Since the M9+ sports a bigger 5.2-inch display, the phone is wider (151mm) and taller (72mm) than the One M8 and weighs slightly more(168gram). Besides the two-tone colours, if you observe carefully, you’ll notice that the phone’s back is less curved near the edges unlike the One M8’s back. The difference in colour is not really stark and you may even ignore it at first glance. Our review unit featured a silver body and gold edges. The only major change that you’ll see in the One M9+ is the dual-tone colour scheme with the edges sporting a different shade. It’s true that in the past, even the likes of Apple and Samsung have chosen to stick with the same tested form factor and design for their flagships but beyond two iterations it really becomes boring as people expect some novelty. However, this also means that HTC has chosen to stay in its comfort zone and has not taken the risk to experiment with the design language of its flagship phone. Build and design The HTC One M9+ follows the legacy of the original One and sports almost the same design which won accolades for its premium, all-metal construction and unique design. So can the new One M9+ compete with the latest flagship phones be a worthy successor to the One M8? We spent a few weeks with the One M9+ to find out. So the One M9+ essentially addresses the One M9’s shortcomings and adds more features. Another reason for this decision could be the major heating problems being reported with the Snapdragon 810. MediaTek processors are majorly associated with budget phones but the One M9+ is run by the new Helio X10 processor, a high-end chip.
Keep in mind that HTC has also used a new MediaTek processor instead of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 which powers the One M9.
