9, HTC could have done so...
With each iteration of the HTC One, HTC has improved on a great smartphone. But the changes in the HTC One M9 may not be enough for everyone. Not everyone agrees on the camera. I feel that if you need something that takes better pictures than this, that...

Weak 20-megapixel rear camera, No fingerprint sensor, Sense Home and themes feel like gimmicks
HTC's One M9 is yet another beautifully-machined metal phone, but its camera lags so far behind its biggest competitors...

The HTC One M9 might be one of the best looking smartphones, but does that make it a great phone? It has great specs and software, but the battery life is average and the camera fails to compete with other flagships. I know a lot of people don't put a hug...
Abstract: Whew -- what a month for Android phones! As if Samsung's new Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge weren't enough to keep us busy, HTC is also getting ready to release its shiny new One M9 at the same time.The One M9 goes on sale at all the major U.S. carriers on April 1...
Still metal The One M9 still feels like a premium phone with premium materials, even if some of the small design changes are, to my eyes, less than great, A respectable 1080p LCD While the M9's screen isn't going to win any awards for bestinasmartphone, i
Not any faster The M9 doesn't feel appreciably quicker than the phone it replaces, and sometimes can be slower (such as when multitasking). This doesn't speak well of the Snapdragon 810, which is already under fire for issues
The HTC One M9 is problematic. It's not a bad phone, but it's also not a great one, and it doesn't feel so much better from last year's device that an upgrade would be even remotely necessary for current One M8 owners. Even One M7 owners aren't missing a ...
Abstract: The HTC One M9 packs a lot in specs, that would make any smartphone fan happy, while keeping its familiar design aesthetics of the One M line. HTC was adamant about maintaining the look of the M9 in line with its older brethren in order to give a familiar...

HTC made some good changes to the M9, like getting rid of the gimmicky Duo Camera, Double-tap-to-wake—you can just tap on the screen to wake the device. It's great since you'll never find the power button on the first try, You can disable some of the skin
The M9 runs hot and performance suffers. Our CPU benchmark showed a 30 percent drop in performance, The design is stale. It's a new phone that doesn't feel new and doesn't solve a lot of the problems we had with the M7 and M8, The size of the phone. This
Ron AmadeoWhen we reviewed the HTC One M8 last year, our primary complaint was how little it was changed from the M7. HTC basically recycled the M7 design with the M8. Apple gets away with updating its designs every other year because it's a market leader...
