HTC M9 Goes Official with 20 MP Camera and New Color Options

The HTC M9 is finally official with the same industrial design of its predecessor.

The wait is over. One of the most anticipated smartphones of the year is finally here. Yes, we are talking about the HTC One M9. The flagship device from HTC retains the same industrial design from the M8 with a few improvements. The HTC M9 is lighter and smaller than its predecessor and features an improved 5” 1080p display.

Apart from an improved display HTC has also tweaked the Boom Sound speakers, with the addition of Dolby Sound technology and the Power/Lock key is now on the right side. Talking about the specs, HTC has made sure to offer the latest and greatest from Qualcomm featuring an octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor along with 3GB of RAM and Adreno 430 graphics.

The biggest change, however, is the camera. HTC has moved away from the rear Ultra Pixel Camera and now the M9 features 20MP BSI rear camera capable of 4K recording along with 4MP UltraPixel front camera for selfie lovers, however the camera doesn’t support OIS. HTC also beefed up the battery to 2,840 mAh as compared to 2,600mAh in M8, making it a tad thicker and now offers new colors options including Silver with Rose Gold frame, the famous Gun Metal Gray, Gold and a Pink color with Gold frame.

Not to forget that it supports fast charging. Unfortunately, a fast charger won’t be provided in the retail box. The battery is again non-replaceable, but the micro SD slot is still available. M9 will be running on Android 5.0 Lollipop with the improved HTC Sense 7 UI. It will be available in March while the pricing is still not known.
