The battery in the M9 is slightly larger than last year, and HTC's new flagship comfortably lasts a whole day of use – but don't expect much more unless you switch-on Extreme Power Saving. HTC's signature Boom Sound speakers are also back and have been given a slight bump in volume since last year. It does not match the dizzying number of pixels Samsung crams into its flagship phones, but the One M9's displays is sharp and bright enough to use outside.
#Htc one m9 review india 1080p#
HTC has done little to tweak the M8's stellar five-inch 1080p display – which makes a welcome return this year. This is not helped by the fact that the new sleep/wake button is frustratingly spongey and has a tendency to lie flush with the device when you’re fumbling to lock the One M9. Unfortunately, the button is easily confused with the two identically-sized volume controls above it. HTC has dropped the sleep/wake button from the top of the device to hafl-way down the right side, below the volume controls. This stylish addition is an understated way of differentiating between the M8 and the M9 – although the new edge quickly becomes a magnet for pocket-lint. This is a huge improvement to last year's flagship – which gripped like a wet bar of soap.Īnother subtle tweak to the M8 hardware is the addition of a sharp lip around the edge of the device.

HTC has made the One M9, which is undetectably thicker and shorter than the M8, much less slippery than last year.
