I don't know. I honestly don't think memory is a big issue on smartphones. I'm even okay with having 32 gb as bare minimum.

I have two reasons to say that;

1. I think watching films or tv series on a phone is silly and painful.

2. I don't listen FLAC or anything like that on my phone, those stuff takes up way too much space on phone and you need more than FLAC to listen to good music, such as expensive headphones etc.

So what I'm trying to say is, smartphones are great multimedia devices but you shouldn't complicate them too much. Get a high capacity usb drive or external hdd if you want more capacity, "real" capacity. Or get a tablet if you want to (or need to) watch things on the go. We use phones a lot but just because they called smart, they can't simply replace anything they have the potential to.

Hi Guys, the HTC One M9 Plus is here, check out the pictures

[One (M9) General] th3:
These tech markets, they're all the same internally within engineering, dictated by their boards.

Rapid Expansion:

Start off fast, major increases every generation, major additional features and resources offered.

Stabilize:

Keep updating and adding some resources but at a reduced rate, increasing segmentation and focus on cost-cutting and branding.

Peaked:

Offer very little gain per generation, slightly updating one or two assets whilst regurgitating older known working designs and adding some new test features. Keeping costs at their minimum, risk at its lowest whilst maximizing profits. Let the marketing bring the money.

We are in between stage 2 and 3 right now with HTC.

I have to say, as a low storage user, even I've ran out of 16GB... 32GB seems minimum with a top spec phone. I even have no vids and music on it, a few pictures and mostly child games for my tot.

Altho I do have 6x 64GB and 4x 128GB cards at my disposal, they don't replace the internal storage space I require.

[One (M9) General] gelo01:
The M8/E8 are not waterproof! When and where did you get that misleading information? Because even HTC doesn't list both of the two to be waterproof, not even on their specsheet. Water resistance on splash, rain, sprinkles, yes, but never waterproof. Actually, no phone until now is considered as waterproof. Even the S5 active and the Z3 have a limit on how deep it can be submerged to water.

Still not convinced? Try submerging your M8 to water (on your sink or in your bathroom) for atleast 5 minutes, then see if it's really waterproof like you are saying. Good luck! And please report back here whatever will happen to your phone. I would really love to here it from you. ;)

[One (M9) General] ahmed_ais:
This is getting awkward. What's up with a lot of people demanding more and more from their smartphones? At one point in my life I wanted to have the best phone out there to brag about it with family and friends but I found myself so childish. At another point I wanted the best phone so I could run every thing and have no limit but later I found this is silly too. I relized that a smartphone is perfectly fine as long as it is capable of doing all the smart things one requires and this vary from one to other.

From what I know, a smartphone needs to have:

Good enough camera but shouln't be like a pro camera because a smartphone needs to be capable of capturing a moment not a scene for a photographer!

A processor that allow it to function without lagging regardless of its speed, cores count, and whether it's 64-bit or not as long as the smartphone works very well.

Enough memory to run all the apps you *need* simultanuously without issues and a little bit more for future proofing.

Space enought for your documents, files, and apps. This space could be expandable as per user needs but initially enough is fine.

Battery that last around 18 hours of moderate use. It's pointless to brag about a phone that you are able to keep the charge for more than a day unless you live in a cave or under the water!

Regarding water, water resistance is a *cool* feature but not mandatory. I never had my phone slip into water and never thought of taking a dive with it (how many do?)

A premium build is a big plus and one major factor of device durability but sometimes good smartphoes doesn't look premium and they last very long.

A perfect display is a must. I think 1080p displays are really enough for a smartphone and I can't see any *need* for any higher resolution. However, the display technology itself and color representation is what really matters!

A perfect sound is a must too which HTC is doing well for this regard and I'm sure they can improve the already good to be better.

Affordable price of course!

In light of all this, I can say M8 is already very good as a smartphone unless you want better camera (with respectto number of pixels since 4UP is crap) you should be better off with a pro camera because other high-end phones may offer more MP which will produce bigger photos but not neccessarely better photos.
[One (M9) General] nags92:
All i would like to see is improvements on the current M8

- Higher Megapixel camera

- Less Bezels, especially at the bottom

- Keep 1080p screen, maybe use AMOLED ?

- Keep same metal design
[One (M9) General] blestsol:
Tbh this sounds legit.

8up camera or more and a higher processor. I'd be happy as hell.
[One (M9) General] Cryosx:
I want them to find a way to combine the advantages of an ultapixel sensor and a regular high megapixel sensor. Other things include overall smaller phone size. Same screen resolution but improvements to the screen if they can. Larger battery. Improvements to the speakers. Just raise the stats on everything they currently have without making the phone bigger than it already is.
[One (M9) General] :
If the screen is any bigger.... No thanks. ?
[One (M9) General] gelo01:
My dream specs for the M9?

- M8's aluminium unibody with some improvement on both physical and aesthetic

- 5.3" 1080p S-LCD3 Sapphire Glass Screen

- Snapdragon S810; Adreno 430; 4GB RAM

- 64GB built-in memory with expandable storage up to 128GB

- atleast 3300 mAh li-poly battery

- 8 to 10 ultrapixel main camera, ditch the duo camera; 4 ultrapixel front camera with dual tone flash

- harman/kardon + BoomSound + Bose audio technology

- Quick charge 3.0 to charge 0-100% of battery in an hour

- IR blaster, fingerprint sensor, same wake gestures like the M8

Golden..

It is a dream alright... its gonna cost you so much, might shatter your dreams :p
[One (M9) General] BenPope:
I think that would require a model of physics that currently doesn't exist. To have UltraPixel and more pixels requires a larger overall sensor, and that requires more depth. Good luck though!
[One (M9) General] G1_enthusiast:
my REALISTIC "dream" of M9

-5"-5.2" IPS screen screen

-Tegra K1 processor or Snapdragon 805

-3000-3200Mah battery

-Harmon kardon as standard with 10% louder speaker

-3gb of ram

-4UP is fine as long as it got some decent glass behind it else just use a samsung 13mp lens

-LG or Sharp aquos like bezel (not a big deal to me)

-better design to treat for heat? maybe a different type of metal?

-DEFINITELY IPX CERTIFIED (HTC need to jump on this considering samsung and sony already jump on it.
[One (M9) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
tegra k1 will never get into a phone since it will produce WAY too much heat, even more then tegra 3...

also they will eventually use bose Speakers ...maybe :D
[One (M9) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Hey ! :) really nice to see you here ! good to see the nearly whole one x community back here :D there are only a few i don't miss, because they are annoying :D
[One (M9) General] gelo01:
All is fine, but how realistic it is to think that Tegra K1 would be in a 5-5.2" phone? Unless you would use it with thermal gloves on or else, you'll gonna toast your hands if HTC decides to still use aluminium on the M9/Hima. Haha!

And still 4 UP?! No.. Just no.
[One (M9) General] jshamlet:
The M8 is already a fine device, so I would only propose a few things:

1) Keep the ultrapixel technology, but up the sensor size to 8MP instead of 4MP. Seriously, I have an older Canon camera with "only" an 8MPixel sensor that kicks the crap out of what most phones can do. A lot of that is the glass, but it doesn't hurt that the sensor is physically larger either.

2) Stop it with the plastic lenses. At this price point, a small, ground glass lens isn't unreasonable. Combined with a decent sensor, it could seriously take on the Lumia in all but the most demanding tasks. While you are at it, bring back hardware IS.

3) Up the battery to 3000mAh or better. Current battery life is solid, but middle of the pack. Yes, I know this will make the phone heavier, but then, I used to carry "bricks" that weighed twice what the M8 does, and I liked it.

4) Switch up to a Snapdragon 805. The current 2GB of RAM is fine, given the constraints on Android apps - which have to theoretically work on devices with as little as 512MB of RAM. However, 3GB or better would be a nice extra. Or, go whole hog, and opt for the 64-bit SOC's and 4GB of RAM. I would pre-order that in a heartbeat.

I personally find the speakers to be fine as they are, the display is gorgeous, and more than adequate as it is, and I've not had any issues with anything else.
[One (M9) General] Dharkan:
What do you think guys? Should I upgrade from M7?
[One (M9) General] ThePhoneGeek:
From an M7 I wouldn't think twice about it because you get a lot more benefit, MicroSD, larger screen, better camera, more ram and storage (probably unless your M7 is a dev ed).

From an M8 the benefit really only is the camera. Sure there is a processor upgrade but you won't really notice the difference.

[One (M9) General] PlatinumNick:
I still would upgrade even if I had an m8 because camera Is a upgrade, processor is an upgrade, and battery is an upgrade. The m8 already had good batter life so putting an extra 240mah in there is going to make it a beast

I think at this point it would be more difficult to pull off a fake like this but hey we'll all know in about 16 1/2 hours...

The hard part is that with all the disinformation out there if they truly release a device based on what the video looks like it is such a huge disappointment that sales will completely suck setting HTC back substantially. The only thing at this point to save them is to release a device that looks like the glass from model that Evleaks had shown with flagship specs.
[One (M9) General] grrrr_unt:
Just as [MENTION=2557864]Slicktune[/MENTION] has said, the "M9" you see in the video is very very likely a decoy unit, which was sent to case manufacturers etc to test their accessories. HTC prob also used this decoy unit to make the general public (us) believe that it's the actual M9, a tactic previously used by samsung. Even made a video of it. But I don't buy it, I'm betting that the one you saw in the video (also the upleaks version) is a decoy unit, and the one leaked by Evan (evleaks) is the one to be released.

My M7 is running smoothly with whatever I want to do with it. I multitask like crazy and it doesn't lag at all. What I expect from M9 is a better camera and longer battery performance.
