I guess some people might buy the HTC One M9+ only for its looks. It is that kind of phone, with a full-metal chassis and smooth gold frame that offsets the matte finish on the rest of the body. It also brings the dual camera back, something HTC decided to forgo off in the M9. Specs: 5.2 inch Super LCD3 capacitive touchscreen (1440x2560p, ~534 ppi) | Octa-core 2.2 GHz Mediatek MT6795T with 3GB RAM | 32GB storage, expandable up to 128GB | 20MP + 2.1MP dual rear camera, 4 MP front camera | Android Lollipop with HTC Sense UI 7 | 2840 mAh battery Price: Rs 48,362 The full review is here The design has to be the best thing about the HTC One M9+. The full-metal body is still the best chassis on any Android phone and leaves me wondering why metal does not become a standard in phones of all brands. The HTC Sense 7.0 UI has enough new features to make it one of the best covers on Android phones. There is even a suggestions folder where the UI suggests apps based on your user behaviour. [related-post] The camera is one of the best in Android phones and it is really fast like with the HTC One M8. However, it is not a big improvement on the M8 and that is a disappointment. HTC has dropped Qualcomm and moved to MediaTek for this version of its flagship. But it is hard to miss the fact the phone is a bit warm most of the times, though it does not really over heat. The battery life is decent and will last a day with regular use. This is good as most flagships are struggling to push it beyond 12 hours. Overall, the phone is not a really big jump on last year’s HTC One M8. It is more of a natural progression. The camera is also a bit of a disappointment. Only because it could have been much better. If you are one of those people who want to show the world that you have a top-end phone that looks like one, the HTC One M9+ is one of your best bets.
