Many will say that stumbled with the choosing refinement in design over dealing with the biggest problem it faced: camera performance. No sooner had the One M9 hit the shelves, HTC launched a bigger device, with better specs in Asia, announcing wider availability of the HTC One M9+ a few months later.
The M9+ is a better device than the flagship M9 in many ways. It has a large 5.2-inch display that's not only better quality, it's a higher resolution too. It offers a fingerprint scanner on the front that's fast to unlock it and it also doesn't get quite as hot as the regular M9.
But HTC doesn't really address the camera issue with the M9+. Using the same 20-megapixel sensor on the rear, it has the same problems as the regular M9, being poor in low light, and struggling to match the quality of rival cameras, even in good light. It also offers Duo Camera functionality, but it feels like a short-lived novelty, rather than something that makes a pursuasive casefor itself.
Ultimately, the M9+ is the device to pick for the latest experience, but even in this enhanced model, it struggles against flagship rivals. Although we'd recommend this phone over the regular M9, which is expensive at £579, the M9+ is a little hard to come by.
