HTC have announced their next device which is the M9,once again we see a similar design which is a unibody made from one block of aluminium.The only striking difference is the camera on the back which is now square rather than a circular one seen on past devices.
The HTC One M9 features more customisable options than ever. With the built-in HTC Themes app, you can change the look and feel of your phone using your favourite photo or even online image. Control everything from the shape and size of your icons, ring tone and even wallpaper of your phone.
Sporting a 20MP main camera with an UltraPixel front camera provides photo and imaging control like never before. HTC Eye™ Experience software allows you to create Split Captures, take Voice Selfies, apply Live Makeup and more. Plus, you can combine your photos and videos with your friends for footage from multiple points of view with the Zoe app.
The HTC One M9 has a front-facing camera built with UltraPixel technology to take in more light, for incredibly detailed selfies, both day and night. Its wide-angle lens is designed to capture a larger field of view, so you’ll get all your friends with every shot.
Partnering with Dolby, the HTC One M9 recreates the 5.1 surround sound effect to deliver true left and right channel sound for a cinematic experience. HTC BoomSound™ with Dolby Audio provides optimised sound, even from multi-channel online sources.
Available both on BoomSound audio and headphone modes, your films and games have never sounded better.
HTC BoomSound™ Connect allows you to stream any music or video from the HTC One M9 to compatible home stereo devices, simply by swiping your home screen with three fingers. You can even stream different music to multiple speakers at the same time, for the ultimate handheld all-metal remote control. This is quite good and im a big fan of these speakers the previous model had superior sound from them giving gaming and watching videos etc an extra viewing experience.
The HTC One M9 features an enhanced BlinkFeed that offers recommendations and links based on your location. You’ll get mealtime specials in your area, wherever you are.
