HTC One M9
HTC has unveiled its new top-of-the-range smartphone, the long-predicted HTC One M9, at the Mobile World Congress. The new device keeps the familiar unibody exterior as its predecessor but has more pronounced edges on its sides and a much less slippery surface finish than on the One M8. The new M9 is an easy to hold device with a single-hand grip.
The M9 comes with an aluminium unibody design with a 5-inch 1080p display (1920 x 1080 pixel resolution) framed at the top and bottom by HTC's trademark BoomSound speakers. The biggest departure seems to be replacement of the M8's 4MP UltraPixel camera with a more traditional 20MP snapper. The HTC camera offers features such as editing, filters, skin correction, etc.
The HTC One M9 is powered by a 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor and comes with 3GB of RAM. It has an internal storage of 32GB which can be further expanded upto 128GB via microSD card.
HTC One M9 comes with a non-removable Li-Polymer 2840 mAh battery. The handset has Bluetooth 4.1 with aptX, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, HTC Connect, for wirelessly streaming media from the phone to compatible multi-room audio system, NFC and Micro-USB. This also supports 4G LTE bands including LTE TDD bands 38, 40, 41. LTE TDD means the phone will support LTE in India as well.
The M9 has the HTC Sense 7, which the company says makes the smartphone highly customisable with themes and more intelligent BlinkFeed (HTC's much mocked version of Flipboard) and so on.
