When viewed from the front, the M9 is nearly indistinguishable from the M8. The M9 slips into pockets with no problem. The gentle curve of the rear surface helps it sit comfortably in your palm, but the band that circles the side edges has an annoying lip. For example, my thumb was able to reach the entire screen without requiring me to adjust my grip. Since the M9 has a 5-inch screen, it isn't monstrously huge. It's a bit on the heavy side, but that's to be expected in an all-metal phone. Together, these make the M9 less slippery. It meets the side edges in precise corners. I like the brushed aluminum back cover, which has just a bit more texture than last year's phone. The quality of the materials is quite good. The M9 is an elegant piece of hardware, to be sure. However HTC was able to incorporate them into the design in a tasteful way. These bands are purely functional they serve the antenna design, just like similar bands on the iPhone. The phone has the now-familiar BoomSound speaker grilles above and below the screen, as well as thin plastic bands that run across the back surface. The all-black version looks better, as the band doesn't stand out so much. The model we tested has a light champagne hue on the back and front surfaces, but the side of the phone is wrapped in a gaudy-looking gold band. The metal has a two-tone finish, which is one of the few things that sets the M9 apart from the M8 visually. I haven't decided if that's a good thing or a bad thing, yet. That means this year's phone from HTC is practically identical to last year's phone. So does the M9 when compared to its predecessor, the M8. The iPhone 5s carried over the iPhone 5's design almost exactly, but added new features. It's probably best to think of the One M9 as the iPhone 5s.

If you're an Android lover and want hardware that rivals the iPhone in terms of quality, the One M9 is the way to go.
It's the pinnacle of design and technology from HTC, and competes directly with the likes of the Apple iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S6.
