HTC One M9s - User Reviews

  • hello sir, please tell me HTC one m9s ringtone volume at time of ring whether both speaker rings at the same time ? ASCENTING RING ?

  • Because this model use Mediatek SOC , it's very difficult to get the update. However , i love this model. Everything 's ok.

  • Could you please let us know how did you update since there's no update via ota

  • Yes because I just updated my to version

  • Hey, please just tell me which one is better to buy between htc m9s ,htc a9

  • You don't need updates its bull sh** If your happy with your phone and speed why update it its not necessary,even if it promises speed improvements or battery life it can't be more then 20% but in 80% those claims are lies.

  • I'm very sad. My M9s did not get even Android 6.0. never buy other HTC mobile.

  • I have Been using HTC phones for years and for the first time am having second thoughts. They are great phones, more flexible with the software than the Apple prison and better quality than Samsung. The support system and software are failing. If you want one and are happy to leave as-is then get one.

  • I have HTC M9s ! But no any update to android6 !!! I pretty much hate from HTC company and HTC product.

  • Please anybody officially answer Could M9s update 6.0 or 7.0?

  • Android 7.0 is anounced but HTC One M9s still keeps 5.0.2. M9s just released in 2015, November. Please update new OS for M9s ASAP.

  • Great phone but still 5.0.2 not even 5.1.1 When will m9s/e gets 6.0 via ota Whats the diffrent between m9s and m9e Thanks for the answers

  • Yes it can. Anyone root this device and still keep user data

  • It's the same camera module as on the HTC A9 and X9. A review of these phones will give you a clue.

  • Can M9s get Android 6.0?

  • Htc M9s how the camera ?

  • Are you sure M9s better camera than A5 2016?

  • never think of midrange Samsung my friend has a5 2016 and its battery was bad since he got it. and I have a3 2016 since 4 months I wanna sell it and get htc one a9. in our country its only 300$ instead of 500

  • Hi guys! Can you just tell me which one should I buy: HTC One M9s or Samsung Galaxy A5 ( 2016 ) ? Thanks!

  • Hi guys! Can you just tell me which one should I buy: HTC One M9s or Samsung Galaxy A5 ( 2016 ) ? Thanks!

  • Plzz.it has infrared port and otg sopport?very important for me

  • It has 4k video 30fps and 1080p 60fps plz corret

  • Dont update to because after update phone is slow working and hang

  • hw to update marshamallow in htc m7 is it posible

  • If your priority is display, internet and design than samaung a5 is better or If you like gaming, camera and sound than HTC M9s is better.

  • Where is rumored M10?

  • m9s is really nice.the sound,body quality and screen all are awesome. the battery stands for 1 day full usage and also it runs every games very smooth without any delay. and most important is the cameras. main is great and shoots very naturally and OIS makes the pictures very obvious. the front is the best in mobile world.it same with m9 and other hts flagships ( ultra pixel )

  • hi friends what do you have idea about samsung a5 2016 vs htc one m9s???

  • How to allow the remote Control. It's not working with the peel smart remote

  • How to allow the remote Control. It's not working with the peel smart remote

  • You do know this is supposed to be a midrange device right, genius?

  • Could you please run Antutu test and write result here? Thanks a lot.

  • The display is also pretty dark (comparatively To Lg/Huawei/Sony/htc m7) and it is kind of disturbing. The display also presents very artificial colors. The device is pretty fast (i don't play games, so for calling and whatsapp it's ok for sure).

  • Got the phone today. Front camera is very poor and not like the wonderful front camera in the htc one m9. although the front camera suppose to be exactly like the one in the htc one m9, it isn't! .Rear camera is bad- the colors in the pictures are very artificial. Pictures in both cameras are also dark. Very disappointing. I will write more about the device later :(

  • Got this device in gunmetal grey, works like a charm. A great alternative to the regular HTC One M9.

  • does one m9s supports usb otg? anyone?

  • Is this phone worth payin around 380euro for?

  • Is this phone worth payin around 380euro for?

  • At least Mediatek packs an integrated Wolfson DAC which is very well-regarded by audiophiles, and HTC puts a class D headphone amp on top of that.

  • I have it about 1month and have no problems that you mentioned.it's an great phone and works as a flagship.

  • very complicated! kids mode interrupting and annoying. cant disable it. battery weak! i do not recommend this phone unless you are computer guru.

  • Mediatek? really?

  • What? Since when Iphone has 1080p screen, stereo speakers and gorgeous design? Iphone has it's strengths but it's not the best for sure. It fails at multimedia hardware compared to the android beasts.

  • I think they need to change for a new model....All are same on seeing just the screen size matters.

  • mediatek is so bad

  • Lol If nothing better then apple then why hell u on HTC Forum.

  • Apple will eventually follow the rueful path of Nokia and Blackberry. The gimmick will ultimately fall.

  • So, you should buy apple. And I think none can intelligent like you. Lol.. You should go with the below link where expert's compare both device.

  • funny.nothings better than iphone 6.infact nothings more attractive than apple

  • The design of M9s its boring almost same with M8. C'mon samsung/sony/apple already did the new design & when was your turn?

  • I reject your words with regards.i have one m7 dual now but I tested one m8 and m9 butterfly s,desire eye,desire 820 n and 826,desire 816(bought many times for my friends) and many midranges for many days or months. all were great and m8 and m9 are better than m7 totally.especially one m9 it is very awesome and amazing.about one m9 camera I have it now and after many update camera is so perfect.htc flagships camera are like to dslr those need to works with manual for best quality.my m9 manual quality is far better than other flagships except lumia 1520 and 930.raw picture is so amazing and beautiful. and .... htc have the best midranges in 2years ago.look at these names and compare to other midranges in same period of time.desire 816 with grand 2 or xperia t2 or... so htc have made very good and awesome phones but advertising is so poor. ex:desire 820,816,826 and ... released with no advertising.s So htc needs ad in mobile world and have to challenge with most of the SITES those charge with app... and sams... .

  • The best phone of HTC is one A9. It is the best creation of HTC I ever seen. It is better than iphone 6.

  • Just went on to see HTC mobile list gosh so many 5" phones with same resolution little variation of ppi or chipset or ram or battery buy with different model names HTC do plz have a good sales and marketing manager Understand the need's of customers rather than producing tons of phones and unloading in mkt with efforts of vain later modify same phone add different model name Take a test mkt strategy design one phone

  • It saddens me to see HTC fail. After the M7 (which I still use and am proud of it) HTC has not been able to come up with a phone that would make me jump from my seat. I would really love to see them change there tactics and come back in the competitive market.

  • 9.6mm is the thickest part and when you get those in hand(m8,m9,m9+ and...) they really sit in hand as good as possible.i had m8 and now m9+ and really enjoy of it. every things are in top of needs

  • supeer model

  • 9.6 mm. what a joke

  • Seems like HTC just likes to launch the same phone over and over again but different name and a little difference in specs. HTC does offer premium build quality and awesome speakers and pretty decent OS, but other than it lacks behind competition with its specs and charges higher prices for it.

  • It is pity that htc is failing again and again after m7

  • Plz increase ur display& body ratio. 9.6mm is damn.

  • 2gb of ram is not enough for a flagship

  • Seems an excellent mid-range phone. I'd get one if it was released outside Taiwan and gets future Android updates.

  • After the M7 they've kept on failing phone after phone (HUGE bezels/low battery capacity/bad camera/overpriced). No idea how it can be so damn hard to learn from their mistakes and avoid killing the whole company!

  • guys grow up why you guys are not changing the way htc looks, the look is pretty old and ugly...

  • 9.6 It s not too thick.

  • Again? Oh well HTC you still have december to announce another M9 variant. Just mix things up. This time use Exynos chipset and call it HTC ONE M9s+ lol

  • Just follow one rule, listen your customers what they want and what they want to see! But don't do what you want to see! That's easy!

  • Dear HTC, make me your company's manager just for 6 months, I will revive your company and I promise to increase your company's income! YOUR PHONE WILL BE THE BEST PHONE MAKING COMPANY!

  • Truly htc doesnt know what they ARE DOING

  • Just went on to see HTC mobile list gosh so many 5" phones with same resolution little variation of ppi or chipset or ram or battery buy with different model names HTC do plz have a good sales and marketing manager Understand the need's of customers rather than producing tons of phones and unloading in mkt with efforts of vain later modify same phone add different model name Take a test mkt strategy design one phone

  • yes ur right... they are using various mediatek chips with similar specs of rest.....!!!

  • I feel that galaxy alpha was more appealing a year ago (with good processer camera for this price range) , will also have hands on with A9 once it arrives in india

  • the phone isn't even available to buy yet!!!....the stupid Htc fanboys are the reason they are failing..too much praise let them rest on their laurels

  • 9.6 mm. what a joke :)), bye bye htc

  • If the price point is $399 or £299 and the audio and photo quality have remained the same as M9 and you are not a gamer then this HTC variant could be a really good buy.

  • Y does so many phones HTC can't have one good phone

  • I just received my A9 from the USA in Australia today and it is F..k .… amazing. It is hyper loads better than the GSM arena picture by a long shot. It is so sleek, so masculine. The critics were right about its look and feel. It is the best looking mobile phone I have ever seen. Seriously it is. Way way past my expectations. I wanted an apple look but I got so much better. This is the best mobile purchase I have made in 4 years an probably the best looking mobile I have seen. Now . . .i can finally see what the guys in the launch were excited about. The marshmallow on top and that screen. Stunning!! Do I sound excited. You bet. Well earnt HTC well earnt.

  • It looks like HTC's long years of glory and loyal custimers' loyalty ends up with this stupid mediatek phone

  • again mediatek processor? without fingerprint sensor?? huh, you must be kidding with your customer? i was a loyal customer of htc, after Htc M8, htc is going to flop soon, if you dont make any innovative design, in a near future you gonna flop, and the price of this phone should be 300$ maximum.

  • That phone still not on sales and you already have it for 6 months ? Time traveller spotted .

  • Yo Bro

  • what the bloody hell is going on with htc. every second there is a new htc one. well what about htc explorer 2. we are waiting, gaddamn it. its the most stylish and simple phone ever. enough of the crappy phablets. more like kitchen chopping boards.

  • The A9 looks more appealing to me...

  • Idk what wrong with HTC... all most rescent devices are way 2 expencive.

  • Exp. release 2015, November 20

  • Finally Looks good tho could look better with 3GB Ram, but anyway if only the price was down to earth...

  • looking good but what is the price

  • Very nice phone, have it like 6 months now. No problems and easy to use. great photos in low light and excellent and fast UI love it
