HTC unveiled the One M9 at the MWC trade show in Barcelona, Spain yesterday. The company had provided many publications with the handset a week before their official announcement, so as soon as the company announced the handset yesterday, a lot of publications pushed their thoughts about the handset live as well. So, what does the tech press think about HTC’s latest flagship? Are they disappointed with the design of the handset? Is the 20MP rear camera on the handset any good? Let us take a look at what they think. The Verge The publication called the One M9 “the world’s most beautiful disappointment,” and found its camera to be “mediocre.” On its design, The Verge had this to say. As for the camera, this is what the publication said. Putting my hands on the One M9 revealed more pronounced edges on its sides and a much less slippery surface finish than on the One M8. Some of the curvy refinement is lost, but a lot has been gained in ensuring a reliable single-handed grip of the phone. Android Central Design: Camera: Pocketnow Design: Camera: If the initial hands-on of the One M9 are anything to go by, it looks like the camera performance of the handset is still below par. It looks like Samsung has an edge over HTC this time around, since the initial impressions of the Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge have been pretty positive. What do you think? Is the HTC One M9 a better handset than the Galaxy S6?
