As you can see above, it’s really a close call, so picking between the two would be a matter of priorities.

Samsung Galaxy S6 advantages:

  • Slightly larger display
  • Higher screen resolution
  • Super AMOLED technology
  • 64GB & 128GB internal memory options
  • Optical Image Stabilization
  • Higher resolution selfie camera
  • Wireless Charging
  • Fingerprint scanner
  • Heart-rate monitor
  • Thinner

HTC One M9 advantages:

  • Super LCD 3 display
  • 1080p resolution (for those who argue we don’t need anything higher)
  • Expandable memory
  • Higher resolution rear camera
  • Larger battery
  • BoomSound speakers

Right now, we really can’t decide which is better at performance, which has a better camera or even which wins at price, so we’ll have to wait and see until we get our hands on these two devices.

Until then, we’ll leave it to you to decide! Stay tuned for more coverage.

We’re kicking off our 2015 Mobile World Congress coverage with the announcement of the HTC‘s newest flagship, the One M9!

The HTC One M9 combines the precision of the M7 and ergonomic curves of the M8, creating a convergence of form and function in a single block of aluminum. The new device will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 810, a 20-megapixel rear camera with Sapphire Glass, and an ultrapixel front camera.

The new M9 will also sport HTC’s newest skin, the Sense 7, with various features such as the HTC Connect. HTC’s BoomSound is upgraded further with Dolby’s 5.1 Surround Sound System.

Available in the Asia-Pacific later this month, the One M9 will be available in four colors: Silver, Gunmetal Gray, Pink, and Gold.

Spigen preps new cases for HTC One M9

Abe Olandres Leave a comment

While the next HTC One (M9) is not yet official, rumors abound of its impending announcement. The strongest evidence so far that we’ve gotten hold of is this set of new cases Spiegn is releasing soon.

Copies of an official brochure was sent out by Spigen to distributors around the globe. Here are the types of cases to be made available once the HTC One M9 comes out.

Last time we got a lead from Spigen was when they sent us 4 different cases for the yet-to-be-announced iPhone 6 and 6 Plus last year so we’re confident these new ones for the M9 will also be spot on.

The HTC One M9 will be announced in Barcelona next month during Mobile World Congress. It is said to sport a Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor with 3GB of RAM.

Image leak: HTC to reveal two flagship One M9s soon?

Evan Blass, formerly @evleaks, tweets an image of HTC flagship phones from before with two new unseen smartphones, most likely the new HTC One M9s.

The most surprising part here is that there is a variant with a physical home button that is rumored to be a fingerprint scanner (One M9 Ultra). We’re also still not sure if they’re going to release it in major markets such as the US, so we’ll just have to wait for the official announcement.

Based on the image above, you can see that the design has not changed that much; the only major difference is that the BoomSound speakers are no longer seen immediately and that the front-facing camera is now centered and more highlighted like the Desire Eye. HTC also looks like they’re keeping the same screen size while reducing the bezel, making the device more compact.

The HTC One M9 is expected to have a Snapdragon 810 CPU and a much improved 20 megapixel camera that replaces the heavily criticized UltraPixel cameras on the previous models.

HTC could introduce smartphone with 20MP cam and first smartwatch

Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

Slated to be announced during MWC 2015 this March, Bloomberg reports that the Taiwanese company HTC is gearing up to release the successor of the One (M8). Not only that, they could also be celebrating their first venture into the wearable scene by introducing their first smarwatch.

Bloomberg’s source points out that the codenamed HTC One (M9) will replace the UltraPixel technology seen on the M8 with a 20-megapixel sensor. The UltraPixel camera will then be moved from the rear camera to the front — giving users bigger-than-average pixel sizes that works well in low light areas.

Specs-wise, the M9 would look much like the M8  in terms of design and size, with gold, gray, and silver variants according to the source. In addition, it is expected to run on a Snapdragon 810 CPU, a Dolby 5.1 audio technology, and the company’s latest Sense 7 UI.

As for the company’s first-ever smartwatch, it will run with Under Armour Inc.’s fitness service which they have partnered with earlier this month. Apart from possibly launching it side-by-side the new smartphone, that’s pretty much everything what the source said about the smartwatch.

We really enjoyed our time with the HTC One (M8) which urges us to have high expectations for the M9 once it’s unveiled. Stay tuned for more upcoming details.
