The phone itself doesn't look especially different from the One M7 of two years ago, and all claims about "timeless design" aside, that does make it feel less special to me.īut, a lot of this is subjective, and I realize that. The all-metal design is still really slippery.

So do the Boomsound speakers, which require small resonance chambers to produce mid-range and bass. The HTC "black bar," while it allegedly has to be there for display controller guts, makes the phone quite tall. And it makes flaws carried over from the original more noticeable. I don't really notice a difference when holding the phone, and it is still quite slippery (HTC's expensive new finishing process also doesn't seem to help, despite what they claim).ĭoes it make the M9 hard to like as an object? Not particularly, but it does make it less likeable than the phone that preceded it, which is always going to amplify the impact of such changes. Frankly, I think they did it because chamfering is more expensive. HTC says they did this because of complaints that the M8 was too slippery, and that the "stepped" effect helps it dig into your hand a little better for maximum grippability. Instead of a chamfered, polished edge, there is a "stepped" break in the metal frame that goes straight up and is cut at a 90-degree angle. The greatest physical change to the phone is, for all intents and purposes, the area where the frame meets the display glass and speaker grilles. The phones are so similar that the M9 is best described by what doesn't make it look like the M8, as opposed to what it looks like independent of its predecessor. The M9 is perfectly quick in most ways, and does not appear to suffer from any of the major performance jank I found on the only other Snapdragon 810 device to date, the G Flex 2. I applaud HTC for not giving into the 2K pressure.

While the M9's screen isn't going to win any awards for best-in-a-smartphone, it's not bad by any means, and still seems like a pretty good 1080p LCD. The One M9 still feels like a premium phone with premium materials, even if some of the small design changes are, to my eyes, less than great. And now I'm left wondering: is there a real reason to buy this thing?

The One is the phone only HTC could build, except then they built it again.

On paper, a new version of Sense should mean a real facelift for the software with exciting new features. A Snapdragon 810 should bring considerable speed gains over the year-old 801 in the M8. On paper, a 20MP camera should finally bring the One M9 in line with its other flagship competitors.

On paper, a bigger battery should mean more time off the charger. With the M9, that's now a real, pertinent question.

At the time, though, many of us wondered: had HTC started to run out of ideas?

HTC ONE M9 NEW EGG NEW UPGRADE

With some significant but generally subtle design tweaks, the excellent Boomsound speakers, a good 1080p LCD, and a quick Snapdragon 801, the M8 wasn't a huge upgrade over the M7, but it had its redeeming qualities. It, too, was very good-looking, and while the Ultrapixel camera was controversial, the phone debuted to very positive reviews. While the Tegra version was lamentable, the Qualcomm-powered variants received generally wide praise. The One X was, and I still think is, a beautiful phone.

Not long after, though, those fortunes began to wane - with the launch of the original One series (One X, S, V), HTC's first attempt to rebrand its smartphone design image began. When the Dream launched in 2009, little did HTC likely know that its fortunes would skyrocket in the few years after, along with its share of the smartphone market. HTC was one of Android's earliest supporters.
