all right so if the HTC One m9 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 had a baby yeah this is what we'd get this is the HTC One m9 plus so okay wait a second we have the HTC One m9 that we see in stores everyone knows that but what is this Plus version in short it's just a slightly better version of the flagship that's already out as the name implies so okay check this out here's a couple of new additions number one a slightly larger 5.2 inch quad HD display yes 2560 by 1440 so it's 0.2 inches larger and also brighter and sharper than the 1080p display in the regular one m9 it's also a little bit slightly cooler and color temperature but overall the superior display and then at the bottom as I'm sure you've already noticed on the front here is a fingerprint sensor so just like the Samsung or Apple flagships you can now register a couple of finger prints to unlock the phone just by touching your finger to the sensor so no swiping necessary it's actually really good - for me it's been just as fast and accurate as the one in the Apple or Samsung flagship phone so it's actually not a home button it doesn't press in at all it's just a surface that looks like the Samsung home button but you can't actually wake the device by tapping it you'll have to either double tap the display or use the actual power button on the side of the phone to get in and the actual software home button to go home but once you do get in it's the exact same software experience as a regular one m9 with just a few differences thanks to it actually being for the Chinese market which I'll get to in a second inside it's pretty powerful too it's rocking a 64-bit octa-core 2.2 gigahertz chip and three gigabytes of RAM again it's not the Snapdragon 810 or anything but it is packin a lot of power here and curiously enough even though it is a little bit of a bigger phone it does still have the same sized battery so it's still rocking a 2840 milliamp hour battery like the regular one m9 but the last big difference here is around the back and it's the camera or cameras it's rocking a 20 megapixel sensor again this time with the round housing instead of square and you have your dual LED flash and then up top you have your depth sensor again that one from the One m8 of last year so the m9 doesn't even have this at all now you can take your photos with all the glory of 20 megapixels and also still have the choice between some of HTC's corny duo camera effects not saying they'll be pretty photos but hey the effects are there so either way it is a slightly larger phone it's a slightly different phone it's pretty comparable to hold on the hand still has the same button placement as the original One m9 but everything else is straight from that already popular flagship so from the excellent build quality to the pretty much unmatched boom sound speakers so this brings to mind what we saw with the prime phones of last year we had this self named LG g3 prime and the Samsung Galaxy s5 prime and I did a video about both of those sort of explaining what Prime phones are and the same applies here this HTC One m9 plus is another one of those phones that's only going to be sold in China and if you want to get any in your pocket you'll have to import it which comes at a cost of its own shout-out to D brand skins for helping out with that and yet it has its own optimizations for that market because as far as HTC is concerned this is what the Chinese market wants and the one m9 we see here in US stores is exactly what the US market wants now I'm not saying I disagree with that but I'll tell you right now I would have loved to see the one m9 plus in stores here considering that it's basically objectively a better phone than the one m9 in a couple of ways also there have been rumblings of a samsung galaxy s6 plus and as far as I know this photo which was given to me by an anonymous source is the first one on the Internet of that so there's your exclusive and it'll have some pretty similar excellent specs and be a sort of a super-sized version of the original Galaxy s6 so there you go plus is the new prime thanks for watching guys and I'll talk to you in the next one peace you
