So
the most awaited smartphone the HTC One M9 has been released today. Now people
can experience another member of the all new HTC One M collection, a phone
which stands at the top of the ‘World’s best phones’. The tempting Design is
one of the best things done by HTC in recent years.
The
HTC One M9 has a really gorgeous screen. It is has a super LCD3 capacitive touchscreen with 16M colors and a 5 inch screen. This ratio stands approximately
68.4% screen to body. The screen is obviously multi touch and is protected by
Corning Gorilla Glass 4 which prevents your phone from any minor scratches. It does not have a QHD display so it may face a risk of being
overlooked. This phone may survive any spill or a bit of rain, but it is surly
not waterproof or dust-proof which is a little excuse by HTC.

The
cameras are great when exposed to less light but in bright conditions they work
against the image and cause them to over expose but the main camera i.e. 20MP
is good to attract people. Moreover, the front camera is only 4MP which seems
to take away the charm of selfies.

Coming to the storage, the phone supports only a 32 GB internal storage expandable
up to 128 GB, so it is not that tempting, as we have seen that apple offers 128GB
internal storage. It works on 64 bit processor. Further the HTC One M9 has category 6 LTE
which would allow the download speed of around 300MBps.
We
were pretty impressed by the battery backup of HTC One M8, but its competitors
like Sony Xperia Z2 had it beat. So this time the phone has at least a battery
life of 2 days.
So here are the detailed specifications of the phone.
