HTC: If it ain't broke, don't fix it Consumer: The camera's broken HTC: I put Scotch tape on it.

[@runnyeggyolk6347]

Hey at least they've proved that megapixels aren't everything

[@ZulqarnainAidil]

Jesus Christ, it's the second coming......

[@twone1635]

I know right that's what I would do

[@ZulqarnainAidil]

Dude....no....The 930 is using Nokia's own Pureview sensor (Who actually manufactures them I don't know). Just because they are the same resolution doesn't mean they're the exact same thing. Its like saying Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are the same people because they're both rich.

[@alexanderlewis189]

Zulqarnain Aidil using scotch tape was their first mistake. Every good engineer knows that duct tape is the way to go.

I laughed so hard when you said they used a Toshiba sensor.

[@itseman2]

but its true...

[@DennisFang1]

***** the nokia lumia 1020 and the 808 used toshiba sensors, so I don't think we should laugh at them :P

[@phillytothemax]

Dennis Fang you say that like people bought those phones?

[@DennisFang1]

Well, not many did, but that's not the point. Toshiba makes some great sensors, so I don't think we should make fun of them

[@DennisFang1]

***** iPhones and galaxies may be faster and have better colours and white balance, but theres so much more to photography than that. I am still amazed that Nokia managed to fit a ⅔" sensor in a phone. I mean, what other phone can get bokeh for portraits?

[@aidanbrumsickle]

Man, the 4K video is great! At 8:00 I can see every individual pixel on the phone display. Your video quality adds a lot to these reviews.

[@billg8185]

Hey Marques. Thanks for all the reviews you do on phones and other electronics, I find yours really covering almost all aspects a consumer needs to know. I am currently shopping for the right cell phone and I have watched numerous of your videos old and new. I'm a penny pincher so I like to do my home work. Was waiting for your review on the newly released phones, so again thanks for your vids. Have a good one

[@DoctaM3]

Been so crazy lately but yet... long day and finally settle in and what do I get, an MKBHD review video... sit back and wow.... nice info. Thanks for the review. I agree, the speakers are pretty sick on the M8.

Hey Phil nice review on the m9

[@user-ur5vn3qd9n]

Zach Heaton I just want to learn as much as I can from Marques. He has so much skill. Makes me feel powerless. lol

[@Hypocrisy.Allergic]

2015 quality of videos was insane from MKBHD

[@theaspiringengineer2511]

Another great and in depth video from one of my favorite channels! Never considered an HTC before this video, but now I might check it out haha.

[@deathdoor]

Just to mention, a tip about the camera. Try to force LOW ISO and -1 or - 2 sharpness, and -1 exposure. The software now is a mess, HTC doesn't seems to know how this sensor work. That config could bring better results, in special in low light.

[@deathdoor]

Just to reinforce, LOW ISO = 200 or less.

[@zachheaton8962]

+Marques brownlee what does ISO stand for

[@rrodrigo42]

Zach Heaton that's just for sensitivity right?

[@itseman2]

[@kelownatechkid]

***** Replying like a baus!

[@herpaderp1470]

As a person who now has the HTC One M9, I could say the the camera is now actually stupendous. I was dealing with the exposure problem as well, but the update now virtually gets rid of all that, along with very crispy looking photos 😊 It's a good phone to use, and I love it!!!

[@HamzaTanveerOfficial]

One of your better in depth review in a while

[@tinale4948]

You're always the first go to phone reviewer I go to.

[@frankmoolah]

The let down cam has been the lowest common denominator, smh. And they didn't learn from last yr

[@itseman2]

They did...kinda.

[@frankmoolah]

***** lol they seem content or they dont care. Their software has always been good and responsive. The parts to make them are quality and not cheap but they stay sh*ttin on the cams they give us, smh. They need to take a page from Samsung or Apple when it comes making a quality cam

[@Altema22]

Yeah, I have to concede that the camera did not work out. I was hoping that it could be fixed in the software, but apparently not. They needed to go with a tried and true sensor, with OIS, and nail the software. The software part they got (imho). I was at a formal dinner a few weeks ago, and a guy was taking pictures of the couples and giving the option of taking a shot with their own phone. I handed him my M8 for the pic of my wife and I, and back at the table I cropped and added some effects which only took a few seconds. Next thing I know everyone at our table had their phone out trying to do the same thing. They even handed me their phones to do it for them, and I had to direct them to the app store. For the M10, they need to put two or three people in charge of just the camera, get the best sensor with OIS that money can buy, and go from there...

[@krazyfrog]

***** lol

[@Altema22]

***** Yes, darn it! Fixed now, thanks.

[@jpunterminse9368]

[@holthuizenoemoet591]

same, the i have had the one x, 7 and 8 and still dislike modern phone design

[@MrBahjatt]

I have an HTC One M8 Eye and HTC One M9+ and frankly, I wouldn't want any other phone, just keep them as they are but update the software (and make the changes in hardware needed). HTC phones today are mediocre at best and lack everything. The HTC 10 wasn't worth getting (although I regret not going for it at the time) but frankly if HTC today came up with the 10 (or even M8 and M9/M9+) with some modifications (USB Type C for example) then they'd really sell well especially if the price was competitive.

[@ishakali8634]

@@MrBahjatt Htc 10 had a good DAC.

[@andusensei]

Bought one brand new in box for $50, unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp, and installed Android 11. The 800 series of processors is pretty great, this thing runs like a decent mid range phone now.

Matt Its because nobody flocks to HTC phones the same way they do for Apple products

[@heroguides9705]

Matt shhhhh they will hear you, o.o

[@BackfallGenius]

Using this phone at work for testing. It's quite damn good. Speakers are unbelievably amazing, it's easily got the best sound of any phone I've ever used. The software's responsive snappiness rivals that of the Nexus itself, and it has never frozen or crashed when I had a lot of multitasking apps open at the same time. Keep in mind: right out of the box, you may not feel like it's built "for you" or works the way you want it to. You have to tinker around in the settings for a few minutes to turn off things that annoy you or activate special gestures that you think you'll use. You don't quite get the "it just works" experience as you do with iOS. You'll have to customize it for what you want it to do, and it grows on you over time. 9.5/10, HTC's best one yet. The camera is definitely an issue, as MKBHD pointed out. It's got some really strange exposure problems which can completely throw off your lighting, but it has managed to take some really good shots too. I'd rate this as one of the best Android phones available right now.

[@SoulGilbert]

I've had the One M9 for a little over a week. And, as my driver, it is better than I have expected. The camera at first, was subpar. The longer you kept the exposure open the better the quality. Since the new update, the camera seems to work better. Though, you are still going to have to tweak it for better results. Thank you, *****​. Your review is what made me consider this device. Have a great day. Peace.

Was a big fan of HTC until my M7 died & I had to deal with their customer service to replace / repair it. Have been without it since the start of this month & the latest I heard yesterday was that they're waiting for parts. Very disappointed with this whole experience to the point that I'm considering getting an iPhone. At least when something goes wrong with it you can just it to the Apple store for a quick fix / replacement.

[@papayafruitch]

ranndino I upgraded from the iPhone 6 to the Galaxy S6 and it was a HUGE upgrade for me. The Galaxy S6 is the best designed and most technologically advanced smartphone in the industry, period. Best camera and best display. I love my Galaxy S6!

I like how u had Moto gp and formula 1 playing on the phones, thumbs up dude

[@shamalchand]

They should have gone Sony at the back :P

[@Asthbendriel]

shamal chand I think the same thing, and I hope Cher Wang will have more common sense at making these decisions than Peter Chou did :(

[@shamalchand]

Juan Carlos Alpízar yup lets hope so...

[@husseinchalla7713]

[@Fajowski50]

Gee, now which company is basically making the same phone every year? When apple does it, everyone grab your torch and pitch forks, but when HTC does it, well that's fine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Bunch of hypocrites.

[@panikk2]

yeah that's mostly every commenter. every actual youtuber that's worth their weight in salt will tell you that hating apple just because it's apple is stupid. they make mistakes here and there, they aren't the most powerful, they don't have the highest numbers in terms of specs. but they are always consistant. iterative changes, sure, but there aren't really too many giant letdowns with any iteration, which that combined with the ease of use makes it worth the premium to many people since they don't have to sift through a dozen android phones that all have a different Achilles heel and possibly shitty support in one form or another (accessories, life span software-wise, warranty). i've owned both, but in the end i totally get why enthusiasts would pick an android phone, and why most people would go with the (mostly) sure thing. it's just to easy to get hit hard in the gut with something like a shitty camera on half of the android phones.

[@Fajowski50]

Nikki DeRaad couldn't agree more

[@MegaUkev]

Couldn't agree with Nigel more

[@fnx333]

Nigel Thornberry A lot of people are actually mad at HTC for taking this route

[@Fajowski50]

fnx333 That's good.

[@semerahpadi4484]

My favorite phone from HTC was my metallic HTC M9+. It had awesome sound effect. Very good when playing games.

[@Tonyk23]

I love your intro to this video, *****.

[@GnarMarv2]

HTC One M8, IT IS!!!!!

[@eganplaysMC]

[@ketam1ne420]

Nice taste in music. Props for being a Madeon fan.

[@surendravishwakarma5654]

hey marques... I've been watching you long time... your videos are truly awesome...I request you to make video about "Net Neutrality"... since I am hearding lot about it and I am little confused about it..

[@ericgs_]

Found one for $75

[@EduardKaresli]

I'll be waiting for Sony Xperia Z4.

[@JohnCorleone23]

Look at the Z4 specs...they are almost IDENTICAL to the M9 except a different camera sensor and a 5.2" screen...the rest is Snapdragon 810, 3 gigs RAM, micro SD slot, 1080 display, 2900mah battery..

[@EduardKaresli]

John Calvacca Time will tell which one is worth the buy, I still have 3-4 months before I decide, which is a very long time in mobile life.

[@bryan7300]

The z4 has an upgraded slightly less heating Snapdragon 810

[@yourstrulybae]

Just wait for the phones with the 820... it looks promising or you can safe money on a stove.

[@EduardKaresli]

Actually, I've bought an Asus ZenFone 2 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage plus 64GB microSD additional storage and I am very happy with it. Asus really did a good job with this one.

[@tinale4948]

I fucks with your videos Brodie. You're easily the best commentator and reviewer. I've watched ALL of your videos

[@CGPacifica]

I have the same exact experience with the M7 camera - always something blown out, always something too dark. I swear it was best when the phone was first released, and then some software updates ruined it. I suppose if I upgrade to the M9, I'll already be "used to it"... though it's really getting hard to want to upgrade since the M7 is still such a good phone two years later. Thanks for the vid!

[@AaronCruz-Guillermo]

I don't know why I watch these videos. I can't afford these phones. :(

[@CoreyStock]

Just don't think about it.

[@7tupac7biggie7]

One day you will be able to afford them.

[@b0nz1official]

Maxx Rodriguez Yeah, but then those phones are outdated long ago!

[@7tupac7biggie7]

b0nz1official​ yes but as my friend Aaron Cruz​ becomes an engineer, he'll one day be able to afford the leading flagship devices. :)

[@b0nz1official]

Then we are in the same boat! :)

[@allotheabove123]

Question, I'm using an iPhone 5C and am due for an upgrade soon. Does anyone have any recommendations for a similar Android phone? I'm looking for something that is around the same size (less than or around 5 inch height) and something with great performance.

[@jman5287]

Moto x 2015

[@raulespinoza8668]

S6

[@DanielLang7]

Moto X or S6 for sure, but I think you'd like the Moto X more

[@ST3ADYxKICKS]

One plus 2 when it comes out

[@jakenader2265]

allotheabove123 i would say wait for the moto x 2015, u have to experience stock android.

[@KxNG_RxME]

I invested so much into this collection of devices. One S (T-Mobile), M8, M9 (wanted the Harmon Kardon edition bad). It satisfied my love for audio. Afterward it was Nexus 6 to LG V20

[@jeremysidabutar769]

I think this is the start of people putting specs on which company makes the camera sensors. 😂 Good Job MKBHD, you've just made history as the first person to do so.
