MWC: HTC One M9 and HTC Grip

HTC announced its new flagship the HTC One M9 and new smartphone accessory HTC Grip.

The New HTC One M9 still radiates premium grade design as known for htc devices but comes with a more refined look with dual finish turning away from the unibody design on the M8. The 5 inch Super LCD3 1080p Display is here to stay and seek not to compete with other flagships on QuadHD resolution.

For hardware, its a different story as HTC made sure it gets the latest Snapdragon 810 Octa-Core 64Bit Processor with Adreno 430 Graphics coupled with more ram at 3GB and 32GB Internal Storage with expandability that will sure make the M9 a competitive powerhouse machine.

With the UltraPixel fiasco, they went back to the old but more reliable standard, packing a 1/2.3" Toshiba Sensor with aperture of F/2.2 at 20MP for primary rear camera with Dual LED / Tone Flash but makes use of UltraPixels for front-facing at 4UP. Support 4K Video Recording and RAW.

Comes with complete range of connectivity - LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC and TV Out via MHL. Battery is at 2840mAh with fast charging.

Software side it will run the latest Android Lollipop with updated Sense 7 UI.

HTC is gearing for a great comeback with One M9 with its premium and sturdy construction match with powerful hardware, improved camera and connectivity plus one of the best and intuitive UI. Exciting to see it pit against Sammy's new rendition, the S6.
