Although the HTC One M9 has tons of great features that make it truly one of the better flagships released this year, its major downside has always been its camera.
In fact, just a few weeks after its release in April this year, the Taiwanese tech giant has promised that it will roll out an update to improve the smartphone’s camera.
While many believe that improving the camera is more of an issue of the hardware, and not software as what HTC wants to make it appear, it actually did part of the trick in the European versions of the smartphone.
The substantial update to the European versions of the HTC One M9, rolled out at the start of June, did bring about many improvements on the flagship smartphone including its camera, reports Android Central.
The update has actually provided better automatic exposure to keep photos in bright environments from getting washed out while improving low light shots by cutting back on noise and blur.
Once the update is fully taken on by the smartphone, a comparison was made on the images of photos taken from an HTC One M9 that acquired the update and a similar handset that did not take on the update. The result of the side-by-side comparisons showed that the HTC One M9 with the update has the better images compared to its counterpart.
Sturdy case for a smartphone
Owning a pricey-looking smartphone like the HTC One M9, users are normally worried of using it in the outdoors for fear or accidentally dropping the handset or in the case of rain or any other watery situation, getting it wet and soaked in water.
The Taiwanese smartphone maker recognizes these major concerns of the users of its current flagship smartphone that is why it has come up with the remarkable HTC Active Pro Case, which would make the HTC One M9 a sturdy handset to withstand the risk that outside elements may pose onto it.
The good thing about the case is that its design looks very impressive so much so that when the HTC One M9 uses it, it seems like the case is just part of its overall body. It is also lightweight and hardly offers any bulk to the HTC One M9 package, thus making the handset really look great.
Slim and very attractive
As quality normally comes with a price, the HTC Active Pro Case is retailed for $79.99 which is relatively fair enough because it provides the HTC One M9 a shock and water resistance feature as much as it is slim and very attractive too.
By using the HTC Pro Active Case, users actually get an IP8X waterproof rating and an IP6X dust protection. It also has a shock proof rating which shall enable the HTC One M9 with the HTC Pro Active Case on it to survive even a two-meter drop.
