Lol so true

[@xFreshKicks08]

Well said

[@garthstomer]

completely agree

[@ventroid4473]

Even comments about Michael Fisher get lots of likes. That's how good he is.

[@XxManzanitaPR]

You have something to your reviews that put themselves almost above all the others. Completely unbiased, straight to the point, and even as professional as you try to be with the reviews, they always have soul. Keep it up M!

[@jevonbutler9867]

The only buzz this phone had was when it reached 130 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm using one right now to warm my house.

[@gaspersavle161]

Jevon Butler Im using an amd gpu

[@cuddles6938]

+Jevon Butler Dude, I just date larger women to keep me warm. Curves are so good.

[@monsterdonutkid]

It could double as a flat iron too. And occasional frying pan.

[@repeatrepeatrepeat]

+Jevon Butler blame qualcomm and their big.LITTLE bullshit. Ruined all flagships of 2015. F YOU QUALCOMM

[@cuddles6938]

blueman24 The new Snapdragon 820 has been benchmarked the same as the new Exynos coming on the Galaxy S7. Supposedly the S7 will look the same as the S6 just using a different processor.

[@austinn.4389]

M9 = BEAUTIFUL.... A9 = absolutely hidious design, I really hate the look of the A9 but the M9 is GORGEOUS!!!

[@jakey20022]

love the m9. with the s6 G4 and M9 all being the same price on Verizon Wireless. I would take the M9.

[@metropolisatlantas]

It's like they gave the gorgeous iPhone 6 to a 5 year old to reproduce it

[@22stunt45]

RIP HTC

[@robg915]

I wouldn't go that far.

[@SadGoldenPuppy]

nope. the a9 is a better looking device

[@ForTrav516]

As an m9 owner, it's nice to see compliments for the phone. During it's initial launch, everyone was repeatedly bashing the phone. I bought the m9 coming from the m8, which I loved. After experiencing the m8 (and having friends experience the LG G3 and GS5) I wanted nothing more than an m9. I stand by my choice of purchasing the m9, however I may upgrade to a nexus 6p soon. Maybe even the A9, as I am in love with Sense.

[@xxNickxx23xx]

+Travis Rowland I feel the same. Love my M9

[@cuddles6938]

+Travis Rowland If you can live with the Snapdragon 617 which is good for multitasking but not as great as the Snapdragon 410 for gaming, yeah the Sense from Creative Labs in Seattle who actually wrote it is nice. I forget, isn't the M9 the phone you could add a theme for every home screen? I remember a video a few months ago where you could make every home screen have it's own theme, not sure if it was the M9 or another model.

[@ForTrav516]

TekReview's I haven't found anything on themes for every home screen. The 810 is a nice processor, and I'm actually a bit afraid of jumping to the 617. I'll probably have to try each phone (A9 and 6P) in house before I make any final decisions.

[@cuddles6938]

Travis Rowland If you can wait they are coming out with the A9X model in February which will probably have the newest Snapdragon 820 Processor which is supposed to score as good as the newest Exynos chip that Samsung is using for the S7.

[@brandenongkp]

One of the key reason to hold on to my m8 is my love for sense. I tried to convince myself to buy s6 but too much love for htc sense. So comfortable to use.

[@dylanheyl]

I have been using the m9 since launch, and as a long time nexus user and mobile sales employee I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of the m9. I will never again buy a phone that does not have dual front firing speakers. Boomsound is simply amazing, and a extremely underrated feature. After using stock adroid for 4 years HTC sense was a very nice change. I would recommend the phone to anyone, unless they REALLY want a GREAT camera. We put so much emphasis on camera even though 90% of us do not use it for anything more than Instagram and Snapchat. It is like telling someone "you need to get a Macbook pro for all the Facebook, KZbin and Google searches you do."

[@bignix23]

I have had my m9 for years now. It's taken drops like a champ, still runs fast for it's age, and still has the same battery life since day one. It is small, and you have to clean the speakers out from time to time, but it's a great phone. I love my M9 and even though it's not my primary phone anymore, it'll stay my backup if I need it as I know it'll probably always work

[@theunisjansenvanrensburg5835]

This is maybe only the third comment I've delivered a comment on your channel, unfortunately I'm not the perfect KZbin consumer. But I need to say this: Micheal, and overall, Pocketnow, I appreciate the hell out of you. I've watched (basically) every video you've ever delivered over the last 2 years and after such an amount of time the inevitable thing happens - you take things for granted. What I want to tell you is that I don't take you for granted. So don't dishearten if I don't always comment, be assured that I always watch.

[@Shelgo]

I remember when we were all speculating about the design of the M9 and then we got this...

[@xFreshKicks08]

All I ask for from htc is the phone leaked by evleaks which was rendered by "phonedesigner"

[@TarikJasim]

now that was a beautifully crafted phone for real.

[@TheTopTechnology]

+xFreshKicks08 link pls

[@danielm5633]

+Tarik Jasim "crafted"? don't you mean drawn?

[@nikbinaz]

You got it, it's called HTC 10!

[@jthorne19]

Glad you're back doing this Michael. Jamie can't do it like you!

[@abhishekagarwal787]

I bought the HTC ONE M7. It's still one of my favorite phones ever. And this video just gave me nostalgia for the days when I used to have it. If HTC figures out a better camera (i.e. Adopt a Sony Sensor), a better battery, get rid of the HTC BEZEL, and the ultra sharp corners, HTC WILL AGAIN BE THE BEST PHONE IN THE MARKET!

[@TroyVanSleet]

I just got my HTC One M9 last week. Unlocked off eBay($295). So far I love it coming from the LG Nexus 5. the battery is much better than I expected and the camera is decent enough. I really like the expandable memory to store my music, and it is gorgeous. Nice "After the Buzz" piece Mike. Keep up the great vocabulary.

[@dubnationbestnation510]

I'm sorry to hear that

[@pakigangsta5]

should I pick it up for $165 on eBay?

[@techzonetzuk]

i love this series ! its such a good way of looking at devices that are not in the media lime light any more !

[@jdreviews5]

I've had my m9 for about 2 months and I can say that it has been a joy to use. No overheating or anything like that. The only things that I would like differently would be a better camera, and much better battery life. If you're a light user and don't take a lot of pictures, this is a really really great phone.

[@L3gacy-Ange1]

finally someone who talks about the good sides and bad sides instead if trash talking. Thank you my friend and I've had my m9 since October and I agree with camera and battery life

[@MrSilver8000]

+Jake Milner I'm an M9 user as well. The phone is nowhere near as bad as people make out. It's just fashionable to hate on the M9.

[@AaronAguirre559]

I love the After the Buzz series. Post spectacle reviews are something definitely lacking in the mobile tech industry.

[@akshatjagga]

This is one of Pocketnow's best series...

[@bluej1n333]

I LOVE MY M9 DUDE this m9 has been my baby since may this year. I love it. its dropped on cement floor, it fell off my desk several times, but still perfect (some scratches tho). the camera isn't that bad I actually really like it and some of my relatives are blown away by the quality at times (obv bc they're not comparing it to other phones). the display is bright and sharp, the speakers are just awesome, the build is the main reason I love it so much, I have uhoh protection so no need to pay for insurance, SD card expansion, never overheats anymore. it was definitely worth it. looking back when I was about to get the s6 edge, I'm proud of myself. I just couldn't handle touch whiz. Looking forward to the m10

[@garyhenderson5689]

I got this phone about two months and I have not regretted it. The speakers are amazing, the screen looks great, in never lags, and the battery life constantly gets me through the day. The camera isn't as bad as you would think, but it still works fine for me. If you are looking at it, I'd easily recommend it .

[@nigmosh65]

+Gary Henderson GS6>One M9.

[@garyhenderson5689]

Rat Face​ For most people sure, but, personally, having Sense over Touchwiz really makes the M9 better for me along with the speakers that thoroughly trump those of the S6. And, while the S6's camera is great, M9's camera is still serviceable me and probably most (and if I was looking for the best camera, I'd get the V10).

[@nigmosh65]

Gary Henderson Google Now or Nova Launcher.

[@garyhenderson5689]

Rat Face​ I use Action Launcher 3, but of those I probably would use Google Now (I haven't really used Nova).

[@nigmosh65]

Gary Henderson oh.

[@andusensei]

Watching this on my M9. .. Unfortunately.

[@Shelgo]

Are you gonna keep it for 2016 or get a new device? If so, which one?

[@dxnnxxmc]

Same, fortunately

[@andusensei]

+Shelgo Just purchased a 6P and waiting for it to come in. After having the M7, M8, and M9, I'm just so tired of HTC devices and their lack to innovate.

[@stryker6600]

+Andy E. I'm watching on the m9 too, but it was my first HTC phone. I wish I had stuck with my S5 Active and just waited until the new Nexus phones. I feel your pain

[@marcusyarema7564]

hey the m9 is still a killer phone

[@alexsantana1573]

I fucking LOVE HTC. My one m7 was my favorite and my most faithful phone ever... but the m9 was a joke. I have an s6 edge but I hope to switch back to HTC when they wake up.

[@robg915]

Sold my S6 edge and got the A9 for $399 and couldn't be happier, the only thing I miss about the S6 is the camera.

[@alexsantana1573]

+Robert Dominguez I would miss the display, camera and functionality of s6. That's where HTC needs improving.

[@robg915]

+alex santana I agree with you on the display as well. I'm hoping the next flagship can finally get everything right.

[@hmjs13]

same story here. hopefully they will.

[@jdhoo222]

I wonder if they're gonna name the next flagship after the M9,, the HTC One MX

[@SkyDragonTeamStefan]

One M8 > One M9 ...

[@sayeemashrafi2335]

+Leonardo Nuñez haters be hatin,don't listen to the troll

[@nachik09]

+Leonardo Nuñez The M8 does look better

[@sayeemashrafi2335]

+Nachiketa Ramesh that's subjective

[@grvz]

Agree Completely...

[@nachik09]

sayeem ashrafi Actually, symmetry is something that is widely important in how the majority percieve beauty. The M8 is more symmetrical. Therefore, i daresay a majority would agree.

[@xxNickxx23xx]

About time they did this. I've been waiting.

[@AkashGupta24]

I totally love this after the buzz series. Keep up the good work guys.

[@ripzy1234]

Love the after the buzz episodes glad this takes the 50th spot

[@jessiewhiley1490]

Whenever I hear someone besides Michael utter "So let's do something about it," I begin feeling cold inside.

[@StevenGoh007]

What about after the buzz for LG G Flex 2? What happen to the self healing back cover? The phone still curve nicely? Still got performance issue?

[@abdulln1439]

Sense 7 alone is more than enough to make any one buy this smart phone, no other android skin can compete with it. as an owner of the M9 for about 7 months, I would recommend it for any one who wants the perfect smartphone, If they don't care that much about the camera, it is the only weakness the M9 has, not bad, but not good enough to rival the competition. Still performs as good as day one, the heat issue has improved a lot with the updates, so far no lags or slowness.

[@KautiousNupe]

These after the buzz videos are fawkin awesome!

[@victoriousgangster]

the m10 needs ultra specs. 1. 25 ultra pixel camera with Nikon DSLR sensors. 5 ultra pixel for the front with front flash. 2. ultra boom sound with slide out speaker that doesn't bulkify the phone but gives insane sound and much louder. 4. latest Snapdragon 8 core 5. 4K oled screen all around 6. 4000mah or more battery to compensate the 4K 7. sense 8 with more features. 8 edge to edge screen 9 and ultra microphone to get best recordings.

[@amirmohamed9252]

+The Guitarist and when any one review it ..saying bad too :D nad galaxy better hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@dangoruiz3259]

I don't get why this phone got the hate that it did. It has great speakers, it can drive more headphones loudly than other phones, it's UI is better than Samsungs, and most pictures taken nowadays are just uploaded to instagram or twitter. Serious photo people have dedicated cameras. I do wonder if it would have sold better had the starting price been $549 tho? Love the "After The Buzz" series BTW. It's one of the reasons I stay subscribed!

[@ashwinraphael]

Michael fisher is the best , this episode was awesome

[@HLS436]

Bought M9, installed all the updates, wiped cache, preformed factory reset. Heating and battery problem solved. Its a beautiful phone.

[@maxsilbert]

Does the aspect ratio on the photos matter when comparing the camera quality? Because it looked like the 6p shots were 4 by 3 and the m9 ones were 16 by 9. Therefore the 6p shots had a higher resolution, right?

[@Ros3bud83]

I've had mine since launch, love the design&software , camera fell short but thanks to Raw Mode & Updates I can get some great shots from it. Great follow up Pocketnow, keen follower. keep up the good work.

[@MG-yu6do]

watching on a one m7 :) still love it

[@pepperz1686]

I buyed this phone for a reason. It's the most beautiful handset out there (In my opinion) If you look at a gray one. And everything it might miss is excused by those damn satisfying speakers.

[@TCPH]

Love my m9 except the camera and battery after heavy usage. So many great features on this phone that many people aren't even aware of.

[@RemyOrtiz]

+Pocketnow I've had the HTC One M9 since it was released on T-Mobile earlier this year and it's such a welcome upgrade to the M8, in the long term. With the latest updates to some of the apps I run, plus HTC's own, it's been a wonderful experience. My favorite feature, still, are the Boomsound speakers and nothing out there beats them. I've had +HTC devices for quite a long time and I'm itching to see what the M10 will bring.

[@C-Mack33]

I think it's funny how we all turned on HTC. We say we liked the M7, so the M8 was very similar. A lot of people, myself included, loved the M8. Even a lot of reviewers, MBKHD for example, said the M8 was one of the top phones of the year. The camera sucks.. but the rest was great! When the M9 comes out we all trash on it and say they didn't change anything. Yeah but you loved that design a year ago. If they had radicallly changed things we would then complain it was too difficult. I'm not saying the M9 is a great phone or anything. I just think we were too harsh on it. I was a longtime HTC user with the Incredible 2, Droid DNA, and then M8, but I just had to jump ship from the company and go with the Moto X Pure.

[@MontJoe]

could you please tell me/us the music you use? it's some of my favorite.

[@tswfootball]

Great video Michael. Damn it I really hope htc comes up with something great with the m10. They do so many things right with their software and hardware design that many other android manufacturers don't. I just hope they can finally deliver with a great camera

[@SpardasTechReviews]

had the one m9 for like a couple weeks. bought it off eBay for like 250 was intact with no dents(other than scratches by the USB port, but that's a given) and I loved it. At the time before I went to the s6 and then the v10 I had the g4 and sure there were differences in camera quality, but that's not what made me enjoy the phone. I enjoyed it for the performance, and as cliche as it sounds now the boomsound speakers, and I enjoyed it thoroughly before giving it to my friend because he needed a phone. if I wasn't getting everyone else Christmas presents and planning to fix up and put a hold back plate on my g2 I would get another one, let's hope HTC does wonders with the m10.

[@Lodreus]

Nice to see channel reviving phones that we hear not much from.

[@EricHouserecho1284]

the M9 is perfect, it only fails in the eyes of those that compare it. I love mine and couldn't see myself carrying anything else. I've contemplated purchasing another for the future for backup.

[@Kyubi2345]

I hope you guys make a Video on the LG G Flex 2. It'd be nice to see what you think of the phone now that it's been updated.

[@thecarboy95]

Will you guys be doing a G Flex 2 After the Buzz? It's price has come down significantly and reports show the 5.1.1 update has fixed many of the lagging issues. It could be a deal to get it now.

[@ruben79nyc]

I'm still using my One M8 and am happy. I don't think the M9 is terrible but I understand where HTC could've done better. I'm really looking forward to the M10 and if anyone from HTC is listening, please consider how much you can get consumers interested in lowering the price of some devices and not just for temporary deals. The A9 could've really shaken things up I feel if it were aggressively priced to compete with others. Just my opinion.

[@dillabong]

Watching this on my M9. It's a shame really, because I truly do love this phone. The design, even after having it for almost 7 months, still raises a lot of eyebrows among students at my school, and shows no signs of wear. The speakers are fantastic, Sense is a joy to use thanks mostly to Blinkfeed, and the camera really isn't nearly as bad as it's hyped up to be in my opinion, especially if you're shooting in RAW (oh yeah, you can shoot in RAW). It's a great, if slightly underwhelming, phone. What's great about this though is that HTC has (hopefully) learned from the M9, and the M10, or whatever their next flagship is, will probably be awesome.

[@GOPACKERSJT]

Had M7 for two years (only phone I've ever had for two years) and then got a OnePlus waiting for this disappointment. It wasn't bad, but wasn't worth $600. I hated my OnePlus One with it's buggy software, so I just got my red A9 two days ago. Solid phone, and don't even notice the mid-range cpu. I didn't charge it overnight, and it's now 24 hours later sitting at 53%. HTC nailed it with the A9, believe it or not...

[@hazaparugeorge6044]

can you tell me what icon pack do you have?

[@cadiper3265]

still running with the M8 since release and love it! Cant wait for the Marshmellow-update to

[@Ricardo-vk9zw]

I have really big expectations for HTCs next flagship I hope they did learn their lesson this time and start making revolutionary smartphones again!

[@jakey20022]

HTC =great software and build quality and fast updates.

[@rferrel1215]

To all those people that are commenting that HTC copy Apple, not true at all. The One M7 was the first with this design and then the One M8 got the metal design and the lines that separates from other phones. The One M9 it got's the M7 and the M8 in the design, which to me was very similar to the M8. I have the M9, and I like it. The sound is amazing and the phone feels very good in the hand.

[@JuanHuitztech]

It's sad when OEMs feel so secure, that they don't even try to take the least bit of risk. HTC delivered one of the best phones of 2014 with the M8 and decided not to change much for the M9. I appreciate it, when OEMs try to break the mold and do something original. You can check out my channel, because on the next days I am going to upload a video praising the effort some companies took into making new designs and usability

[@melihcarter]

well I have been using M9 since september, and I can say that we had ups and downs but at the end of the day, I am happy to own this phone, it is HTC unique, the user interface is one of the best if not the best, although admittedly I downloaded google now launcher cause I just couldn't stand square folders of sense, it gets warm when I play games for a couple of hours but it cools down very quickly, camera is very satisfactory in my opinion, I generally take shots at bright daylight and the results are amazing, front facing camera is really nice, rarely stutters, but overall I can recommend this phone to anyone, if you can find around 500 dollars or less, so yeah that's one short review from me

[@abaldopayardu2660]

HTC please bring back HTC M8 with M9 metal finish, Remove HTC black bar at the button, A better camera with OIS, a better chip and competitive price. HTC M design is legendary.

[@dwauzzi1362]

I've had an M9 since June and to be honest its pretty good, its really good for everyday use and games, The speakers are killer and the camera not being as good as other phones doesn't bother me at all since i don't take that many pictures on my phone anyway.

[@dxnnxxmc]

I actually love my M9 and when it gets Marshmallow it'll be even better. But having come from an M8,I find myself wanting more.

[@lukasgromann1366]

Whats the name of the theme in 02:00

[@Eric-bj8yk]

I still love this phone. It's been my first android phone and it was good enough to make me want to stick with android when I upgrade.

[@PhiveWalls]

Do you think the Snapdragon 617 in the A9 is more efficient than the 810?

[@mikebird5148]

I love my M9, from the speakers to the speediness of sense to the awesome build quality, and the size, 5inch is my preferred dimension, but after using other phones like the G4, the S6 and the G Flex 2, I'll take the M9 all day because of the speed, LG & Samsung's UI's seem to always have hiccups here and there

[@sayeemashrafi2335]

+pocketnow bought the m9 in may..so far it's aged pretty well,the only gripe im having with it is the camera.anyways had the misfortune of experiencing lag on my friend's note 5 which made me realize how content I'm with sense7 lol..not planning on upgrading until next year

[@hkhudadad]

micheal fisher can make the crappiest phones interesting

[@austinuren311]

I had an HTC one M8, and I was so excited because at the time, it was absolutely the best phone when it came out, when it's competition was Touchwiz on the lackluster Galaxy S5. My favorite part about the phone was the "HTC software update 90 day guarantee"... Which was pretty much flushed down the toilet as soon as the one M9 came out. And that was the downfall of my HTC as the phone started deteriorating from there; increasingly worse battery life, insane amounts of lag even after rebooting device, and then the speakers just fizzled out. And the camera... Cool at first, and then just disappointing. The software was also inconsistent, with Sense 7 being the new eye catching feature, until they delayed it and I was still waiting for the update. So for my birthday last month, I made the switch to iPhone 6s, and I gotta say I love it. And this is coming from an android user for years now, the software experience is very polished, the camera is amazing, and force touch is awesome!

[@Robotkiller14]

Recently got the M8 because it was cheap on Ebay and so far I'm loving it. I wanted the M9 but I didn't really see the difference between the two. Can't wait to see what they come up with for the M10 (would be cool imo if they called it the MX)

[@daviandurrant2976]

where does he get those wallpapers from

[@Dwilsonmusic145]

I have had the htc one M9 since the day it came out. I pre ordered the phone. I came from a galaxy S4 before and this was a definite step up and has been good and stable but the camera needs help especially in low light. The battery could be better but it's mainly the standby time that kills it and marshmallow will come to the rescue with that issue but I am ready to switch and find something else that will be just as stable with an even better camera. One issue that I have with mine is that the WiFi always has a mode set to switch to mobile data if WiFi is unstable and no matter how many times I disable it the setting always comes back on. And my speakers don't seem so great I think mine are defective because a friend has the latest motorola moto x and it is not only louder but sounds better. Overall I don't regret the purchase I had so many issues with my s4 back in the day. The M9 has been dead reliable since day 1.

[@TheSober619]

love my m9 an all in how its still running like butter with in the months since it was bought at launch day....but regret is a factor when the nexus 6p came out....

[@cheeseburgermacpac607]

Air gestures to wake up the phone is better than any knocking code/function.

[@cuddles6938]

+Manuel Fontanilla Air Gestures are not that secure. 950 uses Iris Scanning which works just as good as air gestures and more secure even though you have to be looking at the phone with your eyes.

[@cheeseburgermacpac607]

+TekReview's I like your viewpoint. 😸😸😸

[@cheeseburgermacpac607]

+TekReview's I don't use air gestures for security. The Samsung fingerprint scanner is good enough. I like the idea of air gestures that can interact with the smartphone. An iris scanner would be cool to have. Unfortunately the Lumia 950 is not available in New Zealand. 🤖

[@cuddles6938]

Manuel Fontanilla We can only get it here in the USA on ATT, Verizon customers can't use it because of the Verizon lock they have on only buying their phones. Juan Bagnell said the 950 photos were not really like real life he is liking the LG V10 more.

[@cheeseburgermacpac607]

TekReview's We don't have the LG V10 in New Zealand either. 😧😦😥

[@voldyriddle3337]

That Michael Fisher entry tho...!

[@jaipatel5613]

A OnePlus One 'After The Buzz' would be nice.

[@MHatim-ik1bu]

Will u do the sgs6 after yhe buzz?

[@brokenbandit9018]

Bought an m8 and just recently upgraded to a nexus 6P. I can say it was worth it because the 6P is in my opinion the perfect smartphone, but I still love my m8 and will pop my sim in from time to time to see how it does with marshmallow update.

[@TheYoshi124]

I have a m9 and it rarely gets hot after the newest 5.1 update.

[@TwoCraZyEyes0]

i was an HTC fanboy every since i saw the m7 and im sooo pumped for the m10, if HTC doesn't deliver, im done with em

[@kurohikes5857]

I have the M9 and the A9 and the A9 is a clear upgrade. I also have the Nexus P but I use it for media only.

[@jasminkrnjic2359]

I have the M9 for 4 months and it was the best phone I ever had. And i have more than 30 mobilephones expirience. Only the battery life is bad. But all other is very impresiv.

[@amirmohamed9252]

+Jasmin Krnjic can battery life continue one day ? please answer and tell me the camera good or bad because i want get this phone

[@jmoon2454]

it's funny this video was uploaded today. I've been having problems with my M8, so after the fourth time of taking my M8 to the repair service at sprint, they just gave me the M9. One thing, is that I've been checking the update for the camera, and no luck yet.

[@dynastes4938]

I really hope HTC will sort out its shortcomings with the M9's successor. I'd love to try their devices sometime, but there just always were a few problems to many with their devices so far (which is only my subjective opinion, of course).

[@TheUltimatewomble]

I like these after the buzz vids

+Sebby !! looks like they heard me. 😂😂😂

[@ir0nhead11]

where can I get that wallpaper

[@arthurm2985]

Should i get this phone or nah? I would normally be playing games and watching youtube videos and netflix and going on alot of social media..So would this phone do?

[@faheemmirza121]

i have same htc one m9 in Silver on gold trim and i've noticed dat it's volume down button is more flushed than it's volume up i mean volume buttons are'nt equal but working fine other dan dat it's very fast and snappy with no lags and gaming is fantasting with it's boomsound

[@andyH_England]

I bought the Korean version with the 2k screen, no 810 and a fingerprint reader. What the International release should have been, a great phone but battery life is an issue and the A9 having even a smaller battery so I am not sure where HTC are going?

[@cowan1130]

something you didn't mention is how tough this phone is. i have dropped it from 4 feet onto its corner and it barely looks like its taken a fall. you do that to an iphone without a case and your going to have a bad time. Still love my m9

[@raysanders777]

Michael Fisher= true captain 2 phones. Also Marquees Brown Lee....

[@briancaster2876]

I have a one m8 and I love it. Thought about switching to the m9 but it just didn't seem like enough of an upgrade.

I got given the m9 for work and while it's a pretty good device the lack of quick charge and fingerprint access is a major downside. I need to carry around a powerbank just to make sure I can get through the day. One positive though, HTC regularly push out security updates for the device. Hopefully, the Marshmallow update will address the battery issues.

after watching this video, I still bought this phone for 389$ 32gb version. after realizing that the nexus 6p is technically the same thing with snapdragon 810 and adreno 430. the only difference is it has 4k screen , a fingerprint reader, and a better camera. once the m9 gets marshmallow it's gonna get faster, so 389$ for a phone that sounds good, and have same specs as newer phones is not that bad.

The M9 doesn't deserve all the flack it gets. If you're not doing intensive gaming/benchmarks or using it as a main camera, its a very good phone (without being a hot plate). Although as far as speakers, I think my Idol 3 is a tie in quality and clarity with my friend's M9 and that's not a bad thing. HTC mad mobile audio important again and competition is arising. I'm curious if the A9 sequel will bring in BoomSound in a more discreet package if the M10 doesn't tickle anyone's fancy in appearance

different SOC's making battery way different with or without doze, especially since doze doesn't work if you're using your phone all day...

Bought this phone in June, And the way it aged is just amazing. My friend bought the SGS6 edge at the same time and his phone battery is trash and after downloading more apps it really sucked.. Plus the stuttering.. Meanwhile my htc m9 still runs as smooth as it ran out of the box.. Plus the BoomSound just amazing

I have the m9 for 7 months now. But i think it is the best phone, except for the N6P and the M8. Iam a HTC fan, but i so have N6, N6P, LG G3 and LG G4 next to me HTC One m7, m8, m9 and a9. The device (m9) is like jewelry in my eyes just like every other HTC device i have. Sometimes it is getter really hot, but i like that, the weather is pretty cold here in the Netherlands. That is the only compliant i have with the m9. With that said. I don't get the loss witch HTC is getting over this phone. HTC are the pioneers of smartphones and PDA's and is hard to understand why it is going bad for de company so damn fast the last past years. Short: The m9 is for my the most beautiful phone there is period.

hey Michael, have you heard anything about the M9s? apparently it's a Mediatech version of the M9 and it has a 13mp camera with OIS. there's little to no coverage about the device and it'd be cool to see a performance comparison. it's significantly cheaper than the original M9 too.
