HTC One M9 camera: quick camera comparison against other flagships

While we were spending some intimate time checking out the HTC One M9, we thought it’d be a good idea to give you folks some insight to how its new 20-megapixel camera fairs in comparison to some of today’s existing flagship smartphones. Spanning a wide array of shots, from those taken outdoor with plenty of lighting, to some barely lit scenes, you can see in the gallery below how the new camera tangles against the camera sensors of its peers.

The listing includes samples taken by the Apple iPhone 6 Plus, Apple iPhone 6, HTC One M9, Google Nexus 6, HTC One M8, Moto X 2014, Nokia Lumia 930, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. To be fair, though, it should be noted that the HTC One M9 used in this quick comparison is a pre-production model – and NOT a final retail unit. Who knows what can happen between now and the time of its actual release, but in any event, here’s what we’re able to see right now.

Considering that HTC has ditched the UltraPixel camera for the M9's rear one in favor of a higher count 20-megapixel one, do you think it has the guts to win over shutterbugs who take pride in the shots they capture with their device?
