The latest HTC smart phone released appears to have hit the mark and gained some fans, with some reviewers giving it a positive verdict.
One such review said, "The HTC One M9 is an improvement over the M8 in many ways. The refined design is gorgeous... it's also incredibly quick, and it's good to see that HTC has staunchly resisted the temptation to drop microSD expansion. That alone should persuade a good section of buyers to get their wallets out." Although it pointed out that the battery life and the camera on the smartphone have room for improvement, which is more of an aesthetic issue rather than a functional one.
Another review said, "In terms of specifications, HTC's One M9 stands toe-to-toe with the likes of Apple's iPhone, Samsung's Galaxy phones, LG's G series, and Sony's Xperia Z phones." However, it lamented the plastic look and feel of the unit.
HTC One M9, also known as HTC M9 and HTC One Hima, hit the market a few days ago and right on-track for its late March 2015 release.
