Are you liking the dual-tone body of the new HTC One M9?
Taking the spotlight at HTC's MWC presentation, the new One M9 stays true to the company's premium unibody design, with a "dual-tone metal unibody," just as predicted. No qualms about that, as HTC traditionally makes some of the most beautiful and premium-feeling handsets out there, and the One M9 is no exception. Clocking in at 144.6 x 69.7 x 9.61mm, the new flagships is shorter and slightly narrower than its predecessor, the One (M8), but keeps its girth and heft. Thus, it still feels solid in the hand, but will be a tad more manageable in your pocket.

The new metal body finish is slightly grippier, which doesn't make it feel as slippery as its predecessor – so it’s less prone for us to accidentally drop it. For the most part, there’s nothing too radical with the design, especially when it employs the same distinct design traits as before – like its dual front-firing BoomSound speakers, separating lines on its back, and the plastic cover over the top edge. Other small, but minor changes that we appreciate include the placement of the power button to the right edge of the phone and its textured finish. Still, these are our impressions, and we would like to know what you personally think about the new HTC One M9 'dual-tone' design. Take a side, and chime in the comments.
