Despite such drawbacks, the HTC One M9 still had a lot to offer when it eventually hit all major carriers in the US during the first few weeks of April following its global launch in March at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2015 in Barcelona, Spain.
Right off the bat, the HTC One M9 drew positive feedbacks for its stunning all-aluminum design. Critics, however, were quick to point out that the design was practically a rehash of what HTC One M8 previous featured when it was released last year.
Still, the HTC One M9 still has plenty to differentiate itself and make it a great phone. This amid reports that HTC is rumored to be working on the revamped HTC One A9, which would come soon to end the glorious but short-lived run of its predecessor.
Accordingly, some of the great features of the HTC One M9 which are considered as difference-maker, in as far as other flagship smartphones today are concerned are its perfect screen size, excellent sound, great camera (although some would surely not agree), premium design, micro-SD for expanding storage, good battery life, quick charging, software and themes, and the applicability of the smartphone as a remote control.
I thought the M7 was the “Rock Star” phone. Brilliant piece of hardware fused with cool software. It was so good, I skipped the M8. Just got my M9 and I love it even more than the M7. There is no other phone on the market which comes anywhere near the build quality, it’s like a tank.
It’s kinda sad that consumers are so persuaded by big advertising budgets over basics, like build quality.. The M9 is like a piece of jewelry and built to last. My mates with their Z3’s, S6’s and i-clones have mostly dropped and broke them within a few months.
Phone of glass? Sounds like a Blondie song from the 70’s. If I drop my phone, at least I don’t have a heart attack.
