Dude STFU!! Everything I said was based off majority of the reviews like I stated!! Get ur panties out of ur ass and stop acting like a little girl! If your happy with the M9 fine be happy, but don't act like the phone doesn't have its short comings! If u want to be a HTC cheerleader then by all means keep pumping your pom-poms but don't throw a hissy fit just because someone disagrees with your opinion. Cheerleader...

Hey mate :) I am very intrested of buying this f**** beauty :) i saw that not only htc have this snapdragon and they dont have problem with overheat so i'm thinking that there must be something with the drives or code...

I saw also some pictures made with camera and pics are very good for my taste...

I will do the unlocking and rooting like on my current m7 cuz i wanna stay with VenomTeam...

What are your thougts of the m9 compare to m7, you said that phone is great and you love it :) is it worth of money
[One (M9) General] jauhien:
M9 excels M7 in each and every way and aspect at least 4 times..

Quality of phone call, camera, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, exceptional reliability and stability (M7 anyhow is not stable), current Dolby Audio boomsound implementation is 4 times better than Beats in M7, - to wrap it: M7 was a transition model from the old concept to the new and innovative realisation, when M9 is fully rectified, exceptionally polished and pushed to its perfection..
[One (M9) General] peca_slo:
I am positive to get M9 as soon as it gets to my country :) 2 more months of disaster and pain :D
[One (M9) General] jauhien:
Relocate to Dubai it's the center of the World :D
[One (M9) General] peca_slo:
Would do if I could :)
[One (M9) General] Chocolina:
Some more reviews are coming out, and I'm convinced I'll be getting the M9 unless something new and controversial shows up between now and two weeks from now.

I've heard the colors of the screen on the M9 was worse than the M9, and I've heard they were better, this seems to be a subjective thing thats going to have different opinions because of the user's personal thoughts, and not the hardware itself. There have been more complaints about it not having a quadhd display more than actual color saturation. And it's been yet determined if QuadHD would have been a battery hog like the LG G3 or not. Who knows what kind of debates can be had between FullHD and QuadHD.

I've heard that the Boomsound on M9 sounds "tinnier" than the M8, but supposedly thats because the Dolby sound is going for a more dynamic sound than just pure loudness like the M8.

I've heard battery life is better than M7's but worse than M8's

I've heard that benchmark scores no longer can cook an egg, but scores resemble the Nexus 6 and Note 4, instead of what should have been expected from S810. Which to the gamers is a big disappoint when you realize those phones had older SoC and pushed 4x the resolution.

The camera is an upgrade from the M8 but does horrible in low-light. As someone that doesn't like cameras, this is no biggie to me, but the performance can be tweaked in updates.

So basically the M9 is the best HTC One yet, but its not the best phone. What I do hear is that theres already a rumored HTC One M9+ thats 5.2 inches, has a QuadHD screen, larger battery, finger print scanner, and a choice between a Qualcomm or MediaTek SoC based on the region it's sold. Supposedly the price for the M9 is around $650, so thats like $710 after taxes. Ouch. Selling my G3 on Swappa for $400 if anyone is interested in it.

[One (M9) General] geoff5093:
What don't you like about the G3? I have it and it's an excellent phone.

People have always had complaints about the M8. For one, the black bar. Yes I hear all the time it's needed for such and such, but there is no way Apple would take that excuse from the engineers, they need to find a way to minimize it. The speaker grill just looks dated now, the phone is still extremely slippery with no texture, camera still sucks, etc. You cant use the same design for 3 years and expect people to flock to your new phone.

Not sure if you're joking about Xposed not working on Lollipop, as what you typed looks to be funny and in all caps. Xposed is finally available for Lollipop, in case you are not joking. If you are, then it's funny.
[One (M9) General] t4duzan:
Thanks for the positive review. All I've been reading are somewhat negative ones from commenters from technobuffalo and android central. It's good to see an actual user review. I'll be coming from a Samsung S4 (previously HTC Inspire) and am itching to get back on board with HTC and Sense.
[One (M9) General] jauhien:
Be ready for so many positive impressions. The handheld is no doubt GORGEOUS in each and every way!
[One (M9) General] vegetaleb:
The only way to convince me to get an M9 instead of Z3 or Note 4 is that HTC release another OTA with a huge improvement for smudges before May ( the month I will buy my M8 replacement)
[One (M9) General] jbfountain:
Why even bother replacing your M8 if not with an M9?

Sent from Hal's HTC One M9
[One (M9) General] SPreston2001:
He's probably like me and has the upgrade bug lol. I still have my M8 but I was itching for something new. Lots of great phones are coming out so many of us want to get a new toy lol.

Yeah I've been there. Sometimes you have an it itch and have to scratch it.

Hello...

I watched on youtube review M8 vs M9...

I have not noticed a significant difference in performance between the two devices (web browsing, multitasking, gaming), in fact the differences are negligible...

If any of you made a comparison between the two devices, and whether there is any difference at all in the actions (gaming, web browsing, multitasking etc.) ?

I just do not see any significant progress towards older M8 models...

Frankly, from the s810, I expected far better performance and better overall impression of the device m9, but, I guess I had too high expectations...

And I doubt that the HTC solve the overheating problem, and if it is, it will be at the expense of performance...

I just do not see any reason to buy htc M9...

Perhaps we had better wait until next year Will come new series s820.

I'd like to think I'm wrong, but unfortunately, I did not...

If any of you can be refuted these allegations?

- poor performance s810

-overheating

-poor camera

-poor battery

I would I would buy a new cell phone and now I see which of the two, M8 or M9....

Please just let him comment on those who are impartial:D
[One (M9) General] Royyx:
The m9's camera is better after the software update but it's not a big enough difference for me to get me to buy it.
[One (M9) General] USMC retired:
Horrible

I bought the M9, 2 hours later I took it back. I couldn't hear the ringer or notifications, I tried everything to get the volume up and nothing. if you put this phone in your pocket, you wont hear it IMO. The screen is too small, and the m9 plus will only be released in China. What is up with that HTC? releasing a phone with a larger screen only in China? have you lost your mind?

Htc says the M9 is good enough for America, no it isn't. They have complained about sluggish sales and then they release a phone in only one country?? Where's the logic? Give China the POS we have now, and give us the plus.

I'm so disgusted with HTC right now I could scream, and no longer a very loyal customer
[One (M9) General] tommason1968:
I have the note 4 and if you are usedused to htc phones realize that they do not work as well a htc. When I first got it (coming from the M8) I hated it. After rooting it and flashing a custom ROM the phone is much better.
[One (M9) General] SPreston2001:
I can def back up this statement. The Note 4 is nice, but the software is nowhere:near as fluid as HTC's. TouchWiz lags and hiccups constantly and that's even after rooting and flashing a custom ROM. Its not terribly bad, but compared to my M8 its horrible lol. Samsung sucks at optimizing their software!
[One (M9) General] vegetaleb:
Even with a 3rd party launcher?
[One (M9) General] tommason1968:
I didn't spend too much time using 3rd party launchers. For me the experience really improved after I rooted it. Right now I'm running the infinity lollipop Rom that really works well.
[One (M9) General] ystasino:
The S6 will have battery issues with its unnecessary qHD screen and looks ugly. Battery no longer removable

The Nexus 6 is just too big

The M9, has good sound and battery, but looks old and has the terrible black htc bezel and no OIS and

The LG Flex 2 that looks cool, but is suspect to thermal throttling concerns and has a small front camera and no OIS.

:(
[One (M9) General] Dharkan:
We have to see LG G4 and Xperia Z4 first. But I agree with you. QHD on a 5 inch screen is just stupid. M9 is way better than S6. But I have to see the price before I buy it.
[One (M9) General] cables2590:
I don't see what you guys are crying about... Why change something that works so well? Qhd on 5 inch screen is just a battery drainer... I would know I have a LG G3... It's not yet worth it... Everyone that I knew who had a m8 said it would be a perfect phone if it had a better camera and better battery... That's what they did, and hopefully the poor darker pics would be fixed with its software... The best phone camera I had was from the HTC one x.. It even made its speakers better, which was one of the best speakers in the first place... My line up was iPhone 3g (never again!), HTC evo, HTC evo 3d, HTC evo 4g lte, HTC one x, nexus 5, LG G3... The only phone that I think is better out there would be the nexus 6 and that's because it's a nexus... That's just my two sense
[One (M9) General] HolyAngel:
Pretty sure the 20mp camera on the back *does* have OIS.. And the front *is* an UltraPixel camera, hence the %300 more light. Many specs pages say both of these.

Really the only downfall is that it looks the same as the m8 and still has the HTC bar on the front..
[One (M9) General] Dharkan:
Sadly, I really don't think the camera has OIS.

And also I can't help but wonder. They put a HUGE camera module in the back of the phone. Couldn't have they made 8 megapixel Ultrapixel instead of that?
[One (M9) General] cables2590:
I'm glad they got rid of the ultrapixel... Having 8 ultrapixel would be very expensive, and you are right that it does not have OIS... I guess they said they didn't have enough room... I live their design so I'm glad they didn't change it... The only thing I wish they changed by design is the speakers to be more like the nexus 9..that would also slim the bezels... And the bar on front but that's all nit picking...
[One (M9) General] Sisyphus306:
Many techies know picture quality isn't comprised solely of megapixel count, but to Joe-Six-Pack more megapixels is better; therefore, if HTC highlights that in their advertising it may lead to more units being sold and help narrow the gap between HTC and Samsung.

While I'm slightly disappointed that the M9 so closely resembles the M8, it wouldn't even come close to being enough to force me to move to another brand. Frankly, I'm surprised it bothers so many people as much as it does. Two of the largest complaints over the last two iterations of the One have been resolved - the power button has been moved from the top and they ditched the Ultrapixel concept from the main camera. Yeah, the black bar is still present, but maybe the reports of it being necessary to accommodate certain electronics in the phone are accurate. But, again, it's really no big deal.
[One (M9) General] sterz85:
i just can't believe they kept the htc logo at the bottom....

i wasn't expecting significant changes but aside from the camera on the back, the phone looks identical to the m8. i was hoping for them to remove the htc logo and increase the screen by .2-.5"

hopefully they start listening to what customers want and release the m9 plus without the htc logo and with a 5.5" screen
[One (M9) General] HRodMusic:
I wanted the revolutionary design and no logo at the bottom, I guess HTC is completely ok with samsung and Apple having the lead this year.
[One (M9) General] cables2590:
Your right that megapixels don't really matter, but the camera's software does... For example the LG g3 camera works great with stock rom but with the aosp rooms you lose a lot of the picture quality... The better processor 64 bit processor, the better battery, and the camera should be better... The button placement is better... I do like the customized sense...
[One (M9) General] Dharkan:
How can something have the lead for having the same front and back again and again for last 3 galaxy phones just by stealing apple iphone skeleton around its phone?

This is just so stupid, I don't understand why you hate M9 if you can like a phone like galaxy s6.
[One (M9) General] defjef123:
One of the main things I care about is the camera and it's already gotten bad reviews. That will be the only reason I go with the s6 over the m9
[One (M9) General] VR32:
I'm a lucky one, and i have zero to complain about. I'm upgrading to an M9 from a GS3. talk about an upgrade!

that S6 does look to have the camera this year. but I'm more focused on rooting and the speakers.
[One (M9) General] :
I was so freakin excited about the m9... then I saw the black bar at the bottom with the logo and there just wasn't anything "new" about it. I was excited about the s6, then samsung disappointed me by having a small battery for the specs and no non-removable memory.... just frustrations... now I may end up getting the m9.
[One (M9) General] loonix:
Ditto. I think in the coming days we will be seeing a lot of people coming from GS3.
[One (M9) General] dnkeyhnter:
I think the m9 is going to be a beast of a phone. I have an m8 but I don't want to pull the trigger for something that looks exaclty the same. Even if the camera is better and the internals are great. I think it will be a great upgrade from the m7..
[One (M9) General] tommason1968:
I was hoping for a phablet sized phone to replace my laggy ass Note 4. Touch wiz sucks a#@.
[One (M9) General] Reckless187:
I've always had HTC phones since the HTC HD2, (Yup, HTC Fan boy checking in) and persevered with them even with the lower specs of recent flagships when compared to Samsung's Galaxy phones but this time I'm done.

I'm going to stick with the M8. At least get rid of the bloody black bar or add capacitive buttons to it and get rid of the on screen ones for crying out loud!!! Screw you HTC. Might just get the Samsung for the sake of an upgrade, and sell it!
[One (M9) General] cyanogendroid:
Moto is getting my money when I eventually upgrade my M8. Really dissatisfied with what they came up with for the M9. At least the M8 is still a more than capable phone, no need to upgrade right now.
[One (M9) General] HRodMusic:
My opinions are not biased in any way, I love phones they are my hobby.. I should say I love tech in general.. In this case the S6 is bringing a lot more to the table this year.

1. Better Display

2. Better camera

3. Better design --->my own personal opinion

4.OIS

5. More interesting concept with the edge display

I honestly prefer the design of my current M8 over the M9, Then again i have to hold the M9 to actually confirm it.
[One (M9) General] cables2590:
I do think the edge display is more interesting... The QHD display I think is not worth it at all... I have the LG G3 with the QHD display and the display is not much better than my wife's HTC one m8... Especially with the extra battery drain and the hit on the processor... The camera i cannot argue... It seems that the Galaxy camera might be the best in the smartphone world... There is no way the touch wiz is better than sense... That should be a fact lol
[One (M9) General] HRodMusic:
hahah yeah man touchwiz is such a downfall and also the S6 probably has a locked bootloader too =( Im sure gonna miss sense and the boom sound.
[One (M9) General] cables2590:
Yeah dude to be honest I had all mainly htc phones until my past two phones (nexus 5,LG G3) and I truly miss sense... The boom sound is also very appealing and I still think htc design is next to none... I guess not different enough but there still ain't a device out there that looks better...
[One (M9) General] HRodMusic:
The M9 is still a very beautiful phone I just got bored of the design. I'm sure its still a very good phone it has killer specs with that Snapdragon 810 CPU.
[One (M9) General] deeevan:
Given the new Sense 7 feature of custom theming based on a photo... What colours would you get if you tried that on a certain viral dress photo? :lol:
[One (M9) General] shiningarmor:
somehow the camera felt, really.. disappointing. but lets just hope it's the software for now. im gonna wait for a bit and see how the camera goes.

btw do anyone know if they actullay used the rumored toshiba sensor or is it a sony imx sensor?
[One (M9) General] deeevan:
I read that the photo aspect ratio of 10:7 hints at it being a Toshiba sensor?
[One (M9) General] shiningarmor:
hmm, some review site said thatt they're using a sony sensor though
[One (M9) General] Nemeth27:
In the end the biggest fail is that they slapped a 20.7mp camera on and it sucks. Tells you that their processing software sucks!! Hope it changes in the final software version There was a review that even said the M8 room better pictures in daylight.....Ouch!!!
[One (M9) General] shiningarmor:
exactly lol. and they said they focused in the imaging dept more. ..
[One (M9) General] barondebxl:
I think you should build your own phone so you can be satisfied
[One (M9) General] epsix:
I'll wait till July see if Apple releases new iPhone plus.

HTC M9 to me is M8

Samsung bleh

Sony Z4 lock bootloader and easily bricked your phone.

LG same as above.
[One (M9) General] unconfuse:
I'm really bummed out. Maybe I'll take a trip to Puerto Rico for the Ara. I could deal with lower processor in the Saygus with all the other goodies it holds. If they ever ship. Sigh
[One (M9) General] ystasino:
Your sig mentions about $6,000 worth of phones in less than 2 years. Some of us can't do that and want to get a great phone for $700 because we'll keep it for 2-3 years just as we kept our GS3 or DNA. We're pleading for your patience.
[One (M9) General] scotcruz:
Just like last year.. I'm gonna pass HTC One M9 and stick to M7. The bezel at the bottom (black bar) is really annoying and its a shame after so many folk complaining, HTC haven't done anything.
[One (M9) General] akhil8377:
Fully Agree

Fully agree with your views, I will be upgrading from M7 and no better phone then HTC M9 (need not mention I do like HTC personalization and sense)
[One (M9) General] Biggenz:
And with the presentation they said, "We've listened to our customers". Yeah, you might have listened but you didn't act on any of it.

I've been waiting anxiously for the M9 and S6 to be unveiled, only to be very disappointed in them both. Now I've got cash for a new phone and nothing out there worth buying. So looks like I've gotta wait it out.

Some alternatives were

- Nexus 6. But I've already got a 6" Vivo Xplay 3s

- Galaxy Note 4. Great phone but a bit outdated now

- Xiaomi Mi Note Pro. Amazing phone but as with all the other Chinese phones, they don't support LTE Band 20 which is what I'm on

- Nubia Z7 Flagship. Another amazing phone but I already have a Z7 Max and the LTE problem is the same

It such a hard life. :D
[One (M9) General] Scramjet:
I don't know what you guys are getting so jumpy about.

HTC has the 'if it isn't broken, don't fix it' mentality. The design is still second to none out there (yes, even Apple; the iPhone 6 looks like a bad rip-off of the M8). Honestly, you guys are sweating over a stupid black bar for which HTC already has given an explanation for? HTC has also mentioned that the review devices are pre-production, so you guys are jumping to conclusions over the camera. If the photos look terrible, hopefully the reviews will force HTC into spending more time making the camera work better.

Sense 7, Snapdragon 810, 3GB RAM and battery life to rival the competition, and even with a smaller, 2.84 Ah battery, the M9 is a very decent phone. The updates to make Dot View more functional are also very welcome. One of the execs during the reveal event stated that you could now play games on it - no need for Xposed modules anymore.

You guys are either too pampered or expect the phone to exactly fit your expectations. Yes, the design looks similar, so what? It feels great, looks great, and is great.
[One (M9) General] Cindy-Lin:
The design of M9 is really similar with the M8 which made many people disappointed.Hope the next one can surprised us.
[One (M9) General] chazybaz13:
Okay the m9 is the upgrade phone for m7 users not m8 users. It takes the m7 and m8 and combines them. You got the m8 last year, stop bashing the phone and let us m7 users enjoy the phone. I'm sure the m10 will be the upgrade for you. Get off the sub and go to your Samsung sub, no one here will miss you.
[One (M9) General] n3tr0m:
I agree highly with you Sir. Although I got the One X, M7, M8 and I am going to buy the M9 aswell. Whats the issues with it seriously? The design is the same as last year, well, that should be a good thing right? The camera is updated, the screen is still at 1080 which is a good thing, upgraded from 801 to 810, better speakers, better ergonomics ..? This is a nice upgrade to last years model in my eyes. I don't mind the fact they dropped the fingerprint thing either, never used it (tried it with the Note 4 and it is not worth using), I would choose MicroSD slot over fingeprint-sensor everyday (yes, thinking about the S6). Good job HTC! I'm pleased with what you released yesterday, and I'm sure many of us are when we finally get our hands on it in the store.
[One (M9) General] chazybaz13:
Thank you, someone gets it. Sounds like people expected them to throw away a design that won them awards last year and blow people's minds. I'd rather them do what they are doing, listening to consumer complaints and addressing them (m8 camera left a lot to be desired so they fixed it). Took the best from m7 and m8 and refined it nicely. Leaving the screen at 1080p was a smart move to help with battery and clocking the processor down a bit will likely address the overheating issues. People will never be satisfied, but I can say as a m7 user who didn't go with m8, the m9 was exactly what I was looking for. Screw the entitled rest of you
