HTC has nailed the design once again with beautiful twotone metal. The Snapdragon 810 is so powerful it's sometimes unnecessary. Sense 7.0 is one of the best Android skins out there. Great selfie camera.
The rear camera is a huge upgrade on its predecessor, but it falls behind other top end smartphones. Display and battery life, largely unchanged from the M8, are now average for a modern flagship.

What does it take to create a smartphone design classic? For the HTC One M9 , the answer is relentless refinement, improving what worked in its metal-bodied predecessors rather than chasing the latest trends. The smartphone spec arms-race is relentless, h...
Refinement, not revolution. HTC took what was undoubtedly a handsome, capable phone in last year's M8, and thoughtfully polished away the rough edges. Few would have said that the M8 was lacking in build-quality, but the One M9 is prettier; complaints abo...

Nearing the arrival of spring, it's that time of the year when we become all excited and giddy because it's what we like to call the first flagship season. Now that Mobile World Congress 2015 is behind us, where several notable smartphones made their deb...
Still one of the best designed phones, especially premium, Plenty of customizable options with Sense 7.0, Snappy processing performance, Brilliant sounding speakers, Excellent call quality, Expandable storage...
Disappointing low light performance with its camera, Focus adjustment with video recording is jumpy, Screen with inaccurate color reproduction...
One year, that's the typical cycle a company needs in order to make the necessary adjustments in making a new phone better than the previous one. As we take a look at the bigger picture, we certainly can agree that the HTC One M9, as a whole, has been twe...

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...

As an aspiring naval cadet in my senior year of high school, I was placed in charge of my ROTC unit's drill team. It was a well-regarded outfit, but it had used the same choreography for years; no matter how cool a 12-person team looks spinning 16-pound r...
Exceptional hardware design and construction, Outstanding audio quality, Best, most customizable HTC Sense version yet, Smooth performance...
Underwhelming camera, Iterative design with some reused components, Not as comfortable to hold, use as One M8, Some software features not fully baked...
Back to high school for a second. I ended up following my Chief's instructions: we attended the drill competition using a small variation on the same routine we'd trotted out for many years, and it worked out just fine. No one stepped out of formation...

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...

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...

At first sight, HTC's new flagship instilled a feeling of deja vu in us, but we decided to give it a chance and not judge the book by its cover. Well, it turned out to be a pretty mixed bag – the One M9 is certainly an improvement over the One (M8) in ce...

HTC's 2015 flagship was designed to feel more premium than previous models, but it runs the risk of feeling dated two years on. It's sturdy and plenty powerful with its Snapdragon 810 chipset, but the M9's 20-megapixel camera doesn't seem any better than...

For the most part, HTC's story in the recent past has been well-understood. Starting with the G1, HTC was the first to adopt Android, with massive success as others lagged behind. However, around the time of the Sensation, we saw HTC's fortunes peak and b...
Overall, the One M9 is a pretty significant device for HTC and really sets the tone for the entire year, so it's well worth going over everything again before we draw any conclusions about the One M9. However, any of these initial thoughts will be limited...
