Hey HTC...Fail

[Shepx13]

No OIS for the camera? No purchase. Phil already says he's getting mixed results from the camera. If that's what I wanted, I'd stick with my Moto x.

why no mention of the one m9+?

Honestly, I have been so close to buying an HTC phone starting with the Original one, then last year with the M8 but they continue to make the same mistakes. First of all the bezels are huge on the top and bottom making a 5 inch phone seem way to big. The bottom bezel when you combine the speakers, the HTC black bar, and then the on screen buttons it is way to much. Then the software basically nothing new. Come on HTC

Chris from Engadget is saying the camera is worse! Part of the issue is that HTC made the switch in the first place - by moving the UltraPixel tech up front and plopping a 20-megapixel Sony sensor into the M9, HTC's basically diving back into the Imaging Cold War it tried distancing itself from for a year.
That's no great sin by itself, but in my early testing (with non-final software, in fairness), the camera seems noticeably worse than that of the M8. Confused? So was I. Right out of the box, white balance and color temperature seemed inexorably screwy, while shots took with the last-gen M8 were more accurately exposed.

final or not its not looking great for htc right now. shame as they used to be a top tier company years ago.

Just sad HTC.
I was hoping the EVLeaks photos were accurate but I guess not.
Looks like Samsung is gonna get my money this year.

Good grief, in the media sphere it's getting roasted already. Not sure what makes the HTC gate keepers so delusional. HTC now maintains its fringe status.

 

[smooth3006]

the feedback im reading across the web isnt too positive right now for htc.

It's okay, they will go back into their Virtual Reality (VR) cubby hole. This world is too much for them.

First laugh I've had all day, thanks

 

[smooth3006]

no mention of a dev edition or the m9+ either.

Seriously, the last thing I want is my phone telling me what I have in my under garments...wait 'till Google gets ahold of that one > Hey world, check this out...Inders99 has **** in his ****

Me thinks HTC has a whole new subset of buyers with this one.

 

[npaladin-2000]

Yeah I'll be going Sammy or LG this year. And there's nothing strictly wrong with my phone except for a lack of accessories.

I think we are all being to harsh to HTC. I like the new, incremental design, I am happy to see that HTC is now using cooler colors on the HTC display. I also like the fact that the standard device will have 32GB (in Europe the M8 came with 16 only). I hope the camera is good, but somehow I am not really expecting it.
Apart from that the event was presented badly and the other two HTC products were a big disappointment.

I really think that HTC has the best designed phones out there, and that comes from an iPhone user. The M9 will not make me sell my iPhone 6 Plus, but it might come next to it, as my second device on the go..

Is the world mad? The camera software is in a pre release state as most responsible reviewers noted and most readers apparently ignored. Samsung should of learned from the HTC One M7 and included expandable memory. Touch wiz + standard Samsung bloat = no storage.

Which is the best Moto device so far? Or will they be announcing something?
