Industry Standad DxOMark rates the M9 camera below iPhone 4S, Galaxy S3 and Amazon Firephone, and barely beating the M8

If you're wondering who and what DxO is, they are a testing body who look at the objective side of things when it comes to camera perforce. None of the "it looks good", just a raw analysis of the hardware and how it performs, usually in studio/ideal conditions, to see just what good the tech underneath really is. 

 

And for the HTC One M9? The tech is kinda shitty. I mean, when you aren't even beating a 4S in objective tests designed to see where your sensors and software excel/fail...that kinda says it all doesn't it? 

It seems that the HTC One needs a software boost before it needs a sensor boost, given how the sensor itself isn't actually bad at all, which is frustrating given all the things HTC has been doing that they screwed the pooch on the camera software along with all the other hardware related mistakes of the One M9. 

 

Android users have no fear however, the Note 4, S6 and G4 are all stellar shooters with very robust software to complement their sensors to give you a great shooting experience.

I'm surprised the GS6 Edge placed the highest. But really, it was THAT shitty?

Dammit, HTC, you took a good sensor and screwed it up. Fix your camera software already.

They're too busy having a god awful chin bar.

At least other phones with big top and bottom bezels have ONE large section. Not two disjointed sections which ruin it even more. At least my 6+ is consistent. HTC keeps coming up with BS on NEEDING that chin.

Lazy engineering is lazy.

I've decided I'm keeping my Windows Phone for another year and hopefully, HTC will get it right in 2016. My contract will be up by then anyway.

 

If they didn't take so many missteps with the M9, they coulda had a great phone in their hands. But unfortunately it fell short of what I was hoping it would be.

I'm surprised that both the GS5 and Nexus 6 placed higher than the 5s.

Really, this is shitty. A GoPro has a better camera, and it isn't even that good. smh

Using an HTC 8 right now, the chin bar never bothered me yet and I know I prefer it to a mono rear speaker, so if that's the trade I have to make, I'll make it every day, if the chin bar means a bigger battery, I'll gladly take it.

I think the HTC 9 is the best looking phone out there, after they got rid of that stupid duo camera, too bad they botched a lot of the rest of it.

In topic with the thread, id hate to see the nexus 4s score, as it is the worst camera I've used since flip phones, I've used $200 Samsung with better cameras

Intel i5-3570K/ Gigabyte GTX 1080/ Asus PA248Q/ Sony MDR-7506/MSI Z77A-G45/ NHD-14/Samsung 840 EVO 256GB+ Seagate Barracuda 3TB/ 16GB HyperX Blue 1600MHZ/  750w PSU/ Corsiar Carbide 500R
