#HTC ONE M9 REVIEW POCKETNOW ANDROID#

Part of that speedy experience also is thanks to the new version of Sense, the software that HTC layers on top of Android 5.0 Lollipop. Seifert claims that the deviceВ is responsive and quick, without any slowdowns whatsoever. The lens is wide enough to capture most of your crew comeВ GroufieВ time and, as usual, it excels in darker climes like bars and clubs (though you might come out looking a little pink for your liking).ДЄs far as HTCвЂ™s latest Sense 7 overlay goes, Dan Seifert of The Vergesays that it, paired with the powerful internals of the M9, is the best overlay on the market right now. At least the UltraPixel selfie camera still works the way youвЂ™d expect. When the company dropped the news, I think we were all hoping the companyвЂ™s megapixel gamble would pay off in spades. ItвЂ™s such a mixed bag that IвЂ™m honestly surprised HTC gave in to the simplicity of advertising a camera based on its megapixel count at all. Sometimes the M9 has richer, more accurately exposed colors sometimes it doesnвЂ™t. Sometimes the M9 comes through with crisper details other times the M8 seems to do a better job. IвЂ™m not just talking about low-light situations where the UltraPixel camera truly shines, either. HereвЂ™s the rub: YouвЂ™d expect this thing to be uniformly better than the UltraPixel shooter HTCвЂ™s been pushing, but thatвЂ™s just not always the case. In bright, consistent light, the M9 fires off detailed photos with nicely reproduced colors - they can be a little washed out compared to the M8, though, and the cooler screen on the M9 doesnвЂ™t help them look any better. But we strongly suggest waiting until SamsungвЂ™s Galaxy S6 - which boasts a similarly luscious metal and glass design - is available for testing, so we can let you know how these rivals stack up against one another. If youвЂ™re an Android user whoвЂ™s looking for a beautiful, well-built and easy to use phone then the One M9 is worth your consideration. The M9 really does look and feel like an extremely luxurious device. With the M9, HTC hasnвЂ™t done much to change that design and while some will argue that that makes it less exciting, IвЂ™m personally glad HTC hasnвЂ™t made its phone any less stunning. HTCвЂ™s flagship One M8 was one of our favourite phones of last year, thanks chiefly to its gorgeous, metal design.

Hoyle points out that, while the M9 is certainly well-designed and nice to look at, Samsung has caught up this year with its all metal and glass Galaxy S6 flagship. In his review, CNET writer Andrew Hoyle addresses concern that HTC perhaps took a year off in innovating in favor of fine-tuning. The issue HTC faces this year, however, is whether or not it can keep innovating at the same rate. ItвЂ™s no secret that HTC has had its fair share of struggles over the past few years, but since the launch of the One M7 two years ago, the company has slowly been gaining momentum. This evening, reviews for the HTC One M9 have officially started popping up around the web and they give us a much more in-depth look at what the company has to offer as we head into 2015вЂ¦ The device was met with a seemingly вЂmehвЂ™ reaction at the time, with HTC fans complaining that the device was too similar to its predecessor and worrying about the use of the over-heating Snapdragon 810.

HTC revealed its 2015 smartphone flagship, the One M9, at Mobile World Congress earlier this month.
