HTC continues to absolutely nail the all-metal smartphone body, and that’s no exception with this new smartphone. Luckily, I can start off this review by talking about one aspect of the HTC One M9 that I love: the design. HTC will need to have pulled out all the stops to deliver a compelling smartphone at the start of 2015. In particular, the past six months have seen better displays, longer battery life, improved cameras, as well as a greater focus on design. However, the competition hasn’t stayed stagnant. Internally, HTC is packing the latest and greatest Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC, which should be a decent performance boost with the added bonus of 64-bit support. The Duo Camera has also been removed, replaced by a 20-megapixel shooter that hopefully addresses the one major issue with the last-gen One.
The biggest one concerns the camera, with HTC deciding to relegate the mediocre Ultrapixel camera, seen on the back of the M8, to the front of the M9. The areas that have been improved are less obvious than in previous updates.

Many of the device’s features will also seem familiar, including the 5.0-inch 1080p Super LCD 3 display, BoomSound speaker array, and heavily-customized Android software. If you confuse the brand new HTC One M9 for last year’s M8, you’re not alone: the metal unibody design of the M9 is remarkably similar to what we saw in the previous generation. The One M9 could be the winner the company needs. One of the coolest products announced in the year so far, the Vive virtual reality headset was developed by HTC in partnership with Valve, and I’m seriously excited for its release towards the end of the year.Īs expected, the company has also launched a refined version of their well-regarded flagship Android smartphone. Nevertheless 2015 is shaping up to be a positive year for HTC. Last year, HTC turned to lifestyle products to drive up their revenue, but the only product released so far, the Re action camera, perhaps wasn’t as good as they were hoping. Executives have departed amid weak financials, and outside of their flagship offerings, the company has struggled to sell their smartphones up against strong Asian competition. The past few years have been difficult for HTC.
