We’re expecting that to turn up later as an exclusive for a retailer or network, the way the red M7 was exclusive to Phones 4U (RIP). Strangely, the US doesn’t seem to be getting the gold/gold version, and the pink edition we saw at Mobile World Congress hasn’t been announced for either country. That gold is warm and appealing with no brassy tones – definitely a rose gold hue.

The M9 manages to be both utterly smooth without ever feeling slippery or droppable, or even cold: for an all-metal phone, it’s very pleasant to hold.Ĭurrently, only three colours of the M9 have been announced for the UK: gold on gold, gunmetal grey, and gold on silver, which is the one we have. You can’t see your face in them. The elegantly curved back of the phone has the same hairline finish as the M8, and again nestles just perfectly in your palm (although it’s worth noting that it picks up fingerprints easily). We can’t agree with HTC’s description of those edges as ‘mirrored’, though: they’re just shiny. We can see what they mean, with precision lines rendered in scratch-resistant aluminium, and OCD-grade separation between the gold band and the rest of the phone. HTC describes the craftsmanship on the M9 as ‘jewellery-like’, resembling ‘that of a fine watch’. That means it’s made from just one piece of metal, which is impressive given the distinctive colour change on the edges of the handset: It’s 157g, which feels solid and weighty in your hand thanks to the aluminium unibody. The dimensions of the phone are very similar to before, although it’s lost 3g in weight. It’s got an etched pattern to help you locate it, but my personal feeling is that if you can’t find the power button in your pocket with gloves on, it’s not intuitive enough.

This makes it very difficult to find without looking for it, given that it’s just below two very similar-sized volume buttons. The buttons have also shifted around a bit since the last iteration, with the power button vexingly moving from the top right to the right-hand edge. Seriously, the first person to make a Minion case for this phone will be minted. The main difference from the M8 is that big square-ish camera lens at the back, which has resulted in me nicknaming my M9 ‘The Cyclops’. Still, even HTC have struggled to tell the phones apart recently, famously mixing them up on a Facebook ad. HTC have been pretty upfront about the resemblance, stating that it’s done intentionally to create an iconic look that consumers will recognise. While it’s no secret that this phone looks fairly similar to its predecessors, that’s no bad thing. The One M9 and M8 are like siblings from a ridiculously handsome family: Liam and Chris Hemsworth, perhaps, or Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry.
#HTC ONE M9 REVIEW 6 MONTS LATER ANDROID#
With the One M8 being one of the most popular Android smartphones of all time, the M9’s got big shoes to fill – so should you buy one? Find out everything you need to know in our HTC One M9 review. Good news! The HTC One M9 and M9+ will be updated to Android M, with more devices to be announced soon.Following on from our quick hands-on with the HTC One M9 at the launch event in Barcelona, we take an in-depth look at the flagship phone HTC is hoping will see off competition from Apple and Samsung.
#HTC ONE M9 REVIEW 6 MONTS LATER UPDATE#
We’re not expecting to see Android M on any HTC devices for a least a few month, but we should start hearing more news regarding HTC’s software update timeline starting later this summer. However, we’d recommend waiting until this fall since there’s no guarantee that the developer build will offer an optimized user experience.

If you own the HTC nexus 9, you can already download a developer preview of Android M to get a look as all the new features that Google has baked into the operating system. Other device will be added to the list in the future, but we can pretty much guarantee that the HTC One M8, HTC One E8, HTC Butterfly 2, HTC Desire 820 and HTC Desire EYE will be updated to Android M.

While it’s safe to assume that most of HTC’s newer devices will be getting the Android M update once Google releases the code later this year, HTC’s Jeff Gordon announced on Twitter that the HTC One M9 and the HTC One M9+ have officially made the cut. Android M was announced yesterday during the opening Google I/O keynote.
