Get more out of every experience with the beautifully crafted HTC One M9’s unique combination of elegance and performance
Barcelona, Mobile World Congress, March 1, 2015 — HTC today unveiled its
most personal, beautiful and powerful smartphone yet, the HTC One M9. The
newest flagship in the globally acclaimed HTC One family, the HTC One M9 is a classic
yet timeless celebration of beauty and elegance that combines high style and
performance, enabling you to get the most from your mobile phone.
"HTC has built its reputation on challenging expectations

accomplishes this once again with stunning elegance and design, combined with
smart features that help bring your world to life, connecting you in a deeper
way to the things you consider most important. So much more than just a phone,
the HTC One M9 is an extension of who you are."
A complete celebration of design
Building on a three-year pursuit of excellence, the HTC
One M9 melds the best of the award-winning HTC One M7 and HTC One M8 into a
stunning, iconic design. Distinct metal edges combine perfectly with graceful
curves for a jewellery-grade look. Small and easy to hold, the crafted, all-metal
unibody design is highlighted by an exquisite dual-tone silver and rose gold1
finish that is as distinctive, as it is durable. Mirror-polished gold sides
cascade effortlessly into a hairline brushed silver back panel, encasing a
bright and vivid display.
HTC Sense 7: An extension of you
Your phone should make a statement about who you are and
the new HTC Sense? 7 experience puts you in control of everything. Highly
customizable and intuitively you, Themes puts you at the center of the
smartphone experience, intelligently analyzing your favorite photos to modify

perfectly placed to enrich your mobile life. Sense 7 reinvents the home screen to
deliver the most useful apps to the homepage based on your location. Whether at
home, work, or play, you’re never more than a click away from the features you

Incredible imaging: Helping you create
your best memories
With the best camera being the one you carry in your
pocket, your smartphone should make it a breeze to take brilliant, creative and
fun images. The HTC One M9’s cameras are designed to capture every moment in
amazing quality, allowing you to relive those moments again and again. The main
camera features an incredible 20 megapixels that accentuate every crisp,
intricate detail and a sapphire cover lens that protects from scratches. For
vivid video that looks like the latest blockbuster, the camera also shoots movies
in 4K resolution.
The best moments take you by surprise and spontaneity
often doesn’t come fully lit. The ultimate companion of the impulsive snapper,
the HTC One M9 addresses low-light shots with a powerful UltraPixel?
front-facing camera. Dynamic auto exposure and UltraPixels that capture 300%
more light than standard cameras deliver sharper, more natural and balanced self-portraits
in any lighting conditions.
HTC Sense 7 with HTC’s EYE? Experience software makes
taking creative pictures easy. A host of new editing effects including Shapes,
Prismatic, Elements and Bokeh allow you to add a little bit of individual
artistry into every shot, with the Zoe? app automatically editing them, putting
them to your choice of music2 and letting friends remix the collection with
their own shots to create a shared celebration from every moment.
With so many incredible images, quickly showing your
friends those brilliant shots could become an issue. Wherever they’re stored, the
new One Gallery makes it easy to search through your entire photo library,
viewing images saved on the phone, on social media, and on select cloud platforms.
The gallery puts your whole image library at your fingertips, searching by
date, location, event, album or even the images themselves with Image Match.
Exhilarating audio: Hear the
difference
A truly great viewing experience deserves sound that puts
you on the front row. The HTC One M9 guarantees a larger-than-life soundtrack
courtesy of HTC BoomSound?. The HTC One family’s iconic dual front-facing
speakers, now combined with 5.1 channel Dolby? Surround sound3 simulation,
get you even closer to the action, delivering extraordinary, cinema-style
surround sound. Uniting HTC BoomSound and Dolby Audio? creates immersion
vibrant audio experience, so you can enjoy movies with rich, clear and powerful
sound even without connecting headphones or external speakers. Whether

high-definition sound that surpasses even CD quality. HTC’s unique combination
of HTC BoomSound, Dolby Audio?, a finely tuned sound profile, and Qualcomm?
