I’m not a huge fan of it, but the other color options (all gold, black, or even pink) look nicer. The M9 you’re most likely to see dons a new two-tone color scheme: it’s silver on the front and back with gold on the sides. HTC says its goal was to blend the best of the M7 from two years ago with last year’s M8 and I’d say the company succeeded.
The main visual differences between the two are the sharper edges of the M9 and the power button, which finally moved from the top of the M8 to the side of the M9. But that’s not a bad thing, the M8 was a great looking phone and the M9 is too. The One M9 has a beautiful design, beautiful finish, feels great in the hand, and doesn’t look like a copy of any other smartphone - except, well, the M8. I’m going to start with the good, because really, there is a lot of good here. In the case of the M9, it’s a bit of everything. I’ve been living in smartphone déjà vu.ĭéjà vu experiences can be great, frustrating, or even surreal. Of those two things, the camera is far more important: the M8’s disappointing camera was the big factor holding it back from being great.įor the past two weeks, I’ve been trying to shake the feeling that I’ve seen this all before, that I’ve acted out this scenario already. The M9 has all of those traits, but it’s also been specifically designed to right the M8’s two major faults: a finish that was too slippery to hold and a camera that took sub-par pictures. The M8 was a great smartphone - it was beautiful and fast and featured inoffensive software, great sound, and a sharp screen.

The M9 is exceptionally similar to its forebear: it’s nearly all aluminum, has a 5-inch, 1080p screen, has really loud speakers above and below that screen, and is unmatched in build quality, craftsmanship, and design in the Android world. It’s the latest flagship from the once-powerful smartphone maker and the successor to last year’s One M8. I’ve spent the better part of the last two weeks with HTC’s new One M9. Déjà vu (noun): a feeling that one has seen or heard something before
