Phone owned for less than 3 months

I am completely pleased with this phone, because Sense UI is very fast and it has great multitasking. The GPS is quick such as race car(GPS sofwarre find my location less than 20 seconds). I can play with Need for Speed No Limits without freezing.
I have little problem with battery, because it is deflating rapidly, but this problem is being solved with fast charge function and power saving mode. Speakers with HTC Boom Sound Technology are the best, what I ever seen.

Great phone but i expect much more from htc

Posted: Jan 04, 2016, 3:46 AM

Phone owned for less than a month

The phone itself is great but i just bough it for 2 week(Taiwan m9 with 64GB and price about 400$) because i got rumored about how bad of snapdragon 810 cpu so i bough Galaxy s6 as my main phone lol but after i got m9i stand at m9 side, m9 is more stable and as powerful as s6(or more because it use less ram) . The camera is great but can't compare to s6 because 1.No OIS 2.less feature though it sharper and better when you use it manually and i want IMPROVE ULTRA PIXEL WITH DUO CAMERAS MORE THAN 20.3M TOSHIBA SENSOR CAMERA, Another good thing is Audio system New speaker is much better than anyphone i ever had and even better than my ipod touch. the display is great less colorful than Galaxy s6 but more realistic(though i prefer over shading Super Amoled because impressionist art alway look better than real object) but the real problem is many flagship go to 2k or 4k but m9 still use FHD ,well FHD is fine but it alreay obsolete and when i compare to my friend m9+ that phone have little bit better image quality with same price.
