HTC One M9 vs One M8

2015-03-01
okay what's up everyone in Seaside Hazleton from TechnoBuffalo I'm here at Mobile World Congress HTC just wrapped up a press conference where it announced the 109 we brought you the hands-on with that but we want to bring you something a little bit more here's a comparison between the one m9 in my right hand and the m8 in my left hand and part in the scratches it was a daily driver for a long time here so a lot of design changes but still a very familiar looking device so let's just go we'll go along the right-hand side here you can see it now has individual power buttons as well as the I'm sorry volume buttons the power buttons just below it and then I believe it's either the simmer micro SD card slot I can't pop it open and check up on the top there front-facing camera this time the ultra pixels there instead of on the back where you had the floral 4 pixel camera last year it's up front now so more light getting let in and then the camera on the back has been switched to a 20 megapixel camera same dual LED flash you see there a similar design and when it comes to the banding and the brushed metal look and then let's see here on the left-hand side of the phone again one of the port's here it's either the SIM card or micro SD card slot nothing else and again similar antenna band looks than the bottom you have the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and the micro USB charging same as before up top really similar again but the power buttons have moved to the side but you have this IR blaster area right there so in terms of other features that have changed here under the hood you have a Snapdragon 810 processor there nice bump there and then you also have new boom sound speakers and again it looks the same and you still have that black bar which HTC says it's actually required to fit the space for the speakers so fair trade-off I suppose but these also support Dolby 5.1 surround sound so when you're listening to music it should come out at you and feel like you're being surrounded otherwise on here you have sense 7 which is actually going to be updated to the m8 at some point HTC didn't say win but it's coming and new options here so like this is a tap to personalise it says but it actually lets you and it's not set up but it lets you set work and home modes and then away so it'll show you different apps depending on where you are so homework and out here we go I just set it up so at work it'll show those apps and then if you go here click home it's a little hard to see with the background the apps actually change to what you want and so themes this is part of sense 7 again will let you apply all kinds of different themes and that changes the icons it changes the layout here of the home buttons and the look of those and everything else you can actually add a photo and the theme will actually generate itself then you can share these with friends and stuff like that so a lot of cool stuff in son 7 and we'll show you that a bit later but wanted to show you comparison between the m8 and the m9 right here this is a quick look my name is Todd Hazleton from TechnoBuffalo
