![]() On the connectivity side, we’re completely covered, with the likes of WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, DLNA, WiFi Direct, GPS, NFC, LTE and Glonass. We’ve got a 20.7 megapixel back camera with dual LED flash and a front 4 Ultrapixel shooter. There’s an Adreno 430 GPU on board, 3 GB of LPDDR4 RAM, 32 GB of storage and a microSD card slot that supports up to 128 GB extra storage. Inside the handset there’s an octa core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, with 4 cores of the Cortex A53 kind, clocked at 1.5 GHz and 4 cores of the Cortex A57 kind, clocked at 2 GHz. Moving on to the hardware, HTC One M9 provides a Super LCD 3 display, with a Full HD resolution, just like the predecessor, only this time also offering Gorilla Glass 4 protection. So, the design is pretty much OK, but also massive. There’s still that wasted space below the display, where you could put touch buttons, if you wanted to save space on the screen, but nobody seems to want that. The new edges make the handset seem thinner and overall this design is a premium one and involves minor changes from the M8. It happened to me pretty often that I would press the volume down button instead of the On/Off one, which is a bit of a bummer. Also on the right there are the volume buttons and On/Off button, the latter moved from the top. To the left you can find the nano SIM tray, while on the right there’s microSD card slot, that can be opened up with a special metal key, like the nano SIM tray. At the back there’s the main camera, with a dual LED flash and microphone, as well as plastic antenna cutouts and a sapphire glass protection for the camera.Īt the top we’ve only got the infrared emitter, while at the bottom rests the microUSB port and audio jack. That area supposedly covers some hidden components. At the front we find BoomSound speakers, sensors, the selfie camera, notification LED in the earpiece and the famous useless black bar labeled “HTC”. The One M9 is also pretty solid, so it doesn’t feel like it could break apart if dropped. It’s still a pretty long device, having pretty much the same length as the 5.5 inch LG G3, but it’s less wide. It sits comfortably in the hand and it offers easy one hand usage. The phone does look nice and it’s made of premium materials. The extra layer of metal around hangs on your fingers and increases grip, as we mentioned before. It’s like the phone has a bumper case around it, made of metal. The design feels layered and that extra bezel serves for better grip. Our test unit had a silver back and copper gold sides, in keeping with the two tone approach HTC implemented here. It measures 9.6 mm in thickness, so it’s also 0.2 mm thicker than the HTC One M8. ![]() The smartphone is a bit heavy for a 5 incher, at 157 grams, which is 3 grams lighter than the M8. As far as design goes, HTC One M9 adopts an unibody metal approach, very similar to the one of the M8.
