Same screen size but a whole new level of features and performance

Bytes.pk brings to you the successor of the HTC One M8, the One M9. The screen size and resolution might remain unchanged between the two smartphones, but the performance that the One M9 brings to the table overshadows that of its predecessor and of devices such as the Galaxy Note 4 and several others.

Octa-core processor and 3 GB of RAM bulldozes through the competition

Armed to the teeth with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810, expect more than just a swift operating system in a beautifully designed smartphone. Running a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 CPUand quad-core 2 GHz Cortex-A57processor, nothing is going to stand in the way of the HTC One M9; not taxing applications and certainly not graphically intensive mobile gaming titles. With the combination of 3 GB of RAM and an Adreno 430 GPU, you will ensure that you have sufficient memory to prevent sporadic stuttering and lag in games like N.O.V.A 3 and Batman: Arkham Origins.

Breathtaking design

The Taiwanese smartphone maker is known for paying close attention to the detail and design of its smartphones and bytes.pk has a keen eye for the perfect smartphones. Consumers who are looking for aesthetics and performance should turn their attention to the flagship offering of HTC.

Next generation image capturing and video recording

When a DSLR becomes too difficult to carry, what is the next best thing you can equip yourself with? That’s right, the HTC One M9 and its powerful 20.7 megapixel camera sensor. Capable of recording 4K videos at a steady frame rate of 30 FPS, the HTC One M9’s OIS (optical stabilization) chip helps to capture stabilized images and prevent them from being blurry and hazy. Furthermore, while we are at the subject of camera sensors, let us not forget the 4 megapixel front camera sensor, which is the ideal thing to have when you want to capture high resolution images, and host video calls with your loved ones.

Impressive wireless network connectivity components

Armed with a LTE category 6 modem and an 802.11 ac wireless standard adapter, experience unprecedented levels of mobile carrier network and Wi-Fi speeds. With the wireless adapter’s dual-band functionality, you can effortlessly stream high resolution videos without delay.

Ridiculous battery life

Combine the efficient octa-core processor, Android Lollipop 5.0.2 update ‘out of the box’ and of course the HTC One M9’s 2,840 mAh battery life and what do you get? Insane amounts of battery life. With the One M9, you can rest assured that you will be able to take out 12-14 hours of backup power while connected to the battery hungry LTE network. Keep being connected with the globe as long as you are in possession of the HTC One M9.
