HTC One M9 Review: A pretty good phone overall

We got our hands on yet another great smartphone - the HTC One M9, all thanks again to Vodafone Qatar (This smartphone is available at all Vodafone stores in Qatar). We have been using and testing this phone for a few weeks now and we think it's a great phone.

The One M8 and original One were amazing handsets too, some might say they were better than their Samsung and Apple counterparts.

The competition has caught up, though. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is breaking sales records and Samsung appears to have silenced critics with the glass and metal Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.

How does the One M9 compare? The design closely resembles its last phone and the screen is almost the same.

A new camera, processor and larger battery provide the bulk of the hardware changes, while HTC's version of Android has had a facelift with Sense 7.

This all leads to a great phone that still has some areas of improvement. The rear camera doesn't live up to its promise, and neither does the One M9's battery life. And that really is surprising.

However, this is still one of the best phones you can get and it just goes to show how far HTC has come in the last few years that we hold its products to such lofty standards.

Watch this short video that Al Andalus Production created for Qatar Living to give an idea of how good the phone is:
