The HTC One M9 and LG G Flex 2 are the only two Android phones currently on the market running Qualcomm's latest generation Snapdragon 810 processor.

The M9 is undeniably one of the more attractive and premium looking smartphones on the market. The One series has always been relatively tall thanks to the BoomSound speakers, but HTC managed to shave a little from the height, and it's not so different in footprint from the Samsung Galaxy S6, though it is thicker than the S6. I rarely drop phones, but I nearly lost hold of the M8 on several occasions. We could almost paste the same section from last year's HTC One M8 review here-suffice to say that the M9 has the same extremely attractive unibody aluminum casing, updated with a ridge around the edge to make it easier to hold onto. HTC does include a front 3.7MP equivalent Ultrapixel camera on the front for low-light selfie bliss. HTC went with a standard 20MP rear camera rather than the low-resolution Ultrapixel cameras used on the One M7 and M8, though improvements aren't what we'd hoped in the imaging department. The M9 has an IR blaster and AV Remote control, WiFi 802.11ac, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS and 4G LTE. HTC stuck with the same 5" 1920 x 1080 LCD 3 display as the M8, but the colors are tuned a bit cooler (unlike Samsung and LG, HTC doesn't offer color settings to change color saturation or balance).

It has 3 gigs of RAM, 32 gigs of storage and a microSD card slot (take that, Apple and Samsung!).
#Htc one m9 review verizon software
The HTC One M9 runs Android 5 Lollipop with HTC Sense 7 software on the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 octa-core CPU clocked at 2 GHZ. This is very much a slow evolution of HTC's flagship One series, and that hurts in a year when Samsung has done radical and lovely redesign for the Galaxy S6 and Apple switched to a new design for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. In fact it has a little more polish, literally and figuratively, and I'd say it's the best looking One yet, though some might have trouble telling the M8 and M9 apart at first glance. In Chief (twitter: HTC One M9 is every bit as gorgeous as the One M8. What's Not: Rear camera isn't great, battery life just OK, phone design is lovely but after 3 generations isn't it time for a change? What's Hot: Design is still lovely an uniquely HTC, strong performance, HTC Sense 7 is clean and useful. Home > Android Phone Reviews > HTC One M9
