HTC One M9 hype thread

[WelshBloke]

What the odds of this?

Or this?

 

[lopri]

See how much better a phone looks without convex back!

 

[EvilYoda]

The Evan Blass "leak" really makes me want to start believing, given his track record...if it's true, I'll be very glad I'm waiting until March.

What the odds of this?

Doubt it happening, but yes please.

 

[poofyhairguy]

Yeah that render would make me burn an upgrade if true.

 

[heymrdj]

Wonder if it will have a Windows 10 version..

Should have. HTC also promised windows 10 to current M8 owners.

After repeatedly bashing my HTC One (M7) into my E-brake handle one day after a frustrating experience and shattering it to pieces... as much as I love HTC's design... I will probably never purchase a device from them again.

Don't you think that's more the fault of you and your e-brake than HTC?

Haha! I must admit, I lost my temper.

I had the phone for approximately 1.5 years or so from new. The front bottom speaker stopped working, the top speaker was near dead. The camera was absolutely impossible to use. HTC's Sense was utter shit. The Micro-usb port became extremely loose fitting and I found many mornings waking up to a dead phone thanks to the cable falling out. Lots of issues with "No Sim Detected", the battery life wasn't very impressive. The headphone jack became flaky. I'm sure there were other issues. Just fyi, this phone was cased and dropped only a couple of times. No issues ever arose right after any of the falls.

I eventually had enough the other night when It decided to report 20% battery life. So as I was writing a fairly important text message, it decided it actually had 0% and died. This is the night it met it's death to the emergency brake handle of my car.

Don't know about you, but my M8 survived multiple drops while running into dirt/gravel, no problems at all (with UAC case)

my m8 has gone through multiple drops and remained fully functional through all. best android phohe i'e owned yet, and i had a nexus 5.

 

[lopri]

This?

I am not a fan of convex back but this one is done rather tastefully.

Geekbench puts the M9's performance a notch above the G Flex 2's. I wonder why?

Snapdragon 810 in HTC One M9

Snapdragon 810 in LG G Flex 2

My hopes went WAY up when evleaks revealed what he did. And think, he came out of retirement (lol) to post that news, he must feel extremely confident about it.

Are you on Sprint? I have had the stupid no-sim problem with my Sprint M7.

Also the USB connector is loose on the phone too.

Wasn't there something about G Flex 2 throttling?

Can't hotlink the images but a must-see. Stunning!

 

[ThatsABigOne]

This or OnePlus Two or S6 or G4...

 

[Sweepr]

HTC always nails it in terms of design.

 

[lopri]

I can hotlink one image but you should really see the whole collection. HTC listened to criticism and almost all design deficiencies are gone, and it looks SEXY. The curvage (my pet peeve of HTC phones) looks to be reduced to minimum.

I bet $100 Apple will copy this and color the ugly white plastic strips on the back for the iPhone 6S. Gold, perhaps.. :biggrin:

This or OnePlus Two or S6 or G4...

Yay. That's the joy of Android. Choices galore.

Edit: PocketNow images are hotlink-able. (but PhoneArena has more images)

I can't believe they didn't center the USB charging port! Is there a reason for that, maybe M7/M8 users can explain? Not a big deal but why stop at 98% when you can get 100% right..

 

[cliftonite]

Wasn't there supposed to be a phablet too? A MAX model or something?

 

[Anubis]

those latest renders look really nice, thing I didn't like about the M8 was the wasted space for those pointless speakers

 

[maevinj]

Those renders look good! I hope they release a version with Windows 10!

And that's all they are, someones pipe dream of a phone.

Exactly, why are we getting excited over renders? They don't mean anything. Really it just sets you up for disappointment.
