HTC has finally made the HTC One M9 official and it has retained the same design philosophy as the previous generations. The new HTC One M9 features a refined design with dual anodization and scratch resistant coating. The phone is lighter and smaller than the One M8. The company has made some essential changes as well, like the power button is now placed on the side and the volume rocker keys have improved too. The new HTC flagship is not water or dust resistant, but the company will unveil a number of IP69 certified cases to make it more rugged. Like previous rumors suggested, the phone comes in new dual color tone options, like silver plus gold accent on the frame or pink plus gold accent. There are two other colors as well – Gun Metal Gray and Complete Gold.
Tech specs wise, the HTC One M9 features the new Snapdragon 810 processor with 3GB of RAM onboard. The BoomSound speakers make a comeback, now with Dolby Surround Audio technology. The phone supports fast charging, however users will have to purchase a supported charger to use this tech. The rear camera is now from Toshiba, instead of the 4MP Ulrapixel sensor. This will be a 20MP rear camera and will support RAW capture along with 4K video shooting too. HTC has promised improved Zoe apps for a better camera experience as well. As for software, the HTC One M9 runs on Android 5.0 out of the box with the new Sense 7 UI on top.
