You get the much-ballyhooed Snapdragon 810 processor (quad-core 1.5GHz Cortex-A53 and quad-core 2GHz Cortex-A57), 3GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable storage (up to 128GB), a 2840mAh battery and the same 5-inch 1080p screen (441 ppi) from last year. While it doesn't look much different aesthetically compared to its predecessors, the M9 does pack in some major spec upgrades. It ultimately adds to a more reliable single-handed experience, and beats having the power button up top. Not an issue for me, but an issue for him. But Jon felt it was placed a little too low, and because it's in such proximity to the volume buttons, mis-presses were common. In my time with the phone, I thought the placement was just fine, and I liked the added texture to the button.
But I still don't see (or hear?) enough of a value to crave BoomSound speakers.Īdding to the ergonomics, however, is the placement of the power button on the side. Yes, they sound very crisp, and very loud, and the addition of Dolby Audio gives them some extra oomph. I don't have much to add about the BoomSound speakers that hasn't already been said. Most of that extra real estate is taken up by a bottom bezel stamped with an HTC logo (yes, it's still there), along with BoomSound speakers that flank both the top and bottom. For me, the footprint is just about perfect - at just the right size to easily use with one hand without seeming unwieldy. It's just 5.96-inches tall - the screen itself is 5 inches - which is fairly small by today's standards. However, the contoured back and overall size make the M9 a very comfortable phone to hold. I will say that it's a tad heavy at 157g, and it certainly isn't the thinnest phone out there. It's a marvelous design, to be sure, and still among the best there is. HTC says the manufacturing process requires over 70 steps and 300 minutes per device, and that thorough craftsmanship shows at every angle. It glints and sparkles with an assured shine, like a meticulously crafted piece of fine jewelry. We got the silver on gold version, and the two distinct hues make it look even more luxurious and elegant than it did before. Made of a lovely brushed aluminum, the M9 ups the ante with a dual-tone, scratch-resistant finish that's an absolute delight to look at, and, more importantly, to hold.

But now we're in the superphone age.įor two years, the HTC One has arguably been the best-looking Android phone on the market, the epitome of beauty and grace. The M7 was a terrific device, and the M8 was slightly better.
But HTC seems to have found itself stuck in a time loop, at that stage where it's still in the middle of its self-improvement process. I'm sure you've heard the adage by now, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." There's nothing inherently wrong with the M9. But, for the most part, the company's M7 and M8 handsets are both eerily similar to the M9.

Software has evolved, and there's been a great debate over megapixels. For the past three years, the device has remained virtually unchanged, with only minor differences introduced along the way. That's what I feel like HTC is going through with its One flagship, in a kind of Groundhog Day limbo. But in time, and after some truly appalling hedonism, Collins begins to re-evaluate his priorities, and finally starts on his journey toward self-improvement. In 1993's Groundhog Day, weatherman Phil Connors finds himself stuck in an endless time loop, living the same terrible day over and over.
