So when the Taiwanese smartphone maker only made little updates to the HTC One M9 from the already great HTC One M8, consumers got dismayed and got turned off. It was no different from what Samsung experienced last year when it launched the Samsung Galaxy S5 featuring only very little improvement from the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Everybody knows that the result did not turn out well for Samsung. Not only did the Korean tech giant lose its grip on the title of the world’s best smartphone maker, it actually experienced three consecutive quarters of falling revenues.
Despite the negative reviews, consumers should note that the HTC One M9 is a smartphone built on precision. Some of its better features, when compared to the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S6, include the 20.7-megapixel rear-facing camera, the powerful BoomSound, and the generous battery capacity.
HTC One M9 has received a number of criticisms particularly for its under-achieving camera and its design which hardly offers any major improvement from the HTC One M8.
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.
