Good design is fine, but it seems like HTC's just remade the phone from 2014 as it didn't have anything new to add into the mix. The biggest issue I have with the One M9 is that it doesn't impress me as other models have. I wanted to see an 8MP advance on the One M8, maintaining the strong snapping speed, and instead I got a sensor with the same specs as the one Sony had been pushing for over a year at launch – although it does take some great pics on occasion. The camera is more powerful than I was expecting but I'm still disappointed in the loss of the UltraPixel and duo camera combo.
So why on earth are we not seeing at least 36 hours of battery life where I'm not even getting a day?

That's a reduction in power with no discernible reason either – the full HD screen isn't any different from last year, the battery is bigger and the software presumably stable - especially now that it's on Android Marshmallow. The first is the battery: I would expect strong power management from a 2015 flagship, as shown by most of the One M9's contemporaries, and instead I got something that was a step backwards. Sadly, there's more to criticize in the HTC One M9 than there was in the previous couple of years. It was easily the best on the market at the time, feeling almost hand-crafted with a great aesthetic and great feeling in the hand, and it still feels great even now that the HTC 10 is on the market.Īnd while things like BoomSound, BlinkFeed and Sense haven't necessarily been improved much, they're still really great features that HTC is rightly proud of, showing it's still a market leading brand. The main thing I liked is the design though.
I thought I'd be getting rid of it straight away as I've seen this tried over and over again by other brands, but it's actually useful and surfaces the best stuff at the right time.
