Good signal reception
The screen is sharp and accurate
Still metal The One M9 still feels like a premium phone with premium materials
Even if some of the small design changes are
To my eyes
Less than great
A respectable 1080p LCD While the M9's screen isn't going to win any awards for bestinasmartphone

HTC made some good changes to the M9
Like getting rid of the gimmicky Duo Camera
Double-tap-to-wake—you can just tap on the screen to wake the device. It's great since you'll never find the power button on the first try
You can disable some of the skin
Excellent speakers
Nifty personalization features
Uh Oh insurance will replace damaged phone
Images appear clear and crisp on the display

Can handle demanding apps

HTC has nailed the design once again with beautiful twotone metal. The Snapdragon 810 is so powerful it's sometimes unnecessary. Sense 7.0 is one of the best Android skins out there. Great selfie camera.

The editors didn't like
Main camera is lackluster
Screen isn't as vivid as last year's model
BoomSound speakers lack some oomph
Battery life is hitormiss
Weak 20-megapixel rear camera
No fingerprint sensor
Sense Home and themes feel like gimmicks
Screen seems a bit dimmer than prior versions
Power button too close to volume keys
A design that is almost identical to the model before it
It doesn't feel like the metal is as premium or durable and the camera is disappointing
Bad camera
Same battery life
Not any faster The M9 doesn't feel appreciably quicker than the phone it replaces
And sometimes can be slower (such as when multitasking). This doesn't speak well of the Snapdragon 810
Which is already under fire for issues
Mediocre camera quality
Unexceptional battery life
Awkward power and volume button placement
User interface a bit stale compared to Google's base Android Lollipop OS
No wireless charging
Quick Charge adapter not included with phone
No biometric sensors
Auto Focus not always accurate
Auto Exposure less accurate in high contrast shooting conditions
Noisy Images in all but bright lighting
Digital Zoom noise
HDR tends to overexpose
No optical IS
No optical zoom
Continuous AF in video capture slow and
The M9 runs hot and performance suffers. Our CPU benchmark showed a 30 percent drop in performance
The design is stale. It's a new phone that doesn't feel new and doesn't solve a lot of the problems we had with the M7 and M8
The size of the phone. This
Sharp edges
Short battery life
Poor viewing angles
Default sound effects are unpleasant
Camera doesn't measure up to those on high-end competitor phones
The M9's camera quality and battery life don't measure up to its competitors. For better or worse
The phone feels like a rerun of last year's HTC One
Incremental improvement
Disappointing cameras
Unreliable camera
Mediocre performance and battery life for a flagship phone
So-so battery life. Competitive
But still-disappointing camera
Display's stayed the same far too long
No water and dust protection
Overheating
Battery and display are not a marked improvement over last year's One M8
20MP camera does not live up to its pixel count
Has a tendency to run a little hot when pushed
The camera just still can't keep up. The One wants to be responsive and aware
But it's just not smart enough to be really useful yet
Looks too much like the One M8 and One M7
Average photo quality
Non removable battery
Video quality not topnotched
Overheats over long use of browsing or gaming
Disappointing camera
Disappointing low light performance with its camera
Focus adjustment with video recording is jumpy
Screen with inaccurate color reproduction
Phone is thicker than before
Sharper edges might displease some users in handling
Camera experience very uneven even in well lit situations despite move to 20.7 megapixels
Low light performance takes a major hit
New sense contextual elements might be
Underwhelming camera
Iterative design with some reused components
Not as comfortable to hold
Use as One M8
Some software features not fully baked
The Rear Camera Could Have Been Better
Could Have Been More Improvement Over M8
Volume Controller Too Close To Power Button
Camera has great features and effects – but photo quality isn't as good as its competitors
Battery life is solid but nothing to write home about
QuickCharge cable is not included in the box
On-screen keyboard keys feel a bit too narrow
Boom Sound spea
Colors are oversaturated in low light
White balance is often inaccurate in both bright light and low light
Loss of sharpness around image corners
Strong quantization on uniform tones and in color gradations
Strong ringing and slight fringing
The rear camera is a huge upgrade on its predecessor
But it falls behind other top end smartphones. Display and battery life

Sehr gute System- und Grafikleistung, Aktuelle Google Android 5.0.2 Lollipop Version, Verbesserte 20 MP Kamera, Nützliche HTC Sense 7 Software Features, Schnelle Funkverbindungen, Hochwertiges Aluminium-Gehäuse
Akku nicht wechselbar, Wärmeentwicklung unter Last, Akkulaufzeit
Das neue HTC One M9 Smartphone hinterlässt nach einem ausführlichen Test gemischte Gefühle in der notebookinfo.de Redaktion. Die Qualität und Verarbeitung des Gehäuses liegt auf einem hohen Niveau und bringt eine gute Mischung aus den Vorteilen des One M...

Wunderschönes AluGehäuse, microSDKartenslot, Gute Software mit Themes, Tolle StereoLautsprecher
Snapdragon 810 kämpft mit Hitze und Drosselung, Akkulaufzeit nur befriedigend, 20 MPKamera enttäuscht
Herausragendes Design, Starke Verarbeitung, Deutlich verbesserte Sense UI
Keine überdurchschnittliche Kamera, Nach wie vor zu lang, Mäßige Akkulaufzeit
Nicole ist wirklich ein HTC-Fan und treuer Nutzer und daher ziemlich enttäuscht, dass das Unternehmen hier kein wirklich großartiges Smartphone anbieten kann. Das One M8 war eines der am besten gestalteten Smartphones im letzten Jahr und darauf baut das O...
Abstract: Ähnlich der bisherigen Apple Philosophie bei den iPhone Modellen 4, 4S, 5, 5S scheint nun auch HTC mit seinen „Update“ vom One M8 auf das neue One M9 zu verfahren. Große Änderungen sind nicht erfolgt. Die beiden wichtigsten finden sich bei der Hauptkamera...
Stehst du jetzt vor dem Kauf eines neuen Smartphones und bist bereit, dafür über 700 Euro auszugeben, dann gibt es eigentlich nur drei Gründe, die für das HTC One M9 sprechen: das Unibody-Gehäuse aus Metall, die guten Stereo-Lautsprecher und der erweiterb...
haptisch verbesserter Aluminium-Unibody, nach wie vor eines der schönsten Android-Smartphones, gute Kamera bei Tageslicht… brillantes Full HD-Display, viel Leistung dank Snapdragon 810, interner Speicher um 128 GB erweiterbar
Akku nicht austauschbar, nahezu kaum Veränderungen, …die bei dunklen Szenen schlechter zurechtkommt als das M8,
Die Änderungen liegen im Detail, HTC hat aber an den richtigen Schrauben gedreht. Das One M9 ist nun deutlich griffiger und sieht dank unterschiedlichen Farbtöne nochmals schicker aus. Es sind Kleinigkeiten, die das Gesamterlebnis dafür deutlich aufwerten...

Abstract: Eine der größten Neuerungen des HTC One M9 ist die höher auflösende Kamera auf der Rückseite des Gerätes. Sie löst nun nicht mehr mit HTCs Ultrapixel-Auflösung, sondern wie beim Sony Xperia Z3 mit 20 Megapixel auf. Auf der Pressekonferenz der HTC Corporat...

Die One-Serie ist optisch kaum zu schlagen, auch das Design des neuen One M9 ist edel und hochwertig. Die neue Farbkombination aus Silber und Gold gibt dem Gerät das gewisse Etwas! Doch Optik ist leider nicht alles: Zwar sind Hard- und Software auf dem ak...
Schickes Design, Hervorragende Verarbeitung, Gute Kamera und Display, Sehr schnell, Schickes Design, Hervorragende Verarbeitung, Gute Kamera und Display, Sehr schnell
CPU-Leistung bricht bei Dauerleistung schnell ein, Teurer als Vorgänger bei ähnlicher Leistung
Einen so zwiespältigen Eindruck wie das HTC One M9 hinterlässt selten ein Topgerät in unseren Tests. Es wirkt schick und edel wie das M8, sieht aber eben auch fast genauso aus - fehlender Mut oder eine selbsbewusste Entscheidung von HTC? Der Prozessor des...
