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

Abstract: HTC just outed the next heir to its flagship lineup. The One M9 largely keeps the premium metal unibody aura of its predecessor, but upgrades the internals with a faster Snapdragon 810 chipset, and a high-res 20 MP camera. Will those be enough to warrant...
Abstract: You don't mess with a winning formula, wise people say, and some will point out that HTC's brand-new One M9 flagship is a testament to that. But the underlying decision-making that brought us the M9 is a bit more complicated than that. A bit, not a lot. ...
Looking at the big picture, one thing is certain: both the HTC One M9 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus are two devices built with exceptional care to their looks and style, and both deliver in that aspect.insertAdIframe('ad_550f583c9b95d' '//s-cdn.phonearena.com/...

Great performance, Toptier build quality, Sense 7 is lightweight and thoughtful, Quick charging works well
Main camera is lackluster, Screen isn't as vivid as last year's model, BoomSound speakers lack some oomph, Battery life is hitormiss

Abstract: It's easy to call the HTC One M9 the best smartphone HTC has ever built; HTC outdoes itself each and every year, as we have come to expect, and the M9 is better than its predecessor in nearly every way. It's also easy to call the HTC One M9 the most impor...
