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.

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.

HTC’s new phablet rumored w/ QHD display, 810 CPU, UltraPixel cam

Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

A Brazilian website claims to have the exclusive scoop on HTC‘s alleged phablet. It will reportedly be called the Hima Ace Plus and will run on the latest Qualcomm processor, a 2K resolution display, and more.

HTC Hima Ace Plus rumored specs:
5.5-inch QHD display @ 2560 x 1440 resolution
2.3GHz Anapdragon 810 processor
3GB RAM
32GB internal storage
20MP rear camera
4MP UltraPixel front camera
3000mAh battery

The loosely-translated wesbite also includes a “fingerprint reader” that can be activated even on standby mode. In addition, the alleged phablet could be expected to come on August or September. Do remember, though, to take it with a grain of salt until nothing is still official.

Seems like everyone’s hopping in on the QHD bandwagon these days. What do you think?
