It feels premium and well built. I am just missing my duo camera. I cannot understand why HTC has such dynamic strategy. From UltraPixels to Duo Camera and now back to single high resolution camera. Thankfully, the design is still pleasing.<\/p>\n<p>My wish list for HTC:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Higher capacity internal memory<\/li>\n<li>Better camera (not bigger megapixels) as the competitors are improving fast.<\/li>\n<li>Optical Image stabilizer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Press Release<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">BRING YOUR WORLD TO LIFE WITH THE NEW HTC ONE<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Get more out of every experience with the beautifully crafted HTC One M9\u2019s unique combination of elegance and performance<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Singapore, April 27, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 HTC unveiled its most personal, beautiful and powerful smartphone yet, the HTC One M9 at the recent Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The newest flagship in the globally acclaimed HTC One family, the HTC One M9 is a classic yet timeless celebration of beauty and elegance that combines high style and performance, enabling you to get the most from your mobile phone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;HTC has built its reputation on challenging expectations in the mobile industry,\u201d said Cher Wang, CEO, HTC. \u201cThe HTC One M9 accomplishes this once again with stunning elegance and design, combined with smart features that help bring your world to life, connecting you in a deeper way to the things you consider most important. So much more than just a phone, the HTC One M9 is an extension of who you are\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A complete celebration of design<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Building on a three-year pursuit of excellence, the HTC One M9 melds the best of the award-winning HTC One M7 and HTC One M8 into a stunning, iconic design. Distinct metal edges combine perfectly with graceful curves for a jewellery-grade look. Small and easy to hold, the crafted, all-metal unibody design is highlighted by an exquisite dual-tone silver and rose gold\u00b9 finish that is as distinctive, as it is durable. Mirror-polished gold sides cascade effortlessly into a hairline brushed silver back panel, encasing a bright and vivid display.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HTC Sense 7: An extension of you<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your phone should make a statement about who you are and the new HTC Sense\u2122 7 experience puts you in control of everything. Highly customisable and intuitively <em>you<\/em>, Themes puts you at the centre of the smartphone experience, intelligently analysing your favourite photos to modify the look and feel of your apps, colour scheme and backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>As your always-on travel companion, your smartphone is perfectly placed to enrich your mobile life. Sense 7 reinvents the home screen to deliver the most useful apps to the homepage based on your location. Whether at home, work, or play, you\u2019re never more than a click away from the features you need with this contextual, customisable widget. A more intelligent HTC BlinkFeed\u2122 also makes it easier to uncover the hidden gems that surround you by using location data to recommend points of interest, news and information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Incredible imaging: Helping you create your best memories<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With the best camera being the one you carry in your pocket, your smartphone should make it a breeze to take brilliant, creative and fun images. The HTC One M9\u2019s cameras are designed to capture every moment in amazing quality, allowing you to relive those moments again and again. The main camera features an incredible 20 megapixels that accentuate every crisp, intricate detail and a sapphire cover lens that protects from scratches. For vivid video that looks like the latest blockbuster, the camera also shoots movies in 4K resolution.<\/p>\n<p>The best moments take you by surprise and spontaneity often doesn\u2019t come fully lit. The ultimate companion of the impulsive snapper, the HTC One M9 addresses low-light shots with a powerful UltraPixel\u2122 front-facing camera. Dynamic auto exposure and UltraPixels that capture 300% more light than standard cameras deliver sharper, more natural and balanced self-portraits in any lighting conditions.<\/p>\n<p>HTC Sense 7 with HTC\u2019s EYE\u2122 Experience software makes taking creative pictures easy. A host of new editing effects including Shapes, Prismatic, Elements and Bokeh allow you to add a little bit of individual artistry into every shot, with the Zoe\u2122 app automatically editing them, putting them to your choice of music\u00b2 and letting friends remix the collection with their own shots to create a shared celebration from every moment.<\/p>\n<p>With so many incredible images, quickly showing your friends those brilliant shots could become an issue. Wherever they\u2019re stored, the new One Gallery makes it easy to search through your entire photo library, viewing images saved on the phone, on social media, and on select cloud platforms. The gallery puts your whole image library at your fingertips, searching by date, location, event, album or even the images themselves with Image Match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exhilarating audio: Hear the difference<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A truly great viewing experience deserves sound that puts you on the front row. The HTC\u00a0One\u00a0M9 guarantees a larger-than-life soundtrack courtesy of HTC BoomSound\u2122. The HTC One family\u2019s iconic dual front-facing speakers, now combined with 5.1 channel Dolby\u00ae Surround sound<sup>3<\/sup> simulation, get you even closer to the action, delivering extraordinary, cinema-style surround sound. Uniting HTC BoomSound and Dolby Audio\u2122 creates immersion vibrant audio experience, so you can enjoy movies with rich, clear and powerful sound even without connecting headphones or external speakers. Whether listening via the stereo speakers or headphones, even the most discerning music fans will be blown away by the phone\u2019s support for perfect, 24-bit high-definition sound that surpasses even CD quality. HTC\u2019s unique combination of HTC BoomSound, Dolby Audio\u2122, a finely tuned sound profile, and Qualcomm<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Immersive Audio gives all of your music and movies an unmistakable HTC\u00a0One\u00a0M9 flavour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Connecting your world<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Smartphones are fast becoming the central hub for home entertainment and HTC Connect\u2122 makes it easy to enjoy your multimedia experience beyond your phone.
