Or add a fourth button, which lets you do things like open the notification shade (a gesture I’m not fond of in Android 5.0 and up) or get to settings options. If you’re not a fan of the boring ‘back’, ‘home’, and ‘app switcher’ icons, you can reorder them. Or, more specifically, your arrangement of those buttons. Perhaps even cooler than all that is HTC’s new soft button arrangement. Find yourself listening to a track you want to play in your home, and a series of bluetooth devices your phone is paired with pops up via a three-finger swipe up. Those choices are fed to you based on a wallpaper you choose.Ĭonnect is a handy way to quickly link to bluetooth devices when you’re listening to music. Themes are more than simple wallpapers, and offer up deep customization to apps and icons, all without you having to fuss too much. Sense is now fairly customizable, which is a handy way to re-skin the phone anew when you’re bored of it.

With the One M8, Sense accelerated what Android already has going for it, and Sense 7.0 is similarly capable. Lucky for me, I don’t mind Sense much, even though I tend to loathe (not being flip, I really do hate overlays - or is it just TouchWiz?) skinned Android. It’s Android and Sense, just like it always is with HTC. Memory: 32GB expandable via microSD card, supports up to 128GB SoC: Snapdragon 810 (octa-core, 4 x 2GHZ + 4 x 1.5GHz), RAM: 3GB

HTC ONE M9 REVIEW HOW TO
Once, the One M9 just wouldn’t turn on it seemed to need to be plugged in to remind itself how to work, even though the battery was at 58%. In grabbing screenshots, there were several times the buttons just didn’t respond.

It’s clumsy as-is.Īlso, I find the buttons to be less responsive than the One M8. Either that, or put the power button on top or near the top of the side.

I’d much rather HTC have kept with the Desire Eye concept and placed the power button lower for use as a shutter (the Desire Eye has power and a shutter, but you get my drift). I’m not a fan of the power button in the middle it’s too much like an Xperia for my liking. The right side is where i’ll take issue with the design.
