HTC One M9 Users I WANT YOU!
HTC One M9 Users I WANT YOU! to tell me your opinions on the phone, in short sentences that would base my opinion on buying it or not .
I got the phone recently as an upgrade from my M7 which has started getting slower. The M9 is very fast, Excellent at multitasking and just feels much smoother. The camera received an update the day after i got the phone, I didn't get it on release, it is now much better. I especially love the front camera even though I'm not into selfies that much, It's especially good for video calling. The 4k video recording is 4K (duh) and looks amazing.
I have yet to put an SD card into the phone, i have the 32gb version which is enough for now. The buttons on the bottom can be rearranged which I love. The Wifi receiver is impressive on both the 2Ghz and 5ghz networks, they have great distance New functionality includes recognising when you are at home and having a customish home page where the phone will adapt to the apps you use most while in the location you marked as home, I quite like this as it actually shows the apps I use most (not a gimic). The sound is amazing as per usual and really its an improvement of the M7 which was a beast so no drawbacks there.
My phone came with the fast charger in the UK so it depends where you are but the battery lasts be a day and a half which pretty extreme use (watching videos, listening to music, whatsapp, web browsing and emails as well as calls and texts) however the recharge time is actually mind blowing I got from 3% to 80% in about 15 mins I don't know if its the charger or what but its amazeballs.I had to choose between this phone and the s6(edge cause of the edge haha). I chose this one cause I'm pretty comfortable with the sense OS and I find it easy to use, so really its up to you but the phone itself is a win. It does overheat a bit when playing stressful games or watching shows on netflix but as far as I've heard its just the new snapdragon CPUs' fault.
Overall its been about a week and a bit and I'm loving the phone so far so I'd say go for it.
On a side not about the battery life. I run with the power saver mode on pretty much permanently. As far as I can tell from doing this on the M7 and now the M9 the only drawback noticeable difference is that putting the screen brightness up all the way doesn't make it as bright. According to the phone CPU usage is more conservative and it limits the network usage a bit, but I don't notice this so it depends on your personal usage.
